Warner Music Group Revenue Down In Fiscal Q2
Warner Music Group
has reported its fiscal second quarter results, with revenue down eight percent from Q2 a year ago. Revenue fell from $684 million to $628 million in Q2, but digital revenue grew by seven percent, from $220 million to $235 million. WMG's operating income was up 38 percent to $22 million, as OIBDA grew four percent to $85 million. Warner Music's net loss fell from $38 million a year ago to $36 million in fiscal Q2.

The lower revenue in fiscal Q2 was attributed to a light release schedule, as well as "continued physical revenue declines in the recorded music industry." Major sellers in the quarter included Skrillex, The Black Keys, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran and fun.. Digital revenue represented 37.4 percent of total revenue for the quarter, compared to 32.2 percent in the prior-year quarter.

"With growing digital and non-traditional revenue partially offsetting the impact of a light release schedule as compared to the prior-year quarter, this quarter's results show the benefits of the company's transformation," said WMG CEO Stephen Cooper. "We remain optimistic about the company's performance over the course of the fiscal year as we continue to execute on our long-term strategy."

"Through ongoing focus on cost management, we were able to increase OIBDA, expand OIBDA margins and generate significant free cash flow," added EVP/CFO Brian Roberts.
