"Effective execution of our growth strategy has led to record revenues in the second quarter," said Alexander Fernandes, president and chief executive officer at Avigilon. "We have been expanding our global sales team, building awareness of our brand, and investing in product innovation. I expect all these activities to continue to drive strong growth."
Financial Review
Avigilon reported revenue of $24.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $8.4 million, or 52%, compared to $16.0 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2011. Revenue growth was broadly based, with five of the six regions growing by at least 47% year-over-year, and no single sale representing more than 5% of revenue. In comparison, a one-time enterprise sale of $2.3 million was completed in Q2 2011, representing 14% of revenue. Factoring out that enterprise sale, revenue in the current quarter grew 80% over the previous year.
Gross margin was $11.7 million in the second quarter, an increase of $5.0 million or 74% from $6.7 million the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 48% in Q2 2012 compared to 42% a year earlier. The increased gross margin percentage has resulted primarily from a shift in sales mix. In particular, the large enterprise sale in the second quarter of last year, referenced above, had a product mix that resulted in low gross margins.
Selling and marketing expenses were $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, a $3.7 million increase from $2.9 million a year earlier. The increase was primarily due to a higher number of sales personnel, as we continue to grow our global sales team to support revenue growth, and activities associated with the Company's recently expanded marketing program designed to promote the Avigilon brand.
Research and development expenses, net of related income tax credits, were $1.2 million in Q2 2012, a $0.5 million increase compared to $0.7 million in the prior year's second quarter. The Company has increased its investment in R&D as it focuses on continuing to expand and enhance its product offering.
General and administrative expenses were $2.1 million in the second quarter, up $0.9 million from $1.2 million of G&A expense in Q2 2011. The increase was primarily due to additional personnel and their related expenses to support Avigilon's growth and its status as a public company.
EBITDA was $2.1 million in the second quarter, an increase of $19,000 or 1% from a year earlier. The increases in revenue and gross margin were largely offset by planned spending on further growth, investments that typically drive results in future periods.
Net income was $1.3 million in Q2 2012, an increase of $0.2 million or 22% compared to net income of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. Earnings per share were $0.04 (basic and diluted), compared to $0.06 (basic) and $0.04 (diluted) a year earlier. Avigilon's basic share count at June 30, 2012 was 31,451,287.

Non-IFRS Measures
The term "EBITDA" refers to earnings before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, foreign exchange gain or loss, and stock-based compensation. Management believes that EBITDA is a useful measure as it provides an indication of the operational results of the business prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration asset amortization. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. Accordingly, investors are cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income or net income determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or as a measure of its liquidity and cash flows.
