MONTREAL, Nov. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stingray Group Inc. (TSX: RAY.A; RAY.B) (the “Corporation”; “Stingray”), an industry leader in music and video content distribution, business services, and advertising solutions, announced today its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 ended September 30, 2024.

Article content

Reporting on second quarter results for fiscal 2025, Stingray’s President, co-founder and CEO Eric Boyko stated:

“Stingray’s FAST channel and retail media segments continued to drive growth in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, raising advertising revenues by 66% year-over-year. A pilot project with Vizio on the FAST channel side, combined with increased penetration with other TV manufacturers, largely contributed to the significant revenue growth. We also benefited from digital equipment installations at new accounts across our North American advertising platform to bolster revenues. On the retail media front, key customer wins at Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart and Mondou within our Canadian network should deliver meaningful revenue contributions in the second half of the fiscal year and beyond.”

“Moving on to our in-car entertainment business, we recently launched Stingray Karaoke in Ford Motor Company vehicles, beginning with the all-electric F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E, while further deployments are expected across the Ford and Lincoln fleet. We also secured a similar agreement with NIO for its smart electric vehicles across European countries and expanded our footprint at BYD with an updated version of our Karaoke app. In addition, we created a whole new revenue stream within the in-car entertainment space through a partnership with Xperi/TiVo by introducing eight new channels on video screens for backseat passengers of BMW Group vehicles. This premium video offering will be extended to other luxury car manufacturers in upcoming quarters as we position Stingray as a supplier of choice in this market.”

“Altogether, revenues for our Broadcasting and Commercial Music business increased 22.2% to $60.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, while Radio revenues remained stable year-over-year at $32.7 million as we kept outpacing industry peers.”

“Notwithstanding these positive data points, we achieved organic growth (excluding Radio) of 15.6% in the second quarter, marking four consecutive reporting periods in which Stingray has generated robust revenue increases year-over-year. This string of strong organic results, in turn, has provided an enhanced degree of predictability to our profitability, including maintaining a consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 35%.” Mr. Boyko concluded.

Second Quarter Results
Revenues increased $11.1 million, or 13.4%, to $93.6 million in Q2 2025 from $82.5 million in Q2 2024. The year-over-year growth was mainly due to an increase in FAST channel sales as well as higher equipment and installation sales related to digital signage.

For the quarter, revenues in Canada rose $0.5 million, or 1.1%, to $48.9 million from $48.4 million in Q2 2024. The growth reflects enhanced equipment and installation sales related to digital signage, partially offset by a decrease in audio channel revenues.

Revenues in the United States grew $11.3 million, or 52.5%, to $32.9 million in Q2 2025 from $21.6 million in Q2 2024. The increase can largely be attributed to higher FAST channel revenues, along with enhanced equipment and installation sales related to digital signage.

Revenues in Other countries decreased $0.7 million, or 5.9%, to $11.8 million in Q2 2025 from $12.5 million in Q2 2024. The decline was mainly due to reduced business-to-consumer (B2C) subscriptions and less audio channel revenues.  

Broadcasting and Commercial Music revenues increased $11.1 million, or 22.2%, to $60.9 million in Q2 2025 from $49.8 million in Q2 2024. The growth was primarily driven by higher FAST channel revenues and greater equipment and installation sales related to digital signage. Radio revenues remained stable year-over-year at $32.7 million in Q2 2025 as higher digital advertising sales were offset by slightly lower national airtime revenues.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ improved $4.5 million, or 15.2%, to $34.0 million in Q2 2025 from $29.5 million in Q2 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾ reached 36.3% in Q2 2025 compared to 35.8% in the same period in 2024. The growth in Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ and Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾   was mainly due to higher revenues.

Article content

Net income totaled $5.8 million, or $0.08 per share, in Q2 2025 compared to $9.4 million, or $0.14 per share, in Q2 2024. The decrease was mainly caused by a loss in the fair value of derivative financial instruments and to a negative foreign exchange impact, partially offset by higher operating results.

Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ reached $16.7 million, or $0.24 per share, in Q2 2025 compared to $14.6 million, or $0.21 per share, in the same period of 2024. The increase can primarily be attributed to better operating results, partially offset by a foreign exchange loss.

