CALGARY, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 12/06/16 — Cortex Business Solutions Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CBX), the online network helping companies connect and interact with each other to transmit documents and grow their businesses, today announces its three months ended October 31, 2016 (“Q1 F2017”) Management–s Discussion and Analysis and Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
“As we share Q1 F2017 results today, I continue to be encouraged by the progress that we have made as an organization in the past year. My confidence in this Cortex Management Team to now deliver on our growth and financial strategy has never been stronger,” commented Joel Leetzow, President and CEO. “With the restructuring and internal transformation of Cortex now being mostly complete, F2017 is going to be a year of increased sales momentum with new customers and a continued focus on increasing our value to our current customers.
“Q1 results for F2017 provide further proof that our goal of profitability is within reach this fiscal year. These Q1 results were achieved despite an increase in sales and marketing expenses during the quarter. Although there were no new buyers signed in Q1 F2017, the business coming from within our current customer base was strong and the results can be seen with our 777% improvement in professional services revenue quarter over quarter.”
Q1 F2017 Highlights:
Cash Flow from Operations
Revenue
Expenses
“Q1 F2017 marked a great start to the 2017 fiscal year,” said Sandra Fawcett, CFO of Cortex. With the cost realignment behind us, the focus has moved towards generating new sales while maintaining the strict cost structure. The pipeline for sales was strong in Q1 F2017, however, no net new buyers contracts closed in the quarter. It was expected given the ongoing development of the sales team. Confidence remains in the ability to close additional buyers in the upcoming six months.”
