Toronto, September 6, 2023 – Music Royalties Inc. (“MRI”), a diversified portfolio owner of 27 iconic catalogs of songwriter, manager, producer and sound recording interests, is pleased to announce its participation at The MoneyShow at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre September 8-9, 2023.
MRI will be presenting on Friday, September 8, 2023, 1:40pm - 2:10 pm and on
Saturday, September 9, 2023, 11:15 am – 12:00 pm
An investment in Music Royalties’ intellectual property portfolio represents an exciting new alternative non-correlated passive income asset class which is exhibiting long term growth due to smartphone adoption, increasing paid subscriptions of music services (iTunes, Spotify, YouTube), and exploding streaming growth on new platforms (Amazon, Facebook, TikTok) which is delivering double digit income and growth in a recessionary low growth world.
“Most people are not aware that individual song revenues are shared or ‘owned’ by 5 to 15 people and that there are over 3 million rightsholders in North America collecting several billion dollars in passive income. The top songs, classic hits, or catalogs which have become part of pop culture or ‘humanity’s playlist’ exhibit multi-decade income stability and in fact are growing under the paradigm shift from the physical CD to global streaming as the iconic songs are being rediscovered, remixed, replayed and included on new platforms such as Amazon, Netflix and Tik Tok,” commented Tim Gallagher, CEO.
Music Royalties Inc. acquired its first catalog in 2018 and has paid out 43 dividends totalling over $6 million derived mostly from the streaming income of hit songs from numerous artist brands diversified by era and genre. MRI has more than tripled its 2019 dividend of $0.01 to $0.036 per share in 2023. Through ongoing accretive acquisitions of cash flow from rightsholders averaging 7-20% yields, MRI’s long-term goal is to continue to increase its dividend, in order to deliver both increased income and capital growth.
The recent high-profile sales of music publishing and songwriting rights, with Life of Author plus 70-year copyright protection of iconic artists, has raised the profile and the timeliness of this unique investment opportunity. The aging demographics of the founders of Rock and Roll combined with the re-invention and internationalization of the music business through technology - digitization, live streaming and the online social media business model - will lead to double digit industry growth over the next decade.
