I’m not much of a YouTube person, or TikTok, or social media in general, so perhaps I’m not the most qualified individual to comment on making videos. However, if I were inclined to post my opinions on the internet or try and give Joe Rogan a run for his money, there is a tool I would definitely be utilizing to make myself look as professional as possible. I would be using the Moovly Studio Video Editor brought to us by Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY). But before I continue, this is not an advertisement for Moovly’s products, it’s simply my introduction into the company I’m going to discuss today. Like I said, I’m not a curator of video content so you are stuck with my verbal commentary, although as I understand it, Moovly has a product that can turn this note into a form of video or powerpoint presentation.

Essentially, Moovly offers its users the most complete online video creation solution on the market. Combining an intuitive and easy-to-use video editor with millions of copyright free assets available in many different styles, and more advanced features such as text-to-speech, green screen recording, video automation solutions and white-labeling options. It could actually make a grumpy old guy like me look reasonably competent, at least until I started talking. Moovly is the leading provider of creative cloud-based tools to create compelling marketing, communications and training videos and video presentations. Clients include users from over 300 of the Fortune 500, small businesses, freelancers and Ivy League universities making intuitive, DIY, cost effective video-based content.

The reason for going on and on and on about the tools available at Moovly Media is to provide context for a deal that the Company signed last Wednesday that seems to have flown under the radar. Moovly announced that it has been selected, after a lengthy competitive process, as an exclusive partner to Lee Enterprises’ Simply Activ8 platform. The reason I say it appears to have flown under the radar is because the stock traded flat on both that Wednesday and Thursday on very low volume following the press release. It’s possible the market didn’t grasp the magnitude of this announcement so let me try and shed a little more light on why I think people should be paying attention to this deal. Lee Enterprises (NASDAQ: LEE) is a major subscription and advertising platform and a leading provider of local news and information. With Lee’s Enterprises’ daily newspapers, rapidly growing digital products and over 350 weekly and specialty publications serving 77 markets in 26 states. Year to date, Lee’s newspapers have an average daily circulation of 1.2 million, and legacy websites, including acquisitions, reach more than 56 million digital unique visitors.

The Simply Activ8 platform developed by Lee Enterprises has embedded the Moovly video automation platform to offer its clients a powerful business marketing video-making tool, fully integrated and branded. The solution enables businesses to create advertisements and other marketing videos in a simple, cost-effective way, and in doing so brings additional revenue and client stickiness to the platform. James Green, Vice President/Digital at Lee Enterprises stated, “Video is a powerful tool in advertising. Our partnership with Moovly makes that tool affordable and accessible for small to medium businesses.” For Moovly it’s an excellent example of allowing other companies to capitalize on the world-class platform they have built by integrating it into their own product offering. I view this as potentially a very high margin deal for Moovly as they’re simply distributing an existing product to a much larger user base and will be collecting fees from it.

Moovly had a market cap of just under $18 million as of yesterday’s close. So you can imagine how a deal like this can impact the Company once the revenue from this transaction starts flowing through to Moovly. I expect that Q3 results will be out shortly, which should be a pretty interesting read given the recent corporate update detailing unprecedented growth. Perhaps as transactions like the Lee Enterprises deal start flowing through into the revenue column Moovly Media will no longer be flying under the radar.

The efficient-market hypothesis in financial economics states that asset prices reflect all available information. This implies that it is impossible to “beat the market” consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information. While this may hold some truth on a macro level, many people (including me) believe if you do your homework on less popular, less liquid stocks you can find some hidden gems out there. Now don’t jump to the conclusion that I’m about to serve up the hottest stock tip of the year. It’s the stock market after all, I could be right and wrong at the same time about the same stock given that if there aren’t enough buyers out there, an equity likely won’t go up in price regardless of underlying fundamentals or new information.

Today is more of an examination of the price action of a specific equity and its relative performance over the last six months given the information that has come available over that time and whether or not that seems to make sense. The stock under the microscope is Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY), the leading provider of creative cloud-based tools to create compelling marketing, communications and training videos and video presentations. Their clients including users from over 300 of the Fortune 500, small businesses, freelancers and Ivy League universities. Moovly is an intuitive, cost-effective choice for DIY creation of engaging video-based content. It’s a pretty cool technology company but today’s focus isn’t as much about what they do but what happens after they announce something.

