Automated Benefits Corp. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE: AUT)
today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal
year 2011. Revenue increased by 58 percent to approximately $2.0
million for the second quarter, compared to revenues of
approximately $1.3 million in the same period last year, an
increase of $0.7 million. Revenue increased by 46 percent to
approximately $3.7 million for the six months ending June 30, 2011,
compared to revenues of approximately $2.5 million in the same
period last year, an increase of approximately $1.2 million.
The net income for the three and six months ending June 30, 2011
increased to approximately $51,000 and $109,000, respectively. This
compares to a loss of approximately $405,000 and $600,000 in the
same period last year, an improvement of approximately $456,000 and
$709,000.
The basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the three
months and six months ending June 30, 2011 was approximately four
one-hundredths of a cent and one-tenth of a cent, respectively.
This compares to a basic and fully diluted loss per share in the
same period last year of approximately three and a half tenths of a
cent and one-half of a cent.
The Corporation believes adjusted EBITDA is also a useful
measure as a proxy for operating cashflow and 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 three and six months ending June 30, 2011 was $232,000 and
$337,000, respectively. This compares to adjusted EBITDA of
($240,000) and ($401,000) in the same period last year for an
improvement of $472,000 and $738,000.
"We are pleased to have delivered our second consecutive
profitable quarter and our first quarter in excess of $2.0 million
in revenue," says James R. Swayze, Chief Executive Officer of
Automated Benefits Corp. "By continuing to work closely with our
key partners and fostering new customer relationships, we expect to
extend this accelerated revenue growth and profitability throughout
2011."
