TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2015 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
mission-critical networks, today announced unaudited operating
results¹ for the three months ended September 30, 2015 (Q3 2015).
Q3 2015 Financial Highlights:
- $6.4M Total Revenue
- 47% Gross Margin
- $1.3M Adjusted EBITDA² loss
- $1.7M Net Loss
- $12.9M Cash
- $9.5M new Order Bookings²
- $16.1M Order Backlog²
Total revenue for Q3 2015 was $6.4
million, down 30% over the same period in 2014. Order
bookings for Q3 2015 were $9.5
million, up 12% over the same period in 2014 and up 7%
sequentially over Q2 2015. The order backlog at September 30, 2015 was $16.1 million, an increase of $3.2 million sequentially from Q2 2015.
"Ongoing low oil prices and subsequent delays in purchasing have
negatively impacted overall sales to the energy sector and
therefore overall company revenues in Q3 2015," said Robert Williams, Redline CEO. "While the oil and
gas market continues to be an area of focus for the company, we
have increased our emphasis on sales to non-energy sector
customers. This has resulted in a quarter-over-quarter increase in
total order bookings, driven largely by orders from non-energy
sector customers and this sector diversity is expected to
continue."
Overall gross margin for Q3 2015 was 47%, down 3 percentage
points from 50% reported in the same period in 2014. Lower gross
margins in Q3 2015 are attributed largely to a one-time inventory
write-down charge of $0.4 million
that reduced gross margins by 6 percentage points. Overall
operating expenses were $4.6 million
for Q3 2015, up 2% over $4.5 million
for the same period last year. At the end of September 2015, the Company undertook a minor
restructuring, reducing the number of employees and contractors.
This restructuring is expected to reduce annual costs by
$2.0 million, or $0.5 million per quarter starting in the fourth
quarter of 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q3 2015 was $1.3
million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.4 million reported in the same period in 2014.
Net loss for Q3 2015 was $1.7
million, or ($0.10) per share,
compared to a net loss of $0.1
million, or ($0.01) per share
reported in the same period in 2014. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had $12.9 million of cash, or $0.75 per common share, a decrease of
$3.5 million from $16.4 million at December
31, 2014.
The Company had 17,046,241 common shares outstanding as of
September 30, 2015.
A conference call and webcast to discuss the Company's Q3 2015
financial results have been scheduled for November 10, 2015 at 10:00
a.m. Eastern Time. To participate in the call, please
