Titan Logix Corp. Reports Fiscal 2016 Second Quarter Financial Results

EDMONTON, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 04/28/16 — Titan Logix Corp., (TSX VENTURE: TLA) (“Titan” or the “Company”), a high technology company specializing in advanced technology fluid management announces its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal 2016, ended February 29, 2016.

“These are tough times for all people and companies caught in the crude oil market collapse, especially so our staff here in Edmonton,” said CEO, Douglas Carruthers. “Titan–s team of dedicated and experienced professionals coupled with its excellent product quality and service reputation is a solid foundation from which to build. I have initiated a complete review of Titan–s strengths and weaknesses, its products and its business opportunities with the objective of creating a mid to long-term strategy for expansion and shareholder value creation” continued Mr. Carruthers. “We are also fully engaged in an expanding third party product assessment alongside new product and market releases.”

Summary of Sales Revenue and Net Earnings (Loss)

Titan Logix Corp.–s revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 ended February 29, 2016 totaled $945,112, a decrease of $3,004,779 or 76% from revenue of $3,949,891 in the previous year–s second quarter. Titan–s revenue outside of Canada, primarily to the U.S., was $539,934 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 77% from revenue of $2,361,455 in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Revenue in Canada for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $405,178, a decrease of 74% from revenue of $1,588,436 in fiscal 2015–s second quarter. This overall decrease was marginally offset 2% by the benefit of the strengthened U.S. dollar compared to fiscal 2015–s second quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2016 ended February 29, 2016, sales were $2,522,899, down by $6,472,237 or 72% from sales of $8,995,136 in the first six months of fiscal 2015. The substantial decline in revenues, for both the quarter and first six month of fiscal 2016 are attributable to the significant slowdown in crude oil trailer manufacturing due to the decline in the price of oil.

The net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $658,805 ($0.03 loss per diluted share) compared to net earnings of $1,004,334 ($0.04 per diluted share) for fiscal 2015. Net loss and comprehensive loss in fiscal 2016–s first six months was $1,009,660 ($0.04 loss per diluted share) after tax compared to earnings of $2,118,262 ($0.08 per diluted share) after tax reported for the first six months of fiscal 2015.This decrease is tied to the decrease in revenue and related gross profit as well as lower gains on foreign exchange.

Summary of Operating Expenses

Total expenses excluding the gain on foreign exchange were $2,406,949 for the first six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $2,438,965 in the previous year. Engineering costs reflect an increase due to lower capitalized product development costs primarily as a result of the engineering team–s increased involvement in preparing for the introduction of new third party products into Titan–s solution suite. Therefore reduced time was spent on new capitalizable product development.

Financial Position

At February 29, 2016 working capital was $16,167,517 compared to the August 31, 2015 year-end balance of $17,218,937. At February 29, 2016 cash and cash equivalents were $13,945,256 compared to $14,773,897 at the end of fiscal 2015. Titan does not have any debt except for trade payables, accrued liabilities and finance lease obligations.

Business Outlook

Titan continues to maintain its market share but within a significantly downsized new tanker market in the face of the dramatic downturn in the upstream crude oil market. Until crude oil prices recover to a level that stimulates increased oil rig activity in North America the demand for Titan primary products is expected to remain depressed. However, Titan–s proprietary TD80/Finch II/RCM technologies continue to be widely accepted which facilitates existing trailer retrofit sales, which are an ongoing opportunity.

In an effort to improve the sales margins for Titan–s products in territories served by its Saskatchewan branch Titan has entered into agreements with selected value added resellers (“VAR”) in southeast Saskatchewan to distribute and support many of Titan–s “In the Field” products. In conjunction with this expanded sales footprint Titan is downsizing its Saskatchewan branch while establishing dedicated customer sales and service support for the new VAR program.

Titan has expanded its –In the Field” product offerings to include the TankScan line of products. TankScan is a leader in wireless tank monitoring for more than ten years and monitors tens of thousands of tanks across the U.S. As a U.S. distributor and the sole Canadian distributor Titan offers TankScan–s tank level monitoring solution for fuel distributors, waste oil collectors and others managing liquid assets, primarily intended for use in downstream, refined petroleum tanks. The TankScan product provides remote access to liquid tank data anywhere an internet connection is available, facilitating efficient delivery and collection of liquid products.

Titan has also expanded its “On the Road” product offerings to include the Air-Weigh LoadMaxx line of products through a special integration with the existing Titan TD80/Finch II. Air-Weigh is a leader in electronic onboard scales with tens of thousands installations across the world. As the sole North American distributor of this unique integration Titan offers a combined overweight and overfill prevention solution.

Titan continues to closely monitor discretionary spending. Company-wide compensation roll backs of 5% to 10% for all employees and 20% for executive and directors including suspension of certain employee benefits remain in force.

The recent addition of a new CEO to Titan–s executive team has strengthened the company–s capability to verify and justify its R&D program while simultaneously integrating carefully selected third party technologies into the product offerings. In addition, this expanded management bandwidth has allowed Titan to intensify its review of strategic initiatives and opportunities, including acquiring and developing new products and partnerships while expanding into new markets. Titan continues a strategic planning exercise targeting a business plan that is responsive to the new market factors. The expanded management bandwidth has also facilitated an increased focus on sales by other members of the management team, particularly considering the addition of the new products.

As a result its April 7, 2016 Share Purchase and Settlement Agreement with The Article 6 Marital Trust created under the First Amended and Restated Jerry Zucker Revocable Trust, Titan will incur added unplanned one-time legal and regulatory expenses in the last half of fiscal 2016 in relation to the special meeting, provisions of the settlement and the related negotiations. In addition, certain corporate development initiatives were interrupted during the post notice period and negotiations on the settlement agreement.
