TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 05/30/16 — Imperus Technologies Corp. (“Imperus” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: LAB)(FRANKFURT: ISX)(FRANKFURT WKN: A12B58) reports its financial results for the first quarter of 2016 (the three month period ended March 31, 2016).
HIGHLIGHTS
All figures CAD
James Lanthier, Chief Executive Officer of Imperus, commented: “In the first quarter, strong performances in February and March helped us recover from the typical seasonal low of January. We see this momentum continuing in Q2 to date. Additionally, our Spanish language mobile games continue to grow at a double digit rate month-over-month.
This was our first full quarter of ownership of both Diwip and Akamon, and in the quarter we established a clear operating management structure. We have made strides in sharing marketing platforms, tools, and best practices across the combined organization and this work will continue to progress over the next two quarters.
In support of our evolution towards one unified organization, and to better reflect the spirit of our business, we have made a proposal to shareholders to rename the Company “Tangelo Games Corp.”. We believe this name better conveys our goal, which is to create social game content that delights and engages users around the world. The name change will become effective following shareholder and regulatory approval. Along with the corporate name change, as previously announced, we also expect to discontinue the use of the Akamon and Diwip brands.”
Vicenc Marti, President of Imperus, commented: “Q1 2016 marks the beginning of the actual full-fledged integration of our two operating units, Akamon and Diwip, into a single management structure and company culture. I am convinced that in the long run this will bring extraordinary benefits to our organization such as margin expansion and revenue growth. By integrating CRM, VIP Management, Customer Support and Cross Selling our existing and upcoming gaming library to the full 50 Million combined database of users, the immediate future of Tangelo Games looks very promising.”
