Cyberplex Inc. (TSX:CX) a leader in online publishing and customer acquisition
strategies today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2011. Total revenue for the quarter was $14.6 million, an increase
from the $12.3 million recorded in the same quarter of 2010, and adjusted EBITDA
for the quarter was approximately $150,000 as compared to $135,000 in the same
period of 2010. The net loss for the quarter was $3.6 million as compared to a
net loss of $141,000 in the same year ago period.
"Although tremendous progress was made during the quarter to rebuild the Tsavo
business unit, the impact resulting from the Yahoo-Bing integration
significantly affected our financial results" said Geoffrey Rotstein, Chief
Executive Officer of Cyberplex. "Our team responded quickly in redesigning our
systems and technology platform, and as a result we continue to see
month-over-month progress. Other divisions continued to execute against our
strategic initiatives, securing several new client engagements and partnerships
to leverage our interactive agency and targeted distribution."
The Company also reported that negotiations with Tsavo Media's principal lender,
American Capital, remain ongoing. As previously stated, the Company raised
certain concerns with American Capital regarding the transactions that gave rise
to the Credit Agreement with Tsavo Media, and has been working towards a
resolution with American Capital for some time.
"To date, discussions with American Capital have been productive. However, there
are details and issues that remain subject to further discussions and so we
cannot conclude that we have an agreement in place with the lender at this
time", said Mr. Rotstein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes a discussion of "Adjusted EBITDA," which is a
non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income
(loss) before (a) Finance costs (income), net; (b) income tax expense
(recovery); (c) depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of
intangible assets; (d) stock-based compensation expense related to the Company's
grant of stock options and (e) employee termination costs.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of the Company's operating
performance because it provides information related to the Company's ability to
provide cash flows for acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital
requirements. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted
EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance
of companies in its industry.
The non-GAAP financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with
results presented in accordance with the Company's GAAP and should not be relied
upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages
investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements in their
entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP
financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these
financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the
same or similar names. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur
expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of
these items from the Company's non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an
inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
