Exhibit 99.1

 

MultiMetaVerse Holdings Limited Announces 2023 Unaudited Half Year Financial Results

 

SHANGHAI, December 19, 2023 – MultiMetaVerse Holdings Limited (“MMV” or the “Company”, collectively with its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities, the “Group”) (NASDAQ: MMV), an animation and entertainment company for young consumers in China, today announced its unaudited 2023 half year financial results.

 

2023 Half Year Highlights:

 

Business combination among Model Performance Acquisition Corp., the Company, Model Performance Mini Sub Corp. and MultiMetaVerse Inc. (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement dated as of August 6, 2021, was consummated on January 4, 2023.

 

Total net revenues were US$5.5 million, representing a decrease of 31% compared to that of the same period in 2022.

 

Net loss attributable to shareholders of the Company was US$23.8 million, compared to US$4.8 million for the same period in 2022.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was negative US$4.2 million, compared to negative US$1.8 million of net adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2022.

 

“Affected by the overall decrease of consumer demand in China in the industry, and in particular, the spending of young consumers making up the majority of our fan base, we have seen a decrease in net revenues and a larger loss from operations.” said Mr. Yiran Xu, chairman and chief executive officer of the Company. “Despite of this, we delivered remarkable animation and entertainment contents to the market. We launched a major game update, titled Project A, which secured 1.6 million new users up to June 2023 with limited marketing expenses, and earned a rating of 4.8 out of 5.0 on iOS app store. We completed the production of a new series, Aotu Academy Season 3, in this period which earned a rating of 9.4 out of 10.0 on Bilibili when subsequently published in September 2023. With various quality contents distributed, our fan base and social media followers continue to grow; the number of followers on the top two short video platforms in China, namely Douyin and Kuaishou, increased from 5.3 million to 5.8 million in the first half of 2023. In addition, we experienced revenue growth in other business segments of our operation, such as game cinematic animation production services and brand licensing. To manage the Company’s operating loss, we also have streamlined our work force for efficiency, and we believe we will realize these economic benefits in the second half of the year.

 

2023 Half Year Financial Results

 

Total net revenues. Total net revenues were US$5.5 million, representing a decrease of 31% compared to that of the same period in 2022.

 

Mobile games. Revenue from mobile games was US$2.1 million, representing an increase of 40% compared to that of the same period in 2022. The increase was mainly attributed to the launch of Project A in February 2023.

 

Merchandise. Revenue from merchandise sales was US$1.4 million, representing a decrease of 41% from the same period in 2022 due to a generally weaker consumer market in China during this period.

 

Animation production services. Revenue from rendering of animation production services was US$1.3 million, representing a decrease of 49% from the same period of 2022, mainly due to less animation series produced during the first half of 2023. On the other hand, game cinematic animation revenue was more than tripled in the first half of 2023 compared to that of the same period in 2022, increasing from US$0.2 million to US$0.7 million, as a result of larger customer base.

 

 

 

 

Licensing. Revenue from licensing was US$0.7 million, representing a decrease of 48% from the same period in 2022, primarily due to a decrease in revenues from certain one-off broadcast license related to its original new animation products. The decrease was partially offset by the increase of brand license business, which increased from US$0.2 million in the first half of 2022 to US$0.5 million in the same period in 2023, primarily attributable to additional cooperation accomplished with a number of virtual entertainment service providers.

 

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues was US$3.1 million, representing a decrease of 26% from the same period in 2022. The decrease was mainly due to lower inventory costs and animation production costs, which were generally in line with the decrease in revenue.

 

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased to US$2.4 million for the first half in 2023 from US$3.7 million for the same period in 2022. Gross margin slightly decreased to 43.3% in the first half of 2023 compared to 46.5% in the same period in 2022, due to the decline of the high gross margin licensing business.

 

Total operating expenses. Total operating expenses were US$25.9 million, which was more than tripled compared to that of the same period in 2022.

 

Selling expenses. Selling expenses were US$1.1 million, representing a 135% increase year-over-year. The increase was primarily the marketing and promotion budget deployed for the launch of Project A, our major game update.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were US$21.7 million, which increased by approximately 3.8 times compared to the administrative expenses incurred in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increased share-based compensation and transaction costs related to the Business Combination. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company fully amortized the remaining share-based compensation expense of US$15.1 million upon the consummation of the Business Combination in January 2023, as compared to US$2.3 million amortization charged to general and administrative expenses during the first half of 2022. In addition, transaction costs related to the Business Combination amounted to US$4.0 million compared to US$0.4 million in the same period in 2022.

 

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were US$3.1 million, representing a 10% decrease year-over-year. The decrease was consistent with the Company’s original animation production pace, as more original contents, mainly Aotu World Season 4, were produced in the first half of 2022. Research and development expenses for other projects remained relatively stable.

 

Loss from operations. Loss from operations was US$23.5 million, compared to US$4.6 million for the same period in 2022.

 

Other income/(loss), net. Total other loss was US$0.5 million, representing a 128% increase compared with that of the same period in 2022. The change was primarily due to the increase of interest expenses from US$0.3 million in the first half of 2022 to US$0.6 million in the same period in 2023, as a result of additional loans and interest payments due to related parties and third parties.

 

Net loss. Net loss attributable to MultiMetaVerse Holdings Limited’s shareholders was US$23.8 million, compared to a net loss of US$4.8 million in the same period in 2022.

 

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was negative US$4.2 million, which was US$2.4 million higher of the net adjusted EBITDA of negative US$1.8 million in the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA from operations is a non-GAAP measure that excludes share-based compensation expenses, transaction costs, interest expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Basic and diluted EPS. Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share were US$0.72 each, compared to US$0.16 each in the same period in 2022.

 

Cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$1.8 million.

 

Liquidity and capital resources. The Group has incurred losses since its inception. As of June 30, 2023, the Group had an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of US$110.3 million and US$1.9 million, respectively. In addition, for the first half of 2023, the Group recorded a net loss attributable to shareholders and adjusted EBITDA of US$23.8 million and US$4.2 million, respectively. Historically, the Group has relied principally on both operational sources of cash, equity contributions from its shareholders, and loans from its shareholders and other related parties to fund its operations and business development. In November 2023, the Company has reached a subscription agreement for the Company’s ordinary shares with a third party investor with an aggregate consideration of US$15 million. In addition to issuance of equity or debt securities, the Group needs to maintain its operating costs at a level through strict cost control to ensure operating costs not to exceed its sources of funds to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months after the issuance of its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

There can be no assurance that the Group will be successful in achieving its cost control and budget goals, that the Group’s future capital raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or with acceptable terms, if at all. If the Group is unable to raise sufficient financing or events or circumstances occur such that the Group does not meet its cost control and budget goals, it may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The Company uses adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating its financial results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net loss represents net income excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment loss and transaction costs, and such adjustment has no impact on income tax expense.

 

The Company believes that adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA help identify the underlying trends of its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that the Company includes in the net loss. The Company believes that adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about its financial results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision- making.

 

Adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted net loss and adjusted EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the data of the Company. The Company encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

 

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results.”
