Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2008 First Quarter Results
- Revenue Growth and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Increase Continues, Driven by New and Existing Product and Service Offerings -
MORRISTOWN, N.J., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. ("AccessIT" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AIXD) reported a 225% increase in revenues, to a record $18,146,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 ended June 30, 2007, versus the year-ago period. In the quarter, the Company posted an Adjusted EBITDA(1) (defined below) of $6,102,000, and a net loss of $6,843,000 or $0.28 per basic and diluted share. The net loss includes non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and software development, non-cash interest and stock based compensation aggregating $8,497,000 or $0.34 per basic and diluted share.
First Fiscal Quarter Highlights -- Revenues for the first quarter increased by 225%, to $18,146,000 from $5,576,000 in the comparable year ago period driven largely by VPF revenues, delivery fees, software license fees for our Theatre Command Centre(TM) software and contributions from our acquisitions of UniqueScreen Media and The Bigger Picture. -- The increase in Adjusted EBITDA(1) was primarily due to the increased revenues as described above, partially offset by increased operating and SG&A expenses resulting from the acquisitions of USM and The Bigger Picture. -- Loss From Operations in the June 2007 quarter decreased to $1,309,000, from a loss of $2,417,000 in the year ago period. The decreased loss was due primarily to higher revenues partially offset by increased depreciation and additional amortization of intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of UniqueScreen Media and The Bigger Picture. Non-cash charges included in loss from operations for the year aggregated $7,411,000. -- Gross Margin (revenue less direct operating expenses) increased from 60% in our recently completed fourth quarter to 66% in this first quarter. -- Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins improved from negative 4% in the prior year's first quarter, and from 19% in our recently completed fourth quarter, to 34% in this quarter. -- As of June 30, 2007, the Company had installed 2,692 digital cinema systems and 2,851 as of July 31, 2007 and intends to complete 4,000 digital cinema systems installations by October 31, 2007.
Bud Mayo, Chief Executive Officer of AccessIT, stated, "the first quarter outcome shows our increased focus on internal growth and bottom-line improvements. The continued success of our digital cinema deployment is helping to feed the growth of our four other divisions. We anticipate that increases in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA margins along with decreases in Loss from operations will continue throughout this Fiscal year."
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income (expense), net, stock-based compensation and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business activities. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") net income is included in the table attached to this release. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of cash flow typically used by many investors, but is not a measure of earnings as defined under GAAP, and may be defined differently by others.
