BSM Technologies Inc. Reports 56% EBITDA Growth in its Third Quarter of Fiscal 2015

TORONTO, Aug. 5, 2015 /CNW/ - BSM Technologies Inc. ("BSM" or the "Company") (TSX-V: GPS), a leading provider of remote monitoring, fleet management, and fleet diagnostics systems, today announced its financial and operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 (the "Quarter"). All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Third Quarter of Fiscal 2015 Financial Highlights

• Recurring revenue⁽ⁱ⁾ of $5.1 million, up 17% compared to $4.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 ("Q3 F2014").
• Hardware and other revenue of $2.6 million, up 26% compared to $2.0 million in Q3 F2014.
• Total revenue of $7.7 million, up 19% compared to $6.4 million in Q3 F2014.
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽ⁱ⁾ of $0.8 million, up 56% compared to $0.5 million in Q3 F2014.
• Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, on July 30, 2015, BSM announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Webtech Wireless Inc. (TSX:WEW) ("Webtech Wireless") pursuant to which BSM and Webtech Wireless will combine their respective businesses via a plan of arrangement.

"Top line growth, investments in our business, and our continued efforts to strategically manage operating costs have driven year-over-year improvements in both gross profit margins and EBITDA margins, as compared to the prior period," said Aly Rahemtulla, BSM's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Macro headwinds in the oil and gas sector continue to have a negative impact on our subscriber numbers; however, we anticipate that continued growth in our rail business will offset these declines in the coming quarters. We believe that the recently announced arrangement with Webtech Wireless will create a bigger, better and stronger BSM."

Non-GAAP Disclosures

BSM believes that investors use certain non-GAAP measures as indicators to assess telematics companies, specifically recurring revenue, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. "Recurring revenue" includes monthly application service provider fees, monthly monitoring fees, and resale of cellular and satellite data. Recurring Revenue is recognized monthly as services are delivered and is derived from the service revenue category within the segmented information note of the Company's financial statements. BSM believes that Recurring revenue provides useful information to BSM's investors because it shows the long term nature of service revenue. "EBITDA" and "adjusted EBITDA" are measures of BSM's operating profitability. BSM believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to its investors because they exclude transactions not related to the core cash operating business activities, allowing meaningful analysis of the performance of BSM's core cash operations. EBITDA is an indicator of the financial results generated by BSM's business activities excluding: the impact of any financing activities; amortization of property, equipment and intangible assets; and taxes with respect to various jurisdictions. Adjusted EBITDA is a further refinement of EBITDA to remove the effect of: acquisition, integration and restructuring related costs; share-based compensation expense; write-off of goodwill or other impairments to any financial and non-financial assets; fair value adjustments on contingent consideration; and costs related to certain legal actions. As such, adjusted EBITDA provides more meaningful continuity with respect to the comparison of BSM's operating results over time. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are derived from the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and statement of cash flows. BSM believes that using these metrics enhances an overall understanding of the Company's results and BSM presents them for that purpose. See BSM's management discussion & analysis on its SEDAR profile for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.
