Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2008 Second Quarter Results
- Revenue Growth and Adjusted EBITDA Margin Increase Continues, Driven by Virtual Print Fees and Leveraging Customer Relationships -
MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. ("AccessIT" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AIXD) reported a 95% increase in revenues, to a record $19.5 million for the fiscal 2008 second quarter ended September 30, 2007, versus the year-ago period. In the quarter, the Company posted an Adjusted EBITDA(1) (defined below) of $6.9 million or $0.27 per basic and diluted share, and a net loss of $9.3 million or $0.37 per basic and diluted share. The net loss includes non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, non-cash interest, debt refinancing and stock-based compensation aggregating $10.4 million or $0.41 per basic and diluted share.
Second Fiscal Quarter Highlights -- Revenues for the second quarter increased by 95%, to $19.5 million from $10 million and for the six months ended September 30th increased 142% to $37.6 million from $15.5 million in the comparable year ago periods respectively. These increases were driven largely by Virtual Print Fee ("VPF") revenues, delivery fees, software license fees for our Theatre Command Center(TM) software and contributions from our Advertising and Creative Services Division (ACS) and The Bigger Picture, our alternative content distribution division. -- The increases in Adjusted EBITDA(1), year-to-date to $13 million from $534 thousand and in the second quarter to $6.9 million from $752 thousand in the comparable year ago periods respectively, were primarily due to the increased revenues as described above, partially offset by increased operating and SG&A expenses resulting from the acquisitions of ACS and The Bigger Picture. -- Loss From Operations in the September 2007 quarter decreased to $1.3 million from a loss of $5.3 million 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 ACS and The Bigger Picture. Non- cash charges included in loss from operations for the year aggregated $18.9 million. -- Gross Margin (revenue less direct operating expenses) continues to be over 60% in this second quarter. -- Adjusted EBITDA(1) margins improved from 8% in the prior year's second quarter, and from 34% in our recently completed first quarter, to 35% in this quarter. -- As of September 30, 2007, the Company had installed 3,259 digital cinema systems. -- Growth of the Company's satellite network to 170 sites in 40 states helped to drive 26% growth in second quarter delivery revenues versus the previous quarter despite digital screen count increase on average of 15.6% in the same period. Bud Mayo, Chief Executive Officer of AccessIT, stated, "the second quarter and most recent weeks have marked an inflection point for AccessIT. We've successfully completed our Phase One digital cinema deployment plan and are gearing up to provide another 10,000 screens to exhibitors in the coming three years. In addition to the expected ramp of revenues from our recently installed screens in our next two quarters, revenue opportunities in three of our four other divisions are also being realized and The Bigger Picture is gearing up to provide a consistent flow of content beginning in the last quarter of our Fiscal year."
