WWE reported Thursday official PPV buys and revenue totals for Third Quarter 2012. The revenue total was $16.3 million, as compared to $15.8 million in the prior-year quarter (3.1 percent increase), mainly due to the strength of Summerslam.
WWE reported that overall PPV buys were up 13 percent, mainly due to Summerslam drawing 358,000 buys; the smaller margin of 3 percent revenue growth was due to the timing of WrestleMania revenue from the prior quarter. Last year, WWE's third quarter was boosted by delayed recording of Mania-related revenue.
"Buys for (Summerslam) increased 21 percent from the prior year quarter, demonstrating its creative strength and audience appeal," WWE reported. "Offsetting this performance, buys for WrestleMania, a prior period event, declined 63,000 primarily due to timing. On a year-to-date basis, buys for this premiere event remained 8 percent above the prior year period."
