TSX-V: ERG
LAVAL, QC, May 29, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Ergoresearch Ltd ("Ergoresearch" or "the Company") based in Laval and known under the «Équilibre, orthèses et biomécanique» banner – announces its results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2017. All dollar amounts in the present release are in Canadian currency.
Revenues reached $2,999,912 for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 compared to $3,001,573 for the same quarter of Fiscal 2016. The recovery in recent quarters is continuing and the Company is positioning itself favorably with the evolution of the market.
The net profit for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 amounted to $(362,654) compared to a net profit of $(150,112) for the same quarter last year. This decrease in the results is related to start-up costs incurred in the last quarter:
- Sleep apnea services at selected Equilibre laboratories in the province of Quebec
- Dynamic knee analysis service (Knee KG technology)
- Recruitment and training of distributors outside Quebec for our flagship Ergoresearch products
These initiatives will increase revenues, optimize the available rental space and advantageously position Equilibre in the context of the reorganization of health care in Quebec.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to $(651,175) for the third quarter of Fiscal 2017 compared to $(396,774) for the same period last year.
In regards to its balance sheet, the Company paid its long-term debt and still has a cash equivalent of more than $7 million.

- Strengthened by our cash position, pursue the exploration of potential acquisitions or partnerships in Quebec and across Canada.
- Deploy the "Equilibre" brand in a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary concept through the opening or designation of the super-clinics in Quebec.
