Digital Turbine Inc. (APPS) reported a wider loss in the fourth quarter of 2019 hurt by a larger change in fair value of warrant liability and convertible note embedded derivative liability. However, the results exceeded analysts’ expectations. The company guided first-quarter revenue in-line with the consensus estimates. Following this, the stock inched up over 7% in the after-market session.
Net loss from continuing operations was $6.8 million or $0.09 per share, wider than a loss of $4.2 million or $0.06 per share in the previous year quarter. Adjusted earnings were $0.03 per share compared to a loss of $0.01 per share a year ago.
Revenue jumped by 30% to $27.2 million, primarily driven by higher revenue-per-device with its large U.S.-based carrier partners, reflecting strong baseline advertiser demand for platform products. Revenue growth was also supplemented by 129% year-over-year growth in revenue derived from international partners and Open Market devices.
Looking ahead into the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the company expects revenue in the range of $28 million to $28.5 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $2.2 million to $2.6 million.