Cash flow generated from operating activities totaled $19.2 million in Q2 2025 compared to $19.1 million in Q2 2024. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to better operating results, largely offset by a foreign exchange loss and a higher negative change in non-cash operating items. Adjusted free cash flow^(1),(2) amounted to $21.1 million in Q2 2025 compared to $14.6 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher operating results.

As at September 30, 2024, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $8.6 million, subordinated debt of $25.6 million and credit facilities of $350.5 million, of which approximately $68.0 million was available. The Net Debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA ratio⁽¹⁾ stood at 2.72x as at September 30, 2024 compared to 3.19x as at September 30, 2023.

Non-IFRS Measures
The Corporation believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are important measures when analyzing its operating profitability without being influenced by financing decisions, non-cash items and income taxes strategies. Comparison with peers is also easier as companies rarely have the same capital and financing structure. The Corporation believes that Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Net income per share are important measures as it shows stable results from its operation which allows users of the financial statements to better assess the trend in the profitability of the business. The Corporation believes that Adjusted free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow per share are important measures when assessing the amount of cash generated after accounting for capital expenditures and non-core charges. It demonstrates cash available to make business acquisitions, pay dividend and reduce debt. The Corporation believes that Net debt and Net debt to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are important to analyse the company’s debt repayment capacity on an annualized basis, taking into consideration the annualized adjusted EBITDA of acquisitions made during the last twelve months.

Article content

Each of these non-IFRS financial measures is not an earnings or cash flow measure recognized by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. This method of calculating such financial measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, our definition of these non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Investors are cautioned that non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with IFRS as indicators of our performance or to cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows.

MONTREAL, Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Metals Incorporated (the “Company” or “Osisko Metals”) (TSX-V: OM; OTCQX: OMZNF; FRANKFURT: 0B51) is pleased to announce that the Pine Point Mining Limited (“PPML”) Feasibility Study (“FS”) is now fully underway, with an expected completion date in Q2 2025.

Since early 2023, PPML has engaged with its key technical and strategic advisors to optimize the 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment Update (‘’PEA’’). The objective was to complete Definition Studies to compare key concepts, otherwise known as trade-off studies, typically performed during the Pre-Feasibility study stage.

Article content

Since November of 2023, PPML and the team have conducted and thoroughly analyzed various technical trade-off studies to better define the FS final design concept. In Q3 2024, PPML’s Board of Directors approved the company’s final design concept to be developed in the FS. The FS will use the Mineral Resource Estimate announced on June 25th, 2024, that reported 49.5MT of Indicated Mineral Resources Grading 5.52% ZnEq and 8.3Mt of Inferred Mineral Resources Grading 5.64% ZnEq (see note below under “About Osisko Metals”).

These more detailed design concepts will bridge the Project from a PEA level into the FS stage and support concurrent Environmental Assessment and Permitting activities. A significant change is that the preconcentration methods proposed in the 2020 & 2022 PEA studies (i.e. XRF Ore Sorting, Dense Media Separation) will not be incorporated in the concentrator design in favour of conventional “Full Milling”. This will have an overall better recovery of zinc and lead and will reduce operational risk with the simpler flow sheet. Other concepts that were analyzed in detail were the use of former Cominco Era open pits to dispose of waste rock and tailings as much as possible. All key concepts will be presented to communities for feedback in upcoming community meetings planned for November 2024.

The PPML team relies on the experience of Qualified Persons working for established engineering firms, including Synectiq, BBA, GMining, Newfields, Terrane Geoscience, and WSP, to develop the Feasibility Study and advance permitting. WSP has local offices in the Northwest Territories and the experience needed for permitting in the North.

This summer, PPML had two weeks of site visits where the Project was presented to Government representatives, community leaders and members and environmental regulators and we thank them for their participation.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — South Bow Corp. (TSX & NYSE: SOBO) has received an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer from TRC Capital Investment Corp. (TRC Capital) to purchase up to 3 million South Bow common shares, or approximately 1.4% of South Bow’s outstanding common shares, at a below-market price of C$31.95. South Bow does not endorse TRC Capital’s unsolicited offer, has no affiliation with TRC Capital or its offer, and does not recommend or endorse this unsolicited mini-tender offer.

