Dotdash Meredith Sees Lower Q2 Revenue-And Reduced Loss (mediapost.com)

Dotdash Meredith posted a 15% decline in Q2 2023 revenue YoY to $414 million. But a $17.8 million operating loss reflected a 35% improvement over the prior year.

Digital revenue fell by 10% YoY to $212 million. Print declined by 21% to $206.8 million, driven by a circulation falloffs for some publications.

“Stability in traffic helped, as did passing the toughest of last year’s advertising comparables,” says Joey Levin, CEO of parent IAC.

Levin continues, “While we can’t count on any aggregate recovery in the ad market, we do expect Dotdash Meredith to benefit from D/Cipher adoption, Performance Marketing strength, and more ad performance optimization on the former Meredith sites.”

GreenFirst Announces Plan to Spin-Out Kap Corporation

GreenFirst Forest Products Inc. announces that it intends to complete a spin-out transaction of Kap Corporation, whereby the shares of Kap will be held directly by the shareholders of the Company. The Spin-out is expected to be completed in Q4 2024. GreenFirst will hold a shareholder meeting on September 12, 2024, where shareholders will be able to vote on the Spin-out. The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be August 8, 2024. The Spin-out of Kap is part of the natural progression of the decentralization and deconsolidation of the newsprint mill that was originally disclosed by GreenFirst in the Fall of 2023. The Spin-out will enable GreenFirst to focus on its core business of being a pure-play lumber producer, offering shareholders a stake in any future upside from the development of Kap. Under the new structure, Kap will be able to explore numerous possibilities that were not feasible under the original GreenFirst ownership structure. As a separate company, Kap will consider independent financing alternatives and partnerships in the future. Kap Paper Inc. is the only chip consuming facility in Northeastern Ontario and the Spin-out provides Kap Paper with the potential to pursue new opportunities to support the green economy as part of a broader Northern Ontario forest strategy.
