WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
92%Advertising
AdvertisingProduct and Service Other 8%
92% of all revenue comes from a single line: Advertising.

That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.

Revenue last year:
$924.7M
The loss that same year:
$108.2M
For every $1 it earns, the company spends $1.1.

The company closed last year at a loss: costs ran above sales. The picture changes only if spending is reined in.

THE SALES TREND
Sales are growing overall, with a pause along the way.

Average growth of 9% a year over the last 4 years. Red columns mark years that ended in a loss.

At this pace, that money lasts about 9.8 years.

At this burn rate the cash pile isn’t the pressing question — for now, time is on the company’s side.

FINALE · THE GRADE
grade pending

We don’t have a report card for this stock yet — the data isn’t mature enough to grade. No grade is information too: it means the evidence is thin.

One-line summary: few numbers, an untested story. Keep watching.
