XM Satellite Radio Holdings said Thursday that fourth-quarter losses narrowed on revenue that more than doubled as its subscriber base grew.

The leader in the nascent pay-radio market, XM forecasts subscriber growth of about 71 percent this year and expects to reach cash flow break-even in 2006.

XM said it has more than 3.2 million subscribers, including a net 713,101 added in the fourth quarter.

The company posted a quarterly loss of $188.2 million, or 93 cents per share, compared with a loss of $162.9 million, or $1.12 a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose to $83.1 million, from $33.5 million, a year ago.

Analysts had expected a loss of 80 cents a share on revenue of $80.1 million, according to Reuters Estimates.

XM said its cost per gross addition, a measure of how much it spends to draw in new subscribers, was $100 in 2004, down from $137 in 2003.
