TORONTO, Aug. 4, 2016 /CNW/ - Redline Communications (www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of mission-critical wireless networks, today announced unaudited operating results1 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 (Q2 2016).
Q2 2016 Financial Highlights
- $5.0M Total Revenue, down 44%
- 49% Gross Margin
- $2.2M Adjusted EBITDA2 loss
- $2.5M Net Loss
- $11.0M Cash
- $6.0M new Order Bookings2
- $10.9M Order Backlog2
Total revenue for Q2 2016 was $5.0 million, down 44% over the same period in 2015 as the Company continues to see softness in the energy sector and focuses on developing new markets. Overall operating expenses were $5.0 million for Q2 2016, virtually unchanged over the same period last year. The Company has made further cost reductions that will have a positive impact in the third quarter.
Overall gross margin for Q2 2016 was 49%, down 9 percentage points from the 58% reported in the same period in 2015, largely attributed to a large customer order sold at lower than usual margins.
Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q2 2016 was $2.2 million or -43% of revenue, a decrease of $2.8 million over the Adjusted EBITDA of $0.6 million or 7% of revenue reported in the same period in 2015. The Adjusted EBITDA decrease was primarily a result of the decrease in overall sales volume and lower gross margins associated with a large order.
"Redline is committed to a strategy of market diversification and we are executing on that strategy as we continue our investment in the development of our LTE product line which we expect to formally launch in the coming weeks," said Robert Williams, Redline CEO. "While we know this strategy will take some time, we believe that we will begin to see the results of our efforts in the coming quarters."
Net loss for Q2 2016 was $2.5 million or ($0.15) per share, a $2.8 million decrease over the net profit of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per share reported in the same period in 2015. As of June 30, 2016 the Company had a cash balance of $11.0 million, a decrease of $2.0 million over the $13.0 million as at March 31, 2016.
Order Bookings for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $6.0 million, down 32% over the same period in 2015. The Order Backlog at June 30, 2016 was $10.9 million.
The Company had 17,215,469 common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2016.
