SCOR COMSCORE, INC.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Comscore completed the sale of its Movies Business (box office measurement, reporting, analytics, and Hollywood Software) to an affiliate of Advaya Capital for a base purchase price of $70.0 million in cash, closed simultaneously with signing on May 27, 2026. Proceeds were used to repay the company's $40.1 million secured term loan under the Blue Torch Credit Agreement, which was terminated. The remaining net cash proceeds of approximately $57.8 million provide a significant deleveraging event, but the disposal removes a revenue-generating segment, resulting in a pro forma net loss deepening from $6.2M to $7.4M for Q1 2026 and from $10.0M to $20.8M for FY2025.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The sale removes ~11% of revenue and materially worsens the loss profile, but eliminates the secured debt overhang and provides ~$18M of net cash (pro forma cash $35.8M vs. $22.0M historical). Monitor the Q2 2026 10-Q for actual closing adjustments, the impact of transition service income ($2.0M estimated annually), and whether the remaining business can stabilize its core digital measurement operations without the Movies segment.

Financial Impact

Risk Factors
