FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: MITQ), (“MiT”), a leading technology and services company for cinema, Esports, stadiums, arenas and other out-of-home entertainment venues, today announced results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Phil Rafnson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MiT commented:
“Our first fiscal quarter delivered promising results, underscoring a positive shift in the industry. The combined impact of a robust summer box office and a critical technology upgrade cycle has provided theaters with the confidence to start releasing budgets to invest in premium technologies. We successfully fulfilled orders for high-end solutions including immersive audio systems, laser projection upgrades and our own proprietary products, reinforcing our commitment to excellence.
"With the strikes now behind us, the industry demonstrated remarkable resilience propelled by a strong domestic box office performance this summer. As we move into the holiday season, momentum is clearly building. Major players like AMC, Regal and Cinemark are reporting solid gains. AMC has experienced increased attendance, especially for major releases, and Cinemark’s third-quarter results surpassed expectations as audiences enthusiastically embrace both premium experiences and traditional moviegoing.
"This resurgence aligns seamlessly with our premium offerings such as immersive sound systems and advanced laser projection upgrades, which are increasingly in demand as customers seek to enhance the theater experience. We are energized by this reinvigorated interest and remain committed to supporting the industry’s growth with innovative high-quality solutions.”
Fiscal 2025 Commentary
“We are optimistic that the industry’s strong box office momentum will extend through the holiday season and transition into an exciting lineup of releases for 2025. While our fiscal Q2 is typically slower due to the holiday season, the current industry climate presents a unique opportunity for favorable year-over-year comparisons due to last year’s setbacks related to the Hollywood strikes. Despite this improved environment, we still have not made back all the ground lost from the post-Covid recovery that was occurring prior to the strikes. However, the industry is re-gaining momentum, and we expect our customers to allocate more of their refreshed budgets in the second half of our fiscal year, which aligns with the first half of calendar 2025.
"In parallel, we are advancing our internal growth initiatives across the cinema and out-of-home entertainment markets, all aimed at driving revenue growth and margin expansion with the majority introducing recurring revenue streams. As we make progress on these initiatives, we look forward to keeping our investors updated on these initiatives and the value they bring.”
