TORONTO, Oct. 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Posera-HDX Ltd. (TSX: HDX) (the "Company" or "Posera-HDX") announced today its preliminary revenue estimates for the three and nine-months ended September 30th, 2013. Posera-HDX is listed on the TSX under the symbol "HDX".
Paul Howell, Chief Executive Officer, reports:
The Company's strong performance in fiscal 2013 continued and accelerated in the third quarter of 2013. The Company expects revenue for the three-months ended September 30, 2013 to be in the range of $4,970,000 to $5,260,000, compared to $4,032,574 for the three-months ended September 30, 2012 and $4,305,530 for the three-months ended June 30, 2013 which would represent an increase in revenue in the range of 23% to 31% over third quarter 2012 revenue and 15% to 21% over second quarter 2013 revenue. This translates to revenue for the nine-months ended September 30, 2013 being in the range of $13,370,000 to $13,660,000, compared to $11,908,578 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2012, an increase in revenue in the range of 12% to 22% over the comparable 2012 period.
These unaudited preliminary revenue estimates are, in accordance with normal procedures, subject to further review procedures and completion by the Company and its auditors.
The preliminary revenue estimates for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2013 are being disclosed as the Company is in discussions regarding proposed terms of a private placement of equity securities and subordinated debt (collectively the "Financing"). A portion of the net proceeds of such a Financing, if completed, would be used to complete the proposed acquisition of Zomaron Inc., operating as Zomaron Merchant Services ("Zomaron"), which the Company anticipates will close during the fourth quarter of 2013. The balance of the net proceeds of the potential Financing would be used for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes.
The Company expects to file its unaudited interim financial statements for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2013 in the normal course. The Company does not expect to provide further or updated preliminary guidance in advance of the final results for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2013. Further, the Company does not intend to release preliminary financial results on a continuing basis in future periods.
As announced in April 2013, the Company has signed a letter of intent to acquire Zomaron. Founded in 2008, Zomaron provides credit and debit card processing solutions to Canadian merchants nationwide. Based in London, Ontario, Zomaron has offices in Edmonton AB, Toronto ON, and Montreal QC. Through its nation-wide network of sales representatives and strategic partnerships, Zomaron has experienced rapid growth, doubling its sales annually. Zomaron's exponential growth led it to be ranked on PROFIT magazine's 13th and 14th annual PROFIT HOT 50 ranking released in October 2012 and 2013 issues respectively. Zomaron's solutions and services can also be marketed and deployed in the United States.