Article content

South Bow cautions shareholders that the mini-tender offer has been made at a below-market price for the South Bow common shares. TRC Capital’s unsolicited offer price of C$31.95 per share represents a discount of 4.6% to the closing price of the South Bow common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 28, 2024, the last trading day before the mini-tender offer was commenced, and a discount of 7.4% to the closing price on Nov. 1, 2024.

Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for their shares, consult with their broker or financial advisor, and exercise caution with respect to TRC Capital’s unsolicited offer. Shareholders who have already tendered their shares should consider taking actions to withdraw them, including reviewing the withdrawal procedures in TRC Capital’s offering documents.

TRC Capital has made similar unsolicited mini-tender offers for shares of other public companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to avoid many investor protections like disclosure and procedural requirements applicable to most take-over bids and tender offers under Canadian and U.S. securities laws. The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have expressed concerns about mini-tender offers, including the possibility that investors might tender to such offers without understanding the offer price relative to the actual market price of their securities.

Article content

The SEC states that “bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.” The SEC has published investor tips about mini-tender offers, which can be found at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.

Brokers, dealers, and other market participants are encouraged to exercise caution and review the letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offers dissemination and disclosures at www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm.

Comments from the CSA on mini-tender offers can be found at http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/SecuritiesLaw_csa_19991210_61-301.jsp.

South Bow requests that this news release be included in any distribution of materials relating to TRC Capital’s mini-tender offer for South Bow common shares.

Article content

“We continue to mitigate industry headwinds including lower production volumes in each of our core regions. Our ongoing initiatives and results to date reinforce our conviction in our free cashflow outlook this year and beyond. As we continuously seek to optimize value creation, we are resuming share repurchases in the fourth quarter – ahead of our prior plan.” – Swamy Kotagiri, Magna’s Chief Executive Officer

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

We posted sales of $10.3 billion for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 4% from the third quarter of 2023. The lower sales largely reflects a 4% decrease in global light vehicle production, including 6% lower production in each of North America and China and a 2% decline in Europe. In addition, sales were negatively impacted by the end of production of certain programs, and divestitures, net of acquisitions, partially offset by the launch of new programs and customer price increases to recover certain higher production input costs.

Adjusted EBIT decreased to $594 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $615 million in the third quarter of 2023. This mainly reflects reduced earnings on lower sales, higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, and lower equity income. These were partially offset by higher net favourable commercial items, continued productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain underperforming facilities, lower net engineering costs, including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses and the negative impact of the UAW labour strike during the third quarter of 2023.

Income from operations before income taxes increased to $700 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $538 million in the third quarter of 2023, which includes Other (income) expense, net⁽²⁾ items and Amortization of acquired intangibles totaling ($160) million and $28 million in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The most significant item in either period was the positive impact of recognizing $196 million of Fisker deferred revenue as the associated agreements were cancelled in the third quarter of 2024. Excluding Other (income) expense, net and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, income from operations before income taxes decreased $26 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, largely reflecting the decrease in Adjusted EBIT.

Net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $484 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $394 million in the third quarter of 2023, which includes Other (income) expense, net⁽²⁾, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles totaling $(115) million and $25 million in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluding Other (income) expense, net, after tax and Amortization of acquired intangibles from both periods, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. decreased $50 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Article content

Diluted earnings per share were $1.68 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.37 in the comparable period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.28, down $0.18 from $1.46 for the third quarter of 2023, including $0.10 due to a higher income tax rate. 

In the third quarter of 2024, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $785 million and used $58 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the third quarter of 2024 included $476 million in fixed asset additions, $115 million in investments, other assets and intangible assets and $1 million in private equity investments.

⁽²⁾ Other (income) expense, net is comprised of Fisker Inc. [“Fisker”] related impacts (restructuring and impairment of assembly and production assets, the impairment of Fisker warrants, and the recognition of previously deferred revenue), revaluations of certain public company warrants and equity investments, restructuring activities and gain on business combination, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 & 2024. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is included in the back of this press release.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

We posted sales of $32.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $32.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a period in which global light vehicle production decreased 1%.

