Smart-TV maker Vizio reported better-than-expected results for the first quarter but still saw total revenue slump 27% as consumers cut spending in a time of ongoing inflation and economic worries.
The company reported break-even results on the bottom line, which surpassed Wall Street analysts’ forecast for a loss of 2 cents a share, and revenue came in at $356.7 million.
Platform+, the company’s unit focused on streaming advertising, posted a 22% gain in revenue to $125.5 million. SmartCast, the company’s interface and another major gateway for ad buyers, now has 17.5 million active accounts, up 12% from the same quarter a year earlier.
Each account streamed 93 hours of programming per month in the quarter, up 5% over a year ago. “As you can see from our results, our advertising business continued to show strength in Q1,” CEO William Wang said. “Our results speak to the progress we’ve made in raising awareness of Vizio as a scaled destination for advertisers to reach viewers.” Similar to other streaming players like Samsung, Roku and Amazon, Vizio is benefiting from the boom in FAST and the overall, ongoing migration of linear viewing and advertising toward streaming.
