WWE Q4 Financials: PPV Revenue Up Due To Extra PPV

According to the WWE financials released today, here is how the company’s PPV performed in the quarter…

Pay-Per-View revenues were $15.7 million as compared to $13.0 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to the production of four pay-per-view events in the current quarter as compared to three in the prior year quarter. Revenue for the events held in both the current and prior year quarter increased 2% based on a comparable increase in pay-per-view buys. The average revenue per buy for these events was essentially unchanged from the prior year.

WWE Battleground (October): 114,000 buys, No PPV in 2012

WWE Hell in a Cell (October): 228,000 buys, up 29,000 from 2012
