MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 08/23/13 -- 360 VOX Corporation (TSX VENTURE: VOX) - 360 VOX Corporation ("360 VOX" or the "Company"), a global real estate company in the hospitality and asset management, real estate development and sales and marketing businesses, today reported second quarter results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 (all figures in U.S. dollars and presented under IFRS, except where otherwise indicated).
Q2 Highlights:
-- Revenue for the quarter of $23.4 million, up 46% from the previous
quarter;
-- Revenue growth from the previous quarters in hospitality and asset
management, real estate development, and sales and marketing of 4%, 27%
and 53%, respectively;
-- IFRS net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.2 million,
or $0.01 per share;
-- Income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the six
months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.38 million;
-- Cash used in operating activities was $0.35 million;
-- Cash balance of $8 million.
Q2 Results:
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $23.4 million, up 46% from $16 million in the first quarter and up by $22 million from the same quarter of fiscal 2012. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $39 million, an increase of $36 million from the same period in 2012. Increase in revenue from 2012 represents mostly the revenue from the acquired businesses of Sotheby's International Realty Canada announced in the latter part of 2012.
Cash increased in the quarter from the private placement of convertible debentures, announced earlier in the year, offset by the cash used to acquire the Company's operations division.
IFRS net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.2 million, or $0.01 per share. The IFRS net loss is the direct result of several non-cash adjustments required by IFRS, which includes significant amortization expense ($2.7 million) and certain fair value adjustments to the Company's derivative liability ($0.3 million). The IFRS net loss also includes non-recurring acquisition and due diligence related legal and consulting fees ($0.4 million). Without these adjustments, the adjusted net earnings(i) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 would have been $1.2 million or $0.005 per share.
"During the second quarter, we continued to focus our efforts on establishing our operations division, as announced in the middle of May, with the completion of the transaction to manage the Enchantment Resort, Mii amo and the Tides Inn," said Robin Conners, President and CEO of 360 VOX Corporation. "With the operations division in place, we are now in a position to offer a full set of services for the real estate life cycle of development, operations and sales & marketing."
