LOS ANGELES, CA and NEWARK, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / January 19, 2023 / IDW Media Holdings, Inc., ('IDW') (NYSE American:IDW), an integrated media company, today reported results for the three and twelve-months ended October 31, 2022.
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2022 (4Q22) Developments
Full Fiscal Year 2022 Developments
Howard Jonas, Chairman of IDW Media Holdings, commented, 'As we move through fiscal 2023, IDW remains focused on leveraging the combined strengths of its Publishing and Entertainment groups to produce inventive content for a variety of media platforms. The Board is pleased with the direction that Allan has brought to the Company since being appointed CEO in the fall, and we remain focused on driving long-term, sustained shareholder value.'
Allan Grafman, Chief Executive Officer of IDW Media Holdings, commented, 'We're pleased to have closed out fiscal 2022 with strong fourth quarter performance, as reflected in increased revenue, enhanced operating results and improved profitability year over year. As expected, our delivery of season three of Locke & Key drove significant revenue growth in the quarter. IDW continued to make solid progress throughout fiscal 2022 and we entered fiscal 2023 with a heightened focus on leveraging our creative partnerships to maximize our library of original titles for the continued development of print as well as entertainment projects.
'As we've previously discussed, our entertainment development pipeline is very strong and we're excited about the strength of our slate of opportunities to bring new content to market. We currently have seven development agreements in place and many more that are in the works, and to provide some context, last year at this time we had no meaningful development deals in place, reflecting our team's tremendous progress. That said, the development of premier entertainment content from idea to green light to delivery takes time. While we cannot predict the timing, we're optimistic about our potential entertainment projects and the partners we're working with, and we're confident that IDW has some of the most compelling characters and stories available. We look forward to bringing innovative new series, feature films and podcasts to market.'
