Espial continues to gain recognition in delivering advanced HTML5 user experiences on set-top boxes and Smart TVs. We are building this leadership position with our high performance HTML5 clients and intelligent cloud solutions, new partnerships and customer deployments. said Jaison Dolvane, CEO, Espial. Globally, the majority of the service providers and Smart TV manufacturers are looking to adopt intelligent cloud and HTML5 technologies as essential components in their next generation TV platforms. We are well positioned to capitalize on this trend. In Europe, we continue to experience lower expansion revenues from our current telecom operator customers due to the overall economy; however cable operators in that region are beginning to show positive signs of investing in next generation IP services.
Financial Summary
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported revenues of $2.3 million compared with revenues of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Earnings before interest, foreign exchange, taxes, stock compensation, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was a loss of $1.5 million compared with earnings of $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net loss for the quarter was $2.1 million or $0.15 per share, compared with a net loss of $0.3 millionlast year, or $0.02 per share.
Year over year, we experienced a significant decrease in our European revenue said Carl Smith, Chief Financial Officer. Our European revenue for this quarter decreased to $1.0 million from $2.4 million last year due primarily to slower roll-outs from existing customers. Our customers have indicated this is a temporary situation and is a result of constrained capital budgets due to the economy. Europenotwithstanding, we are seeing increased activity in North America and Asia. We are also seeing increased royalties from Smart TV shipments and expect this to continue to grow into 2014 .
