Roomlinx Reports 2013 Year End Results

Hospitality Recurring Revenue Increased 65% Year-Over-Year

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - April 01, 2014) -  Roomlinx, Inc. (OTCBB: RMLX), the innovative developer of media networks and interactive TV (iTV) applications for the hospitality industry, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, certain items for the year ended December 31, 2012 have been reclassified as discontinued operation due to the Company's determination to cancel non-performing hospitality contracts serviced by Cardinal Hospitality Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (details can be found in the Company's current SEC 10k filing).

In 2013, total revenue decreased 27% to $9.4 million from $13.0 million. Hospitality revenue in 2013 decreased 29% to $8.6 million compared to $12.1 million. However, in 2013 hospitality recurring revenue increased 65% to $5.0 million from $3.1 million. Residential revenue was down slightly to $862,000 in 2013 compared to $ 915,000 in 2012.

Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2013 decreased 70% to $2.2 million, down from $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Install volume was the primary driver representing a $5.4 million decrease from the fourth quarter of 2012. However, hospitality recurring revenue increased 31% in the fourth quarter of 2013 to $1.3 million from $1.0 million in the same period in 2012. Residential revenue was down slightly to $203,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $224,000 in the same period last year.

Total 2013 adjusted EBITDA improved $3.3 million to negative $1.4 million for the year ending 2013 versus negative $4.7 million for the year ending 2012. This improvement was due to the cost reduction and containment program implemented at the beginning of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense adjusted for the loss on asset impairment, the loss on discontinued operations, non-cash charges for stock based compensation, and non-cash gains or losses resulting from the forgiveness of debt.

Roomlinx financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2013 include the following:

  • Improved Adjusted EBITDA $3.3 million year-over-year.
  • Hospitality recurring revenue increased to $5.0 from $3.1 million or 65% year-over-year.
  • Implemented company-wide cost containment program yielding approximately a $1.5 million decrease in costs year-over-year.

Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 6,407,484 and 5,809,406, respectfully.

"Although our revenue decreased $3.6 million, we improved our adjusted EBITDA $3.3 million year-over-year. This is attributable to our focus on cost containment and operational efficiencies. I firmly believe the structural changes made in 2013, as well as our planned strategic initiatives, position us well for profitable growth going forward," said Michael Wasik, Roomlinx Chairman and CEO.
