PR Newswire

NEW YORK, July 28, 2022

Revenue in Second Quarter 2022 of $2.25 Billion; an Increase of 4% Year-Over-Year
Second Quarter 2022 Net Income of $292 Million; Diluted EPS of $0.07
Adjusted EBITDA of $679 Million
Year-to-Date Capital Returns to Stockholders of $1.6 Billion
SiriusXM Reiterates Full-Year Financial Guidance; Expects Positive Full-Year Self Pay Net Subscriber Additions

NEW YORK, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today announced second quarter 2022 operating and financial results, including revenue of $2.25 billion, an increase of 4% year over year. The company recorded net income of $292 million in the second quarter 2022 compared to $433 million in the prior year period. The prior year period benefited from $140 million of satellite insurance recoveries. Net income per diluted common share was $0.07 in the second quarter 2022 compared to $0.10 in the prior year period, or $0.08 excluding the satellite insurance recoveries recorded in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was $679 million in the second quarter of 2022, down 3% from the second quarter of 2021.

"We are pleased with our results in the second quarter, and while we continue to navigate an uncertain economic environment, we delivered strong financial performance and continued to make strategic investments in our business that will set us up for an exciting new era at SiriusXM," said Jennifer Witz, Chief Executive Officer of SiriusXM. "We remain committed to creating compelling experiences for our listeners by investing in innovative technologies to deliver best-in-class, curated, comprehensive audio entertainment. We remain equally committed to delivering consumers the best and widest choice in premium audio content. From launching pop-up channels celebrating Black Music Appreciation Month to acquiring Conan O'Brien's Team Coco to produce new content for our listeners, and most recently, expanding our relationship with the NFL to deliver the most extensive sports lineup in audio entertainment, we will continue to enhance our platform to ensure broad appeal."

"SiriusXM's churn was steady at approximately 1.5% in the quarter, underscoring the strength of our business, our products, and loyalty of our customers. In the second quarter, we delivered focused expansion in key streaming offerings and maintained a strong balance sheet," said Sean Sullivan, Executive Vice President, and Chief Financial Officer. "This quarter we returned over $300 million in capital to stockholders, comprising $217 million in common stock repurchases and $86 million in dividends, and ended the quarter with net debt to adjusted EBITDA of 3.6 times."

SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Sirius XM Holdings operates two complementary audio entertainment businesses — one of which we refer to as "SiriusXM" and the second of which we refer to as "Pandora and Off-Platform." Further information regarding these two segments will be contained in the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The financial and operating highlights below exclude the impact of share-based payment expense.

SiriusXM Financial Metrics and Key Highlights

Self-Pay Subscribers Remain at 32.0 Million
During the second quarter of 2022, SiriusXM self-pay subscribers increased by 23,000 and paid promotional subscribers increased by 54,000. Total subscribers were 34.0 million on June 30, 2022. The SiriusXM trial funnel stood at approximately 7.3 million at the end of the quarter, up from 6.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022. Self-pay monthly churn remained at approximately 1.5%.

SiriusXM Revenue Increased 5% to $1.7 Billion
Second quarter 2022 revenue grew 5% to $1.7 billion compared to the second quarter of 2021. This growth was driven by a $1.05 increase in average revenue per user (ARPU), up 7% year over year, resulting in a total ARPU of $15.62. Second quarter 2022 revenue also benefited from a 2% increase in SiriusXM self-pay subscribers, partially offset by the effects of a lower base of paid promotional subscribers.

Gross Profit Increased 6% to $1.1 Billion and Gross Margin Remained Stable
Total cost of services at SiriusXM increased by 3% to $668 million for the quarter compared to the corresponding quarter in 2021. Gross profit at SiriusXM totaled $1.1 billion, an increase of 6% compared to the 2021 period, producing a gross margin of 61%, consistent with the prior year period.