Adjusted EBIT was $1.64 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.68 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This reflects reduced earnings on lower sales, higher production input costs net of customer recoveries, reduced earnings on lower assembly volumes, acquisitions, net of divestitures, during or subsequent to the first nine months of 2023, and lower equity income. These were partially offset by continued productivity and efficiency improvements, including lower costs at certain underperforming facilities, higher net favourable commercial items, and lower net engineering costs, including spending related to our electrification and active safety businesses.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, income from operations before income taxes was $1.16 billion, net income attributable to Magna International Inc. was $806 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.81, decreases of $135 million, $136 million, and $0.48, respectively, each compared to the first nine months of 2023.

Article content

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted diluted earnings per share decreased 10% to $3.72, compared to the first nine months of 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we generated cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.06 billion and invested $333 million in operating assets and liabilities. Investment activities for the first nine months of 2024 included $1.47 billion in fixed asset additions, a $410 million increase in investments, other assets and intangible assets and $22 million in public and private equity investments.

RETURN OF CAPITAL

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we paid $138 million in dividends.

Our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.475 per Common Share, payable on November 29, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2024.

OTHER MATTERS

Subject to the approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange, our Board of Directors approved a new Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) to purchase up to approximately 28.5 million of our Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of our public float of Common Shares. This NCIB is expected to commence on or about November 7, 2024 and will terminate one year later.

SEGMENT SUMMARY

Article content

For further details on our segment results, please see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position and our Interim Financial Statements.

2024 OUTLOOK

We first disclose a full-year Outlook annually in February, with quarterly updates. The following Outlook is an update to our previous Outlook in August 2024.

Updated 2024 Outlook Assumptions

Updated 2024 Outlook

Article content

Our Outlook is intended to provide information about management’s current expectations and plans and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although considered reasonable by Magna as of the date of this document, the 2024 Outlook above and the underlying assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth herein. The risks identified in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below represent the primary factors which we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

Key Drivers of Our Business

Our operating results are primarily dependent on the levels of North American, European, and Chinese car and light truck production by our customers. While we supply systems and components to every major original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), we do not supply systems and components for every vehicle, nor is the value of our content consistent from one vehicle to the next. As a result, customer and program mix relative to market trends, as well as the value of our content on specific vehicle production programs, are also important drivers of our results.

Article content

OEM production volumes are generally aligned with vehicle sales levels and thus affected by changes in such levels. Aside from vehicle sales levels, production volumes are typically impacted by a range of factors, including: labour disruptions; free trade arrangements and tariffs; relative currency values; commodities prices; supply chains and infrastructure; availability and relative cost of skilled labour; regulatory frameworks; and other factors.

Overall vehicle sales levels are significantly affected by changes in consumer confidence levels, which may in turn be impacted by consumer perceptions and general trends related to the job, housing, and stock markets, as well as other macroeconomic and political factors. Other factors which typically impact vehicle sales levels and thus production volumes include: vehicle affordability; interest rates and/or availability of credit; fuel and energy prices; relative currency values; uncertainty as to consumer acceptance of EVs; government subsidies to consumers for the purchase of low- and zero-emission vehicles; and other factors.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION

Effective July 1, 2023, we revised our calculations of Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to exclude the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Revenue generated from acquired intangible assets is included within revenue in determining net income attributable to Magna. We believe that excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets from these Non-GAAP measures helps management and investors in understanding our underlying performance and improves comparability between our segmented results of operations and our peers.

The historical presentation of these Non-GAAP measures within this press release has also been updated to reflect the revised calculations.

Article content

Certain of the forward-looking financial measures above are provided on a Non-GAAP basis. We do not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. To do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting items that are not reflective of on-going operations in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.

This press release together with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position and our Interim Financial Statements are available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.magna.com/company/investors and filed electronically through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval + (SEDAR+) which can be accessed at http://www.sedarplus.ca as well as on the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR), which can be accessed at www.sec.gov.

Article content

We will hold a conference call for interested analysts and shareholders to discuss our third quarter ended September 30, 2024 results on Friday, November 1, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. ET.
