Management Commentary
As our results for the second quarter demonstrate, SeaChange's growth strategy focused on the video streaming and Ad Tech markets is gaining traction, said Executive Chairman Robert Pons. In particular, we are capitalizing on the explosive growth in streaming, which was exemplified by the 29% sequential revenue growth we delivered in Q2, along with robust gross profit margins and improved profitability. Our increasing financial momentum reveals the traction we're achieving on our key sales initiatives, including enhancing our product portfolio, securing new streaming customers, extending our footprint as a video Ad Tech provider, and driving more predictable growth. Today, SeaChange enables content owners and cable companies to deliver profitable TV and streaming services to more than 100 million subscribers across 35,000 linear channels and serving up over 100 million ads monthly.
Chris Klimmer, senior vice president of global sales and marketing at SeaChange, commented: SeaChange is well-positioned to capitalize on the intersection of the explosive growth in all things Ad Tech and streaming. Our enhanced product positioning and recent customer wins serve as proof points that we are poised to take advantage of the major trends within the broadcast industry. SeaChange has the technology assets and expertise to provide cable operators and streaming content owners globally with advanced advertising technology, and a turn-key managed services streaming enablement platform. We do this by helping them to unlock additional revenue streams, maximize the ROI of user and content acquisition costs and streamline operational costs while enhancing operational efficiencies.
Pons added: We have entered the third quarter with significant momentum and a robust pipeline of sales opportunities. We believe we are just starting to scratch the surface of streaming and Ad Tech opportunities. Longer term, we believe our continued execution on our strategic plan will drive scale, capture market share, and create even greater value for both our customers and shareholders.