Expanded Content Offering
During the quarter, SiriusXM continued its efforts creating special programming recognizing Black artists with the launch of two exclusive channels during Black Music Appreciation Month in June, Whitney Houston and The Notorious B.I.G., and welcomed back The 2PAC Channel and The Prince Channel. The quarter also saw a continued focus on opportunities that leverage SiriusXM's full audio ecosystem, including the acquisition of Team Coco, which included the critically-acclaimed hit podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, and the Conan O'Brien-led podcast network and digital media business. As part of the deal, Conan will collaborate with SiriusXM to create and executive produce a new fulltime, original Team Coco comedy channel for SiriusXM subscribers expected to launch this fall. SiriusXM also reached a new agreement with the NFL, making the platform the exclusive third-party audio provider of every NFL game, along with expanded rights to bring subscribers team-focused content from NFL clubs.

Product Enhancements
In the second quarter, SiriusXM made improvements to the commerce experience on its existing SXM Apps on connected devices, including Amazon Fire, Android TV, LG, and Roku, and launched the SXM App on Comcast X1, Flex, and XClass TV platforms.

BMW vehicles equipped with SiriusXM 360L received a key feature update. BMW vehicles with 360L now include Pandora Stations, an in-car feature from SiriusXM that employs Pandora's listener personalization technology and gives BMW owners the ability to customize their own ad-free music channels in the car with more of what they want to hear.

Pandora and Off-Platform Financial Metrics and Key Highlights

Advertising Revenue Increased 5% to $403 Million
Second quarter 2022 ad revenue in the Pandora and Off-Platform segment increased by 5% year over year to $403 million. Off-platform advertising, including the company's podcast business, climbed 50% year over year to nearly $119 million in the second quarter of 2022. Ad revenue maintained monetization of approximately $100 per thousand hours at Pandora, remaining roughly flat compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Total Advertising-Supported Listener Hours of 2.84 Billion
Monthly Active Users (MAUs) at Pandora were 50.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, down from 55.1 million in the prior year period. Total ad-supported listener hours were 2.84 billion in the second quarter of 2022, down from 3.03 billion in the 2021 period. Average monthly hours per ad-supported user climbed 3% to 21.1 in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 20.4 in the second quarter of 2021.

Self-Pay Subscribers Decreased Modestly
Self-pay subscribers to the Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium services decreased modestly in the second quarter of 2022 to end the period at 6.3 million.

Gross Profit Falls
Subscriber revenue decreased by 2%, advertising revenue increased by 5% and total cost of services increased by 14% during the second quarter of 2022 driven by investments in new podcast content. This resulted in gross profit in the Pandora and Off-platform segment of $167 million, a decrease of 13% compared to the corresponding 2021 period, and produced a gross margin for the quarter of 31%, down 6 percentage points from the prior year period.

Content Engagement
Pandora saw increases in time spent listening by active users, driven by a continued focus on improving personalization and expanding its rich content offering. The quarter saw launches of several new Pandora stations, including Country Grit, one of Pandora's most-listened genres (country music); Pan-Asian United, a new channel showcasing a range of genres from Asian-American and Pacific Islander artists; and Prom Night, the platform's largest suite of stations to date, all in celebration of the 2022 prom season. Additionally, in honor of Black Music Appreciation Month in June, Pandora's Black Music Forever Radio launched five new modes representing five decades of the evolution of dance influenced by black culture.

Podcast Growth and Expanded Ad Representation
SXM Media, the company's combined advertising sales organization, continues to be a dominant force in podcast ad sales, ranking as the #1 podcast advertising network in weekly U.S. listener reach, according to Edison Research. SXM Media currently represents four of the top 15 podcasts in the country, including "Crime Junkies," "Office Ladies," "Dateline NBC," and "Pod Save America."

As part of the previously mentioned acquisition of Team Coco, SiriusXM expanded its exclusive global ad representation beyond Team Coco's acclaimed podcasts to also include digital video, social media, and live events associated with Team Coco's properties. During the quarter, the company also signed new agreements with multi-platform internet star Lyle Forever, which includes his hit podcast Therapy Gecko and Critical Role, the D&D role-playing collective with millions of fans. These agreements secured the global advertising sales rights for SXM Media and continued to expand the company's off-platform business, and solidified SXM Media as a leader in the sales of audio advertising for podcasts.

ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Subscriber acquisition costs increased by 2% to $91 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period, driven by higher equipment installations by automakers. Sales and marketing costs increased by 20% to $272 million in 2022 compared to the prior year, boosted by increased performance marketing efforts and the continuation of a multi-media national ad campaign promoting SiriusXM, which launched late 2021. Engineering, design and development costs rose 7% to $63 million, and general and administrative expenses decreased by 1% to $113 million in 2022.

Free cash flow was $435 million, down approximately 21% from the prior year period, as cash taxes rose by $97 million year over year and the second quarter of 2021 benefited from $17 million in satellite insurance receipts.

2022 GUIDANCE

The Company continues to anticipate positive full-year 2022 self-pay net subscriber additions and reiterates 2022 guidance for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow as follows:

Total revenue of approximately $9.0 billion,
Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.8 billion, and
Free cash flow of approximately $1.55 billion.

This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "believe," "intend," "plan," "projection," "outlook" or words of similar meaning. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: we have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by supply chain issues as a result of the global semiconductor supply shortage; we face substantial competition and that competition is likely to increase over time; if our efforts to attract and retain subscribers and listeners, or convert listeners into subscribers, are not successful, our business will be adversely affected; we engage in extensive marketing efforts and the continued effectiveness of those efforts is an important part of our business; we rely on third parties for the operation of our business, and the failure of third parties to perform could adversely affect our business; we may not realize the benefits of acquisitions and other strategic investments and initiatives; the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant uncertainty to our business; a substantial number of our Sirius XM service subscribers periodically cancel their subscriptions and we cannot predict how successful we will be at retaining customers; our ability to profitably attract and retain subscribers to our Sirius XM service as our marketing efforts reach more price-sensitive consumers is uncertain; our business depends in part on the auto industry; failure of our satellites would significantly damage our business; our Sirius XM service may experience harmful interference from wireless operations; our Pandora ad-supported business has suffered a substantial and consistent loss of monthly active users, which may adversely affect our Pandora business; our failure to convince advertisers of the benefits of our Pandora ad-supported service could harm our business; if we are unable to maintain revenue growth from our advertising products our results of operations will be adversely affected; changes in mobile operating systems and browsers may hinder our ability to sell advertising and market our services; if we fail to accurately predict and play music, comedy or other content that our Pandora listeners enjoy, we may fail to retain existing and attract new listeners; privacy and data security laws and regulations may hinder our ability to market our services, sell advertising and impose legal liabilities; consumer protection laws and our failure to comply with them could damage our business; failure to comply with FCC requirements could damage our business; if we fail to protect the security of personal information about our customers, we could be subject to costly government enforcement actions and private litigation and our reputation could suffer; interruption or failure of our information technology and communications systems could impair the delivery of our service and harm our business; the market for music rights is changing and is subject to significant uncertainties; our Pandora services depend upon maintaining complex licenses with copyright owners, and these licenses contain onerous terms; the rates we must pay for "mechanical rights" to use musical works on our Pandora service have increased substantially and these new rates may adversely affect our business; failure to protect our intellectual property or actions by third parties to enforce their intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business and operating results; some of our services and technologies may use "open source" software, which may restrict how we use or distribute our services or require that we release the source code subject to those licenses; rapid technological and industry changes and new entrants could adversely impact our services; we have a significant amount of indebtedness, and our debt contains certain covenants that restrict our operations; we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the NASDAQ listing rules and, as a result, qualify for, and rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements; while we currently pay a quarterly cash dividend to holders of our common stock, we may change our dividend policy at any time; our principal stockholder has significant influence, including over actions requiring stockholder approval, and its interests may differ from the interests of other holders of our common stock; if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business could be harmed; our facilities could be damaged by natural catastrophes or terrorist activities; the unfavorable outcome of pending or future litigation could have an adverse impact on our operations and financial condition; we may be exposed to liabilities that other entertainment service providers would not customarily be subject to; and our business and prospects depend on the strength of our brands. Additional factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and available at the SEC's Internet site (http://www.sec.gov). The information set forth herein speaks only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication.
