Advanstar's Q1 2006 Results
Advanstar has posted its Q1 2006 results, and shows strong year-over-year increases in revenues (+18%, to $106.6 million), net income (+145%, to $15 million) and EBITDA (+24%, to $39.3 million).
Primary drivers of the results:
The company's Fashion and Licensing segment (which includes the MAGIC show), increased revenues 18%, on the strength of the acquisitions of Project and POOL, as well as on increases in square footage, yield and sponsorships.
The Life Sciences group grew 7%, as the custom publishing segment bounced back (as promised) with a 104% increase over the same period last year.
The Powersports group also posted strong sales, up 14%
On the cost front, the company saw a 23% decrease in G&A costs.
What can I say? Joe Loggia's plans to focus the company on a few major markets and better align its cost and debt structure looks to be working just fine.
