• Q4 2016 revenue estimate of approximately $19 million, up 10% over Q4 2015

MONTREAL, March 21, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Imaflex Inc. ("Imaflex" or the "Corporation") (TSXV: IFX), today announced its unaudited estimated revenue for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 and provided 2017 revenue guidance. All amounts are in Canadian dollars.

Imaflex estimates unaudited revenue of approximately $19 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, up 10% over the $17.1 million recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2015. For full year 2016, unaudited revenues are expected to be over $73 million, up approximately 6% from $69.2 million in 2015. The results do not reflect the $1.0 million Shine N' Ripe XL order, announced in December 2016. The associated revenues will be recognized in the first quarter of 2017, in line with delivery schedules.

"With a strong product line-up, the Corporation is delivering its sixth year of sequential annual revenue growth," highlighted President and Chief Executive Officer, Joe Abbandonato. "Our core flexible packaging offerings are providing a steady revenue stream as we build-out our next generation crop protection and yield enhancement products for the multi-billion dollar agriculture market."

The Corporation notes that these unaudited estimated results are based on management's initial review of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. They are subject to adjustments in conjunction with the completion of the Corporation's customary annual closing procedures. Consequently, final results may differ from these preliminary estimates and any changes could be material. The Corporation expects to release final audited 2016 financial results on April 19, 2017.

2017 Revenue Guidance
"We will continue to build on the positive traction we are seeing across our business and anticipate further revenue momentum going forward," continued Mr. Abbandonato. "We are excited about our future and based on our current visibility, we expect calendar 2017 revenues to grow by approximately 10% over 2016."
