JumpTV Reports Q4 Revenue of US$4.7 Million
JumpTV's 2007 Revenue: $8.97 Million Up From $2.06 Million in 2006
TORONTO--(Marketwire - March 27, 2008) - JumpTV Inc. ("JumpTV" or the "Company")
(TSX: JTV) (AIM: JTV), a leader in broadcasting international television and
sports over the Internet, today announced quarterly and year-end results for the
period ended December 31, 2007 in U.S. dollars.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2007 revenue increased to $4,791,534 from
$748,864 in the same period a year ago. Sequentially, revenue increased from
$2,004,056 in the third quarter of 2007, primarily due to the acquisition of the
Broadband Network Division of XOS Technologies Inc. on August 31, 2007.
Of the $4.79 million in revenue in the quarter, $2.4 million was earned through
monthly, quarterly and annual subscriptions, approximately $0.7 million from pay
per view subscriptions, $0.45 million from advertising and $1.24 million from
other services such as JumpTV's net share of e-commerce transactions and
ticketing.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $8,974,659 up from $2,061,031
reported in 2006. The Company acquired the Broadband Network Division of XOS
Technologies Inc. on August 31, 2007.
The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $10,504,582 or
$0.21 per basic and diluted share compared to $8,676,543 or $0.25 per basic and
diluted share in the same period a year ago and $6,466,061 or $0.13 per share in
the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The increase in net loss was primarily due
to non-cash expenses totaling approximately $3 million and the accrual of
approximately $400,000 relating to severance.
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $30,570,111 up from the
loss of $25,597,096 reported in 2006.
As previously reported, the Company had $51 million in cash and equivalents as
of December 31, 2007.
Jordan Banks, newly appointed CEO of JumpTV said, "We are pleased to see our
revenue and subscriber base continue to grow though we recognize that the loss
levels are not sustainable. To that end, we developed an eight point strategic
plan announced February 14, 2008, which we are confident will lead the JumpTV to
cash breakeven by year end."
JumpTV had approximately 92,000 subscriptions at December 31, 2007 as compared
to 28,138 at December 31, 2006. As at December 31, 2007, approximately 57,000
subscriptions were subscriptions to JumpTV Sports and 35,000 were subscriptions
to the Company's international channels. In addition, the Company had a total of
approximately 52,000 pay-per view purchases during the three months ended
December 31, 2007. The Company launched a free-to-consumer offering of what were
previous subscription-supported international channels in mid 2007 and now
offers approximately 120 channels free-to-consumer in the US (and five in
Canada).
The following metrics for churn, SAC and ARPU are based solely on JumpTV
International's content offerings. The Company doesn't intend to report on these
subscription-based metrics in future periods. Metrics related to the company's
expanding advertising business are noted below.

Nada Usina, newly appointed President of JumpTV noted, "We have built a direct
ad sales force over the past few months to leverage the value of the inventory
resident across all of our content. To date, we are delighted with the traffic
metrics we are achieving together with the demographics of our users. This,
coupled with our unique content, leads us to believe JumpTV is on the cusp of
successfully monetizing these assets. We are also very excited to continue to
monetize as we add new sports and Latin American channel partnerships and
continue to grow our existing content relationships."
The Company reports quarterly and recent key developments for JumpTV:
-- Jordan Banks, former managing director of eBay Canada was appointed CEO on
October 29, 2007.
-- Mr Banks announced JumpTV's strategic realignment subsequent to quarter end
which will see the Company's resources focused on its 175 US college and other

evaluating alternatives to optimize value for all constituents with respect to
its content delivery network and its portfolio of non-Hispanic international
channels.
-- In December 2007, comScore ranked JumpTV as the #1 most engaging sports
website in the U.S. based on number of minutes watched per viewer. In addition,
comScore ranked JumpTV #3 -- trailing only the NFL.com and ESPN.com -- based on
total number of minutes viewed.
-- JumpTV announced a partnership with SCP Worldwide resulting in JumpTV having
a carried interest in 20 per cent of the net revenue earned from the fees
generated for 70 upcoming South American World Cup Qualifying matches to be