Looking back six months ago to January 29th of this year, Moovly’s share price closed the day at $0.315. News that paid Education subscriptions grew more than 300% year over year on February 9th helped push the stock up to a high of $0.455 that day with momentum carrying through until the next news release on February 17th where it rallied to an intraday high of $1.02 on the heels of news that they had signed a reseller partnership agreement with VidiBuzz to accelerate its sales in the US. Makes sense, two pieces of new information for the market that were taken positively given revenue should be up considerably and the partnership essentially expanded the company salesforce and accessibility to new customer sets. Both news items were impactful in their own right and arguably should put the company in a better place than it was at the end of January. Perhaps a triple of the stock price might have been a little overdone so it wouldn’t be unusual to see the stock settle back into a more reasonable trading range.

And that’s exactly what happened as the stock traded in a range of $0.60 to $0.80 through to the end of March. During that stretch of time, the company released its quarterly results for the period ending December 31, 2020, plus integrations of its software with Wistia, Microsoft, Twitter and Instagram. All of which the market appeared to view with passive indifference even though one can argue the quarterlies confirmed the Company was moving in the right direction and all the integrations further expanded the ability to seamlessly access a larger user base. As well, the Company raised $3.8 million at $0.45 which could potentially cause a bit of selling pressure on the stock but provided capital to fund sales and marketing growth.

However, April Fool’s Day proved to be no laughing matter for the share price of Moovly as the stock begin a steady journey lower moving from $0.61 to a low of $0.155 by June 17th. But here’s where the story gets interesting to me. On May 5th The Company announced it had upgraded its platform to support multiple languages, improving translation efficiency and overcoming multilingual challenges. I view this as a step-change in making Moovly’s video software available to a much broader, global audience. But what do I know? The stock price was down 8% the day of this news. On June 23rd another reseller and partnership agreement was signed with UAE based SFA Dubai. At least that news rallied the stock a material 35% but only back to $0.25 and was relatively short lived. Then July 7th one of Moovly’s partners, Contenthouse announced it had secured Dipl. Ing. Fust AG’s content creation contract using the Moovly platform. This dragged the stock price back up to a high of $0.28 but again only briefly.

Despite all this information, it’s true that the overall market can also have an impact on an equity as well. It’s tough for an individual stock to have a prolonged rally in a bearish environment. However, if we look at the TSX Composite over this same time frame we see a February 18th close of 18,274 versus 20,230 yesterday, or a 9.7% gain over that period. Arguably a stock simply holding its own should at least be flat to positive over that time in light of the underlying market.

So I will now leave it up to you to decide if the market is correct now about Moovly at yesterday’s close of $0.21 (down 33% since Jan 29th), was it right in February or March or perhaps somewhere in between. Regardless, in my opinion, somewhere along the way the market stopped acting efficiently with this stock. I suspect the next quarterly results will help us all decide what the right answer is.

Moovly has struck a chord with large enterprise customers seeking to integrate a feature-rich video creation system into existing platforms

Toronto, April 23, 2021 — Peter Clausi with InvestorIntel.com, a leading online source of investor information, interviews Chris Thompson, President of eResearch Corp., the independent source of equity research, about his latest analyst report on Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY).

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), Peter has Chris discussing his price target for Moovly, the catalysts behind the stock’s continued growth and why he thinks you should consider becoming a shareholder. Chris evaluates the company using revenue projections and a discounted cash flow with Moovly’s focus on larger Enterprise Customers and its steady stream of partnership news to validate his position.

Chris starts when Peter asks why the stock has performed so well this last quarter, “the product itself has grown; it’s got now 3.7 million users who are using the Application. It also has got some great partnerships and I think that just the momentum of those announcements and those deals have helped investors become more aware of the company — it must be driving revenue upwards as well.”

He adds: “They do have a good e-commerce base that’s out there growing steadily month on month, but they had a bit of a boost with the COVID stay at home (audience) where people wanted to make videos. Moovly focuses on (offering) a feature-rich platform for video creation and so it really sort of keyed in for people staying at home and wanting to create videos from home. “

“But I think more and more it’s the enterprise customers who are coming in who are using some of their features like their API to integrate into their own products — as they also have an automation tool that allows you to customize videos very quickly… those types of features have really sort of struck a chord with the larger enterprise clients who are looking for a partner on the video creation platform.”

It’s a fact – video’s momentum remains strong in 2020 with over 90% of marketers saying it is an important part of their strategy and now, over 80% of the internet traffic is video.

More importantly for marketers, studies show that viewers retain over 90% of a message when they watch it in a video compared to less than 20% when reading it in text, video remains a key tool for marketing messages and content distribution.

So with mountains of PowerPoint presentations sitting on digital drives with valuable content hidden away, imagine if you could point, click and have your content reborn as video?

On October 22, Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY)  announced the addition of a new PowerPoint conversion wizard to its popular video creation and distribution tool, available free to try at moovly.com.

