GUELPH, ONTARIO, Apr 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Texada Software Inc. ("Texada") (TSX VENTURE: TXS), the premier provider
of equipment rental and mobile asset management software, announces today
its audited financial results for 2008.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company generated total
revenues of $4.28 Ml. and a net loss of $1.68 Ml. Adjusted EBITDA
(defined as income (loss) for the year adjusted for amortization,
accretion on convertible debt, interest expense, foreign exchange losses,
severance payments, stock based compensation expense, lease closure
expenses and gain on sale of asset) was a loss of $0.71 Ml. These results
compare to total revenues of $4.0 Ml., a net loss of $3.3 Ml. and an
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.41 Ml. for fiscal 2007.
Revenue for 2008 was 6.1% higher than revenue recorded for fiscal 2007.
The split between license and service revenue remained virtually
unchanged in 2008 compared to 2007. Gross profit in 2008 was consistent
with 2007 at $3.56 Ml. while operating expenses declined by more than
$0.70 Ml. resulting in an improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss of an equal
amount during 2008. A larger reduction in the expense for accretion on
convertible debentures and the gain on sale of a domain name in the year
resulted in a decline in non operating expenses of more than $0.90 Ml.,
resulting in a decline in the net loss for the year to $1.68 Ml. from
$3.3 Ml. in 2007.
The quarter ending December 31, 2008 saw Texada close a convertible
debenture financing which provided significant additional working capital
and make a number of changes to its senior management team, including the
appointment of Brian Spilak as President & Chief Executive Officer. As
the year came to a close, several important steps were taken to further
align the Company's cost structure to its revenue streams and the new
management team instituted a renewed focus on revitalizing relationships
with key customers. Coupled with these actions, a detailed review of the
Company's entire business model and processes was commenced late in the
quarter in order to properly position Texada for 2009.
"While the fourth quarter of 2008 may have been disappointing for Texada
from a financial results perspective", notes Brian Spilak, "we enter 2009
with a very healthy customer base, a strong slate of products and
services, exceptional partnerships and a Texada team with renewed focus
on Meeting and Exceeding our Customer's Expectations. It is with this
re-energized customer focus that we look forward to building momentum and
further extending our feature rich product set into a growing market
leadership position".
