Roomlinx Reports 2014 First Quarter Results

DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - May 14, 2014) - Roomlinx, Inc. (OTCQB: RMLX) (OTCQB: RMLXP), the innovative developer of media networks and interactive TV (iTV) applications for the hospitality industry, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

In the first quarter of 2014, recurring monthly hospitality revenue increased 5.5% over the same period in 2013 while total revenue decreased 19% to $1.6 million compared to 2013. This decrease was primarily related to the decrease in new equipment and installation revenue which approximated $420,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 vs. 2013.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was servicing approximately 64,000 RGUs within the hospitality sector, a 10% increase over the number of RGUs being serviced as of March 31, 2013. An RGU is defined as a product or service for which the Company invoices the hotel monthly, including interactive television, video on demand, free to guest programming, and high speed internet access. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, Roomlinx reported a net loss of $0.5 million, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a reduction of net loss of $0.8 million. The decrease in net loss is attributable to an increase in revenues less direct costs approximating $0.2 million and the effect of our cost reduction and containment program resulting in a decrease in operating costs of $0.6 million. 

Adjusted EBITDA improved $0.8 million to negative $250,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 versus negative $1.05 million for the same period in 2013. This improvement was due to the cost reduction and containment program implemented in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense adjusted for the loss on discontinued operations, non-cash charges for stock based compensation, and non-cash gains or losses resulting from the settlement of liabilities.

Roomlinx financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 include the following:

  • Improved Adjusted EBITDA $0.8 million year-over-year.
  • Operating costs decreased $0.6 million year-over-year.
  • Recurring monthly hospitality revenue increased 5.5% year-over-year.
