Altice USA to Acquire Cheddar
Leading Digital-First News Company to Join the Altice USA News Group
Comprising News 12 Networks and i24NEWS
Combines Linear and Digital-First News Expertise; Enhances Altice
News Content, Distribution and Audience Reach
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Altice USA (NYSE: ATUS), one of the largest broadband communications and
video services providers in the United States, today announces that it
has reached an agreement to acquire Cheddar, the digital-first news
company, for $200 million. With this acquisition, Altice broadens its
portfolio of high-quality news businesses by adding Cheddar’s
innovative, digital-first, live business, general news and college
network focused on young professional and millennial audiences. The
transaction is expected to close in the next two months upon receipt of
regulatory approval.
The Cheddar networks are available in approximately 40 million pay tv
homes through MVPDs, all virtual MVPDs (YouTube TV, Sling, Hulu Live,
DIRECTV NOW, etc.), leading free tv systems (Pluto, Roku Channel, etc.),
and a campus network of 1,600 owned and operated screens on 600
campuses. Cheddar recently expanded distribution to millions of homes
through various cable systems, reaching carriage agreements with
Comcast, Charter and Altice USA. Cheddar is available on nearly all
over-the-top subscription pay tv services in the U.S., and has large
social distribution across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter,
LinkedIn, Snapchat and other platforms generating over 400 million video
views a month.
Strategic Highlights
Cheddar joins Altice USA News, complementing Altice’s hyperlocal and
global news offerings that include the most watched news channel in the
Optimum footprint News 12 Networks, and international and current
affairs news network i24NEWS. The combination of News 12 and i24NEWS’
expertise in linear content and distribution plus Cheddar’s expertise in
digital-first content and distribution provides several benefits:
-
With the acquisition of Cheddar, Altice’s full suite of news offerings
now covers hyperlocal, national, business and international content,
reaching broader and more diverse audiences on both digital and linear
formats. -
Cheddar brings a strong news team with an engaged young professional
and millennial audience, providing a significant opportunity to
advance Altice USA News from a content, distribution and audience
reach perspective, as well as creating more value for advertisers. -
Altice USA News currently partners with Cheddar on relevant
programming: News 12 airs on its seven stations in the NY tri-state
area the daily Cheddar Tech Report, and i24NEWS runs top stories from
Cheddar as part of its global news coverage. This combination will
provide more opportunities for collaborative and complementary
programming. -
Cheddar will continue to expand its fast-growing live advertising
products that currently serve large national brands and bring
additional scale and local targeting to these offerings via dynamic ad
insertion into News 12 and i24NEWS inventory. -
Cheddar anticipates developing and deploying additional advertising
products across the Altice footprint, namely on its advanced Altice
One and a4 advertising platform.
Cheddar Founder and CEO Jon Steinberg will join Altice USA to lead
Altice News, including Cheddar, News 12 and i24NEWS.
“Cheddar has demonstrated an innovative approach to live news while
building an engaged audience, solid followership and a strong brand,”
said Altice USA CEO Dexter Goei. “As one of Cheddar’s early investors,
we have enjoyed our partnership with Jon and admire the entrepreneurial
spirit, energy and smart disruptive mentality that he brings to the news
business. The Cheddar culture and mindset are the perfect fit for Altice
USA, and we’re excited to welcome Jon and the Cheddar team to the Altice
family. We look forward to seeing our growing news team continue to
deliver the best content for our viewers and more opportunities for our
advertisers.”
“Our goal is to make Altice News a leader in local, business, national,
and international news everywhere as we look to build a live news
offering for customers in the traditional pay TV ecosystem, as well as
those looking to a la carte alternative SVOD services, vMVPDs, and free
systems for their non-news entertainment,” said Steinberg. “The Altice
team and Altice Way are as entrepreneurial as it gets with amazing
markets, world-class local and international news, an amazing broadband
network, and a soon to launch mobile offering. I can’t wait for Cheddar
to begin working with Altice’s team.”
Background on Cheddar
Cheddar currently broadcasts 19 hours a day of live news through two
networks: Cheddar Business, a business news network covering the most
innovative executives, founders, products, and technologies transforming
our lives and economy; and Cheddar News, a fast-paced, young,
non-partisan general news and headline news network.
