Medworxx Solutions Inc. Files First Quarter Financial Statements and
Management Discussion and Analysis
TORONTO, May 28 /CNW/ - Medworxx Solutions Inc (the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:MWX) announced today it has filed with the Canadian securities authorities its interim consolidated financial statements and management discussion & analysis report for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. These documents may be viewed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.
Highlights of the first quarter results include:
- Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $1,099,246, representing a 3% decrease from revenue of $1,131,584 in the prior quarter and an increase of 15% over revenue of $957,175 in the same quarter last year. The slight decrease from the prior quarter is due to a decrease in consulting revenue. Consulting revenue has decreased due to custom development projects not having reached completion. - Total expenses before loss/gain on foreign exchange, SR&ED expense, and interest on long-term debt for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $1,186,847, representing an increase of 2% over expenses of $1,160,595 in the prior quarter and a decrease of 1% from expenses of $1,198,585 in the same quarter last year. These numbers reflect Management's planned control of expenses as Medworxx drives to profitability. - Contract value of recurring revenue at March 31, 2010 with existing customers was $3,221,290 as compared to $3,199,000 at December 31, 2009, a nominal increase over the prior quarter. Contract value of recurring revenue increased 17% over contract value of recurring revenue of $2,756,000 at March 31, 2009. The Company defines contract value of recurring revenue as the contract value or agreement amount for the annual renewable agreements which at the end of a reporting period management believes there to be a high probability of renewal. As the full value of such contracts is recognized as revenue over 12 months, the growth in this value is an important metric for the Company. This is a non-GAAP measure. - EBITDA, defined as Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, and Amortization, for the quarter was ($46,336) as compared to EBITDA in the prior quarter of $25,565 a change of $71,901, and as compared to EBITDA of ($214,742) in the same quarter last year, a change of $168,406. Adjusted EBITDA, defined as Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, Amortization, Loss on Foreign Exchange and Stock Option Expense, for the quarter was $3,598 as compared to $91,068 in the prior quarter, a change of $87,470, and as compared to adjusted EBITDA of ($166,030) in the same quarter last year, a change of $169,628. - The Company incurred losses of $98,657 vs. losses of $260,866 for the same quarter in the prior year and $29,012 in the prior quarter. This improvement in results of operations over the prior year is due to the Company's focus on getting to profitability, growing revenue and tightly controlling expenses. The increase in losses versus the prior quarter is due to a decrease in consulting revenue combined with increased expenses in the quarter due to higher payroll costs associated with employer source deductions at the beginning of the year which abate throughout the year, as well as a large trade show that the Company attended in the first quarter. - The Nova Scotia Department of Health added additional licenses for the Medworxx Learning Management System (LMS) and Policy Document Management System (PDMS). Both of these applications are now licensed for all healthcare workers across the province. This is the first capture of an entire provincial workforce, and demonstrates the potential and scalability of the Medworxx solutions.
"We are pleased with our year over year growth, and to have positive adjusted EBITDA for the second consecutive quarter," said Dan Matlow, President & CEO, Medworxx. "The Medworxx team continues to focus on execution of our business plan."
