Youku Tudou Announces Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2012 Unaudited Financial Results

Bookmark and Share
Youku Tudou Inc., China's leading Internet television company, today announced its unaudited financial results for fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012.

"I am pleased with our financial and operational performance in the fourth quarter, which was the first full quarter for the merged Youku-Tudou company. We managed solid revenue growth and the net loss for the combined company has narrowed materially despite sales disruption brought on by the reorganization of our sales team after the merger," said Victor Koo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Youku Tudou. "Even as the integration process is proceeding well, we expect temporary business impact from this large-scale merger but we are optimistic that the second half of 2013 will see more revenue growth momentum and cost synergies. In 2013, we also plan to start monetizing the significant growth in our mobile traffic as our daily mobile video views exceeded 100 million by the end of 2012."

Dele Liu, President of Youku Tudou, commented, "In terms of cost structure, the fourth quarter results reflect early synergies resulting from the merger, especially in bandwidth and personnel related expenses. We expect this trend to continue into 2013, supported by the overall improvement of our unit economics due to the ongoing growth in traffic, especially the significant growth from mobile devices. In addition, we are strengthening our in-house productions offering to reduce our reliance on professional licensed content as well as generate additional revenues through program sponsorship and product placements."
