SCOTTSDALE, AZ and CALGARY, AB Aug. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - RDX Technologies Corporation ("RDX" or the "Company") (TSXV: RDX, OTCQX: RGDEF, FSE:RL7), a water treatment and energy technology company, today provides an update and general business overview of its first quarter fiscal 2014 results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Dennis Danzik, CEO of RDX Technologies, commented, "As promised, our management team has completed nearly five months of very hard work in strengthening the fundamentals of RDX to support our anticipated long term growth. We continue to experience strong growth in our water treatment business, as evidenced by a five-fold increase in water treatment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Water treatment and the beneficial products that we derive from that process now represent 100% of our focus. The recent sale of our legacy Environmental and GreenFill divisions, and the results of their operations are reported as discontinued operations for the quarter. Results for the quarter ending June 30, 2013 reflect the transition and restructuring of our business. As a result of the sale, of our Canadian operations we significantly enhanced our balance sheet. The Company's current cash position now stands at approximately $ 4.5 million. Our Santa Fe Springs and Carthage, Missouri facilities are generating stronger cash flow and are currently pacing just over US$ 40 million revenue run rate and we are witnessing a strong performance increase. The chart below describes our approximate EBITDA performance since our fiscal 2013 year-end."

Danzik added, "Looking ahead, we have built a highly scalable business model. We have demonstrated our ability to acquire and integrate underperforming assets. By installing our technologies, we are able to mine waste water and produce high margin fuel from the byproduct. This sets us apart from the industry, which has historically relied on tipping or pumping fees. As a result, we have an almost limitless supply of waste water we can tap into with our technologies. As we increase throughput at our existing facilities, we expect to benefit from strong incremental margins. Our near term focus for the remainder of this year is maximizing profitability of our existing assets, and establishing a financial base that is financeable with conventional debt."