The company owns the CheddarU network of 1,600 screens in the public
spaces (gyms, cafeterias, student unions) of 600 college campuses.
Cheddar also owns and operated the site RateMyProfessors.com, where over
5 million students go to rate and review their professors each month.
Cheddar’s OTT viewership is most concentrated in ages 25 to 34, and its
campus network has the largest out of home reach of any 18 to
24-year-old network1.
This transaction does not materially impact Altice USA’s leverage ratio
and has no impact on its planned share repurchases for 2019. Altice USA
began its partnership with Cheddar in 2017 as an investor in the company.
LionTree Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to Cheddar, and
Cooley served as legal counsel to Cheddar.

SCHWAZZE
Schwazze Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Schwazze Management to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time
DENVER, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., operating as Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (Cboe CA: SHWZ) (“Schwazze” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
“We delivered another period of revenue growth in Q1 as we further refined our retail strategy while contending with the prolonged competitive challenges in Colorado and New Mexico,” said Forrest Hoffmaster, Interim CEO of Schwazze. “Throughout the quarter, we continued to sharpen our pricing and promotional efforts while enhancing the in-store experience, widening assortment, improving in-stock position, and advancing our loyalty program to attract and retain new customers. We also strengthened our wholesale business with quarter-over-quarter growth, while surpassing 30% total door penetration across both states.”
“The Colorado market remains highly competitive with more than 680 active recreational licenses, underscoring the importance of delivering an exceptional customer experience and fully integrated retail support program. Although retail pricing has recently stabilized, Colorado sales in Q1 were down 10% year-over-year due to lower volumes. Nonetheless, we significantly outpaced the market as our sales were up 9%, demonstrating the effectiveness of our operating playbook to compete in challenging environments. We expect to continue driving improvements in customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty as we further increase market share in the state.”
“In New Mexico, the proliferation of new licenses continued to outpace state cannabis sales as store count in Q1 increased 31% year-over-year while the market grew only 13%. In addition to pricing and promotional efforts, we’ve focused on driving traffic into our stores by expanding assortment with high quality flower and delivering an elevated customer experience. The New Mexico regulatory body has also increased its license enforcement efforts in recent months, contributing to more than 70 store closures and a 33% sequential decrease in net new store openings in the first quarter. We will continue to support the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division as it develops its regulatory framework.”
“Over the past four years we have rapidly scaled our footprint through 13 acquisitions, building a leading retail presence in both Colorado and New Mexico. We are beginning to see positive momentum from our pricing and promotional strategy and will remain focused on driving operating efficiencies while further optimizing our assets as we consolidate cultivation facilities and eliminate underperforming stores that do not meet our high-margin thresholds. We believe these initiatives, coupled with our operating playbook and strict cost controls, will enable us to return to stronger levels of profitability moving forward.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Total revenue in the first quarter of 2024 increased 4% to $41.6 million compared to $40.0 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to growth from new stores compared to the prior year period, partially offset by continued pricing pressure and the proliferation of new licenses in New Mexico.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $17.9 million or 43.1% of total revenue, compared to $21.8 million or 54.6% of total revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the aforementioned pricing pressure in New Mexico, as well as higher medical sales mix in Colorado.
____________________________ |
1 Q4 2023 Gross Profit includes one-time, non-cash inventory adjustments of approximately $13.1 million comprised of $3.1 million of product consolidation, obsolescence, and shrinkage expenses, $4.3 million of net realizable value adjustments, and $5.8 million of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory in New Mexico in 2023. |
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $20.6 million compared to $16.2 million for the same quarter last year. The year-ago period benefitted from a payroll tax credit of $3.9M. The remaining increase was primarily driven by personnel expenses and four-wall SG&A costs associated with 21 additional stores in Colorado and New Mexico that are still ramping.
Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2024 was $2.7 million compared to income from operations of $5.6 million in the same quarter last year. Net loss was $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $1.7 million for the same quarter last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.3 million compared to $14.5 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by lower gross margin and higher operating expenses associated with the 21 additional stores that are still ramping.
As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $13.2 million compared to $19.2 million on December 31, 2023. Total debt as of March 31, 2024, was $159.7 million compared to $156.8 million on December 31, 2023.
