Record $41 Million Revenues and $0.07 EPS for 2013; Expanded Product Portfolio for 2014 Growth; Conference Call Begins Today at 4:30pm EDT

WAYNE, PA--(Marketwired - Mar 27, 2014) - International Commercial Television, Inc. (OTCQB: ICTL) (or "ICTV"), a direct response marketing and branding company focused on the health, wellness and beauty sector, today reported financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013.

2013 Financial Highlights:

• Revenues of $41.0 million, up 79% from a year earlier
• Gross margins of 71.9%, up from 67.4% a year earlier
• Net income of $1.65 million versus a ($0.55) million loss a year earlier
• Strengthened balance sheet with a current working capital ratio of 2.54X, up from 1.1X at the end of 2012
• Increased cash balance to $1.43 million, from $0.91 million at the end of 2012
• New product acquisition and development expense of approximately $0.4 million
• Improved shareholders' equity to approximately $2.1 million, up from a negative $0.4 million at the end of 2012

2013 Business Highlights:

• Continued success of DermaWand, surpassing 2 million units sold to-date
• Continued expansion of DermaVital continuity line
• Expansion of categories and products in health and beauty
• Executed exclusive agreements and made investments for proprietary products and systems, including Elastin RP, DermaBrilliance and Coral Actives
• Progressed clinical studies and media production for various projects in midst of launching or expected to launch in 2014, including Elastin RP and DermaBrilliance

Kelvin Claney, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "While 2013 was a record year for ICTV, we continue to look to build upon our flagship product DermaWand and invest for future growth. Our DermaWand success has brought us many additional opportunities in the health and beauty sector. We have successfully negotiated and structured several exclusive agreements for new projects and products that we are very excited about for 2014 and years to come."

Revenues for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were approximately $9.8 million and $41.0 million, a decrease of 3% and an increase of 79% when compared with revenues of approximately $10.1 million and $22.9 million for the same periods in 2012. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the continued success of our DermaWand infomercial, the expansion our DermaVital brand, and opening up new international distribution in Mexico and Canada. As the Company continues to build the DermaWand brand and exposure, media related expenditures increased to approximately $3.4 million and $13.0 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, compared to approximately $3.2 million and $7.6 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Net income (loss) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was approximately ($272,000) and $1.65 million compared to a net loss of approximately ($424,000) and ($550,000) for the same periods in 2012. Contributing to the improvement was an increase in airings of DermaWand infomercial as well as the growth in continuity sales generated from the monthly shipments of the Company's DermaVital skincare products.

Sales from DermaVital for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were approximately $1.0 million and $4.2 million as compared to approximately $767,000 and $1.5 million during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Since the majority of these sales occur after the expense of acquiring the customer has already occurred (i.e. media expenses, telemarketing expenses, etc.) as well as with lower materials costs, the profit margin on these particular sales is high, compared to the initial DRTV sale that results directly from the running of an infomercial. In addition, the increase in DRTV revenue was in part due to the launching of a new Spanish language version of the DermaWand show in August 2012. ICTV generated revenues from the Spanish language version of approximately $8.5 million in 2013, as compared to $3.6 million in 2012.

Included in our net income (loss) were new product acquisition, infomercial production and product development expenses of approximately $168,000 and $410,000 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to approximately $49,000 and $208,000 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was approximately $61,000 and $2.5 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 as compared with approximately ($240,000) and $337,000 for same periods in 2012. Diluted earnings per share three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was ($0.01) and $0.07, up from a loss per share of ($0.03) for the same periods in 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $1.43 million in cash, compared to $908,000 at December 31, 2012. We generated positive cash flows from operations of approximately $648,000 and in the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had working capital of approximately $2.9 million, compared to approximately $336,000 at December 31, 2012. Based on our improved financial stability our auditors have removed any going concern language from their audit opinion.

Richard Ransom, President, stated, "We are pleased to be reporting a record year for ICTV in terms of $41 million revenues and $1.6 million of net income. Our balance sheet continued to improve throughout the year and finished at its strongest point with $1.43 million cash and $2.1 million shareholders equity. We are excited about the impact of our recently launched new products and others under development and are confident the strong momentum demonstrated in 2013 will continue. We are pleased to have shared our 2013 success with rewarded shareholders, as our improved business operations have been reflected in an improved stock price, rising from a low of $0.08 to $0.90 during 2013. In conclusion, we would like to thank our dedicated ICTV team, the over 2 million consumers who have purchased one of our products and our shareholders."
