CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 08/29/13 — GINSMS Inc. (TSX VENTURE: GOK) has announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2013.
PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013:
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the first quarter ending June 30, 2013 was $445,584, representing an increase of 183.7%, compared to $157,089 during the corresponding quarter the previous year. 260.3% of the increase is due to the inclusion for the first time of the revenue from Inphosoft in the consolidated statement of income as revenue from the Company-s IOSMS activities, taken separately, declined by 76.6%. The decline in the revenue generated from the IOSMS platform is due to the less favourable terms of the contracts signed with mobile network operators that came into effect on 1st March 2013 as well as a 76.7% drop in SMS traffic during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to the corresponding quarter the previous year.
Revenue from Inphosoft during that period aggregated $408,846 and is broken down as follow: Professional Services – $287,531 (70.3%), License fees – $6,681 (1.6%), and Support and Maintenance (S&M) -$114,634 (28.1%). Professional Services essentially represent contract work provided customers for an array of software services and solutions including software installation services, software customization services, or the design and development of bespoke software solutions for customers.
The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 amounted to $481,991, compared to a loss of $48,035 during the same quarter the previous year. The loss for the first quarter this fiscal year includes a non-cash charge to earnings of $290,549 representing accretion on obligations related to the convertible debentures and promissory notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Inphosoft.
EBITDA for the first quarter ended June 30, 2013 amounted to negative $79,852 while EBITDA for the corresponding period the previous year which showed a deficit of $22,544. These results underline a much improved gross profit picture with gross income increasing by 183.7% to $445,584, the result of substantially higher gross profit margins at Inphosoft which, on a fully consolidated basis, translate into a gross margin of 67.6%, compared to 55.0% during the corresponding quarter the previous year.
Other than lower revenue generated by the IOSMS platform, the loss of $481,991 reported during the period reflects higher operating expenses albeit more than offset, as mentioned above, by a much higher gross income. With Inphosoft, salaries and wages jumped by 376.7% to $187,450, professional fees are increased by 104.3% to $52,614, and general and administrative expenses are up 688.6% to $129,460. Consultancy fees incurred a slight increase of 14.5% to $31,395. The consolidation of Inphosoft also resulted in higher amortization charges which amounted to $107,425, compared to $26,381 for the corresponding quarter the previous year.
