Automated Benefits Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: AUT)
today reported revenue increased by 18% to approximately $4,586,000
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. This compares to
revenues of approximately $3,891,000 for the same period last year
which represents an increase of approximately $695,000.
The net loss for the twelve month period ending December 31,
2009 increased by 9.6% to approximately $1,944,000 and represents a
basic and fully diluted loss per share of $0.02. This compares to a
loss of approximately $1,774,000 during the same period last year
representing a basic and fully diluted loss per share of $0.02 and
an increase of approximately $170,000. The majority of this decline
results from a one-time expense for stock-based compensation.
Management believes adjusted EBITDA is also a useful measure
that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons. Adjusted
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation,
restructuring, impairment charges and other one-time gains and
losses. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve month period ending December
31, 2009 was ($1,102,000), an improvement of $160,000 over adjusted
EBITDA of ($1,262,000) for the prior year.
Automated Benefits Corp. President and Chief Executive Officer
James R. Swayze commented, "In the midst of a global recession in
2009, we were still able to acquire high-profile contracts in both
North America and the United Kingdom." He added, "When combined
with the launch of new products in both markets and the addition of
new sales-focused senior management, we believe this gives the
Corporation significant momentum going into 2010."
