TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 11/28/11 — Automated Benefits Corp. (the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE: AUT) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Revenue increased by 18% to $2 million for the third quarter in 2011, compared to revenue of $1.7 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $0.3 million. Revenue increased by 35% to $5.7 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, compared to revenue of $4.2 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $1.5 million.
The net income for the third quarter in 2011 was $88,000 compared to the net income of $385,000 for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $297,000. The decrease relates mainly to the fact that Symbility delivered programming services revenue in the third quarter of FY 2010 at the front end of a customer rollout, which did not reoccur in the third quarter of FY 2011. These revenues are replaced by recurring license fees after the rollout of the project is complete. The net income for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 was $197,000 compared to a net loss of $215,000 for the same period in 2010, an improvement of $412,000.
The basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ending September 30, 2011 was approximately seven one-hundredths of a cent, compared to the basic and fully diluted earnings per share of three-tenths of a cent for the same period in 2010. The basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 was approximately two-tenths of a cent, compared to the basic and fully diluted loss per share of two-tenths of a cent for the same period in 2010.
The Corporation believes adjusted EBITDA is also a useful measure as a proxy for operating cash flow and facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as, earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, restructuring, impairment charges, and other one-time gains and losses. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011 was $146,000 and $483,000, respectively. This compares to adjusted EBITDA of $447,000 and $45,000 in the same period last year for a decrease of $301,000 and an improvement of $438,000 respectively.
Commenting on the third quarter of 2011, James R. Swayze, Chief Executive Officer of Automated Benefits Corp. said: “We are proud to have delivered our third consecutive profitable quarter. Our performance to date this year reflects the operational strength of our two subsidiaries and we expect this to contribute to our expanded growth in 2012.”
