IDW Media Holdings is continuing to downsize, with its Co-Publisher no longer with the company, after another big quarterly loss in its fiscal Q2 ended April 30. The company lost $901,000 in the quarter, a big improvement from the $1.9 million loss in the year ago quarter, but still a hefty amount.
IDW Media Holdings 在截至 4 月 30 日的第二财季再次出现重大季度亏损后，其联合出版商不再与公司合作，该公司正在继续缩小规模。 该公司在本季度亏损了 901,000 美元，与去年同期的 190 万美元亏损相比有了很大改善，但仍然是一笔不小的数额。

Sales were up 4% to $5.7 million for the quarter, with increases in direct market revenue (Turtles comics), DTC sales, and increased Retail Exclusive orders offsetting increases in book returns and discounts and declines in book market sales and digital revenue.
本季度销售额增长 4% 至 570 万美元，直接市场收入（Turtles 漫画）、DTC 销售额和零售独家订单的增加抵消了图书退货和折扣的增加以及图书市场销售和数字收入的下降。

There were profitability improvements in both of the company’s segments, with the Entertainment segment operating losses declining from $473,000 in Q2 2023 to $80,000 in Q2 2024 (on negligible sales of $95,000), and operating losses in the Publishing segment declining to $813,000 from $1.455 million in Q2 2023. Savings are coming from expense reductions, which continue.
公司两个部门的盈利能力都有所改善，娱乐部门的经营亏损从 2023 年第二季度的 473,000 美元下降到 2024 年第二季度的 80,000 美元（销售额为 95,000 美元），出版部门的经营亏损从 2023 年第二季度的 145.5 万美元下降到 813,000 美元。 节省的费用来自费用削减，而且这种削减仍在继续
