Analysis · BMTM · Technology
Bright Mountain Media's Q2 results show a 22% improvement in net loss to $3.2 million on revenue of $13.6 million, down 12% year-over-year. The company continues to burn cash, with only $1.0 million on hand against $115.3 million in current liabilities, including an $87.8 million note payable to Centre Lane due within the year. While cost-cutting has reduced losses, the going concern risk remains acute given the massive debt overhang and negative equity of $81.1 million. The slight operational improvement does not materially change the distressed financial picture.
