EDMONTON, ALBERTA — (Marketwired) — 07/27/16 — Titan Logix Corp., (TSX VENTURE: TLA) (“Titan” or the “Company”), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of innovative fluid measurement and management solutions announces its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of its fiscal 2016, ended May 31, 2016.
“Titan–s market is continuing to be significantly affected with the decline in the demand for new crude oil tankers as a result of the crude oil price collapse,” said CEO, Douglas Carruthers. “Although Titan is maintaining its market share for traditional legacy products in this slower environment, we are adjusting our operations to face these challenging times. Titan–s strong financial position allows us to endure the difficult times and continue to pursue new business opportunities to leverage Titan–s expertise and capital.”
Summary of Sales Revenue and Net Earnings (Loss)
Titan Logix Corp.–s revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 ended May 31, 2016 totaled $743,622, a decrease of $1,827,102 or 71% from revenue of $2,570,724 in the previous year–s third quarter. Demand for the Company–s signature product (TD80) has abruptly declined concurrent with demand for oil mobile tankers as a result of the crude oil price collapse. Titan–s revenue outside of Canada, primarily to the U.S., was $454,008 in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 72% from revenue of $1,619,860 in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Revenue in Canada for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $289,614, a decrease of 70% from revenue of $950,864 in fiscal 2015–s third quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal 2016 ended May 31, 2016, sales were $3,266,521, down by $8,299,339 or 72% from sales of $11,565,860 in the first nine months of fiscal 2015.
The net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $799,112 ($0.03 loss per diluted share) compared to net earnings of $6,393 ($0.00 per diluted share) for fiscal 2015. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in revenue and related gross profit which was slightly offset by lower expenses. Net loss and comprehensive loss in fiscal 2016–s first nine months was $1,808,772 ($0.07 per diluted share) after tax, compared to earnings of $2,124,655 ($0.08 per diluted share) after tax reported for the first nine months of fiscal 2015.

Financial Position

Titan does not have any debt except for trade payables, accrued liabilities and finance lease obligations.
Business Outlook
Titan continues to maintain its market share for level measurement and control devices in a significantly smaller crude oil tanker construction market in the face of the dramatic downturn in the upstream crude oil market. Until crude oil prices recover to a level that stimulates increased oil tanker activity in North America the demand for Titan–s primary products is expected to remain depressed.
Titan–s proprietary TD80/Finch II/RCM technologies continue to be widely accepted. Due to the large install base and market share of these products Titan is focused on new market opportunities including existing tanker retrofit sales, gauging sales in the upstream storage tank market, as well as gauging sales in mobile and storage tanks in downstream markets.
Titan has taken a number of steps to position itself in this new market reality:
