MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - May 23, 2014) - 360 VOX Corporation (TSX VENTURE:VOX)

360 VOX Corporation ("360 VOX" or the "Company"), a global real estate company in the hospitality and asset management, real estate development and sales and marketing businesses, today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Highlights:

(All figures in Canadian dollars and presented under IFRS, except where otherwise indicated).

  • Net revenue for the quarter of $6.4 million on gross revenues of $15.6 million for a net margin of 41%, an increase from the same quarter in 2013 of $0.15 million in net revenue and $1.66 million in gross revenues.
  • Reportable segment profit in the sales and marketing division decreased by $2 million from the same quarter in 2013 due to weaker results from large scale development sales and marketing.
  • Reportable segment profit for the hospitality and asset management division decreased by 8% to $1.05 million, from $1.14 million in 2013, as a result of the sale of three hotels under management in the latter part of 2013. The reduction in profit was offset by the revenue earned from agreements entered into to manage two U.S. resorts in 2013.
  • Reportable segment profit for the real estate development division increased to $0.5 million from a loss of $0.27 million in 2013 as a result of new development agreements entered into in the latter part of 2013.
  • Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $1.2 million, or $0.004 per share, compared to $0.5 million in 2013, or $0.002 per share. The loss includes $0.25 million of acquisition and due diligence related costs and $0.38 million in amortization and write-offs, which, if excluded, results in adjusted net loss1 of $0.6 million.
  • Cash balance at March 31, 2014 of $2.8 million.

Results:

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $15.6 million, up by $1.7 million from the same quarter of fiscal 2013. Net revenue increased by $0.15 million over the same quarter in fiscal 2013. The change in revenue period over period is explained mostly by weaker results in the large scale development, sale and marketing revenue offset by improved results in the real estate development fee revenue.

Cash balance at the end of Q1 decreased as a result of servicing the company's debt obligations and investment in certain leasehold improvements, offset slightly by Franchisor advances received in the sales and marketing segment.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.2 million, or $0.004 per share. The net loss was affected by non-cash adjustments required by IFRS, which includes significant amortization expense ($0.38 million). The net loss is also affected by one-time acquisition and due diligence related costs ($0.25 million). The adjusted net loss1, excluding amortization and acquisition and due diligence related costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 would have been $0.6 million or $0.002 per share.

1 Adjusted net earnings does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and thus may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that the adjusted net earnings presented enables the Company's shareholders to better assess the Company's operating results. Investors should consider this non-IFRS measure in the context of the Company's IFRS results.
