The Company is pleased to announce its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013:
(1) Revenues – Recurring Monitoring and Response includes Alarm Response along with Digital, Wireless and Video Monitoring services
(2) Adjusted EBITDA = Net income (loss) + Income tax + Depreciation / amortization + Shared based payments expense
Co-CEOs George Rossolatos and Emmanuel Mounouchos announced Avante Logixx Inc.-s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company reported strong results driven by growth across all lines of business.
Net income for the quarter was $308,511 as compared to $15,280 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $318,692 (September 30, 2012: $33,236). The Company continues to focus on organic growth in the Rapid Alarm Response, Security Monitoring and Installations segments, while developing new security solutions for residential and corporate customers. This was evidenced by a 10% growth in the number of customers who subscribed to Alarm Response and Monitoring respectively. Overall growth in recurring security revenue remains strong and steady.
The Avante Intelligent Perimeter Protection (“AIPP”), a recent offering, comprises both Intrusion Detection and Intelligent Video Analytics, using sophisticated software algorithms to study the environment the camera is focused on. When the camera detects an intrusion by an individual, the Avante Control Centre is instantly notified. Avante-s response team acts on these alerts immediately, typically arriving at the scene within six minutes or less on average. The AIPP creates a perimeter -bubble- around homes and businesses, detecting intruders before a break-in attempt occurs. The number of customers using this solution has tripled as compared to September 30, 2012.
International Security Travel Advisory Services (“ISTAS”) is another recent offering by Avante. The Company is working with several multinational companies in ensuring that their travelling employees have appropriate protection, transportation services and logistics while travelling to higher risk environments. ISTAS has shown significant growth in the past year. Revenues from this offering were almost twice as much as the quarter ended September 30, 2012. ISTAS revenue depends on the international activities of our clients during the period and is not recurring in nature.
Avante-s prospects for the remainder of fiscal 2014 continue to be positive. The company-s cash balance rose to over $1.4 million at September 30, 2013 with no debt. Management believes that there are significant opportunities for organic growth or for the Company to consolidate and further improve its market share, which would result in increased profitability.