Moovly is an online video creation tool that is as simple to use as PowerPoint. You do not need to be a professional video editor to create videos in Moovly. Its drag-and-drop interface is easy to use and it is cloud-based so there is no software to install on your computer or tablet.

Repurposing Older Digital Assets

Previously, repurposing older digital assets into video required the use of a video editor and hours of time. Moovly’s new PowerPoint import tool has made it easier to upload and automate the conversion of PowerPoint presentations into new engaging video content.

Moovly CTO Geert Coppens commented, “Moovly’s ability to easily convert PowerPoints to video is a major leap forward and particularly important for our growing number of education and corporate clients, who need to create or migrate their many PowerPoint-based courses or presentations to a new, more engaging video format without the cost and hassle of recreating them from scratch in video format.”

Moovly’s new “Import PowerPoint” wizard uploads an existing PowerPoint presentation and converts it into a Moovly project video with every slide turned into a separate video clip. Once imported, the video can be edited and enhanced from Moovly’s content library that contains millions of images, sounds, and video clips from partnerships with Getty Images and Storyblocks.

I imported my 14-slide corporate presentation and the Moovly wizard uploaded, analyzed, processed, and converted it into a video in less than 2 minutes.

Key Feature for Education and Corporate Clients

The new feature should help Moovly as it continues to add education and corporate clients who want to easily migrate their PowerPoint presentations into marketing videos, courses or other online content.

Earlier this year, Moovly integrated its publishing feature with Facebook, Vimeo, and YouTube whereby users can publish their videos to those platforms with a single click of a button.

With the current COVID-19 pandemic affecting people’s abilities to congregate, more people are relying on video to communicate and this had led to an increase in the need for tools like Moovly to create and distribute content.

With more than 3 million users, including users from over 300 of the Fortune 500 companies, Moovly’s clients include Google, Bloomberg, IBM, KPMG, Procter & Gamble, Disney, and Oracle.

Could Moovly be the next Adobe?

“We have certainly seen growth as people work and learn from home and that has increased our user base and our subscription base as well. Increasingly we are seeing large corporations that froze their budgets at the start of corona are now looking to come back and still need to produce a lot of content. They need to get their economies and their companies back onto level, but they have restricted budgets and abilities. So, with the tools like ourselves they don’t have to restrict the amount of content they create. They can produce even more content on a lower budget and hence achieve their stretched goals will less means.” States Brendon Grunewald, President, CEO and Director of Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

Brendon went on to provide an update on Moovly’s Google integration with G Suite, which now allows for Moovly-created content to be uploaded both seamlessly and faster. He said that users can now move contents from Google Drive directly to Moovly and after they have edited the video they can publish the content on YouTube with the single click of a button. Brendon continued, “We pride ourselves in building what we believe to be the best product and that is obviously being validated by a number of customers out there.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people work, learn, and the way they communicate. The physical meetings have just evaporated. We need tools that we can communicate effectively with and video is a great way to communicate. If a picture is worth a thousand word, then a video is worth a million.” States Brendon Grunewald, President, CEO and Director of Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

Brendon went on to say that there is an increased awareness among people and companies, both big and small, about Moovly Media. He added that even existing customers are extending their contracts which means that Moovly is delivering great value to its customers.

Brendon also spoke on the competitive advantages of Moovly Media over its competitors. He said, “We democratize the access or ability to make really high-end quality content. We strive to always to make it very simple to use but at the same time offer a wide variety of different solutions. It you are someone who just wants to make a quick social media video you can do that within seconds using our templates. If you are an experienced videographer then you can use some of our advanced features like green screening and screen recordings. We have also got automated subtitling. That brings me to the second USP which I would say is our automator. Increasingly we are seeing companies want to make vast volume of content using programs or spreadsheets where they import data and mass personalize and customize videos. Thirdly we have an exceptionally good price offering which makes us very competitive in the market in terms of value for money.”

“Traditionally companies, large and small, had to go to agencies and were charged a lot of money to make video content because they didn’t have skills in-house or they didn’t have the ability to pay for that. We have democratized that through the use of technology and licensed digital assets from other companies and produced a tool that allows anyone who can drive a mouse or man a keyboard to be able to make rich multimedia content.” States Brendon Grunewald, Co-founder and CEO of Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

Brendon went on to say that Moovly allows people to make a video to either promote or explain their product, company or service in a very simple and easy way by using the native editor or templates which are prebuilt in the platform. He said that the company was able to secure the Amadeus IT Group contract after a competitive evaluation process. Moovly has three million users and has already become revenue positive and expects to become cashflow positive in 2020.
