IGC Announces Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015


  • Expands electronics business on strong revenue growth
  • Files preliminary patents for phytocannabinoid based therapies

BETHESDA, Md., July 13, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE MKT:IGC) announces financial results for fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

Fiscal 2015 revenue was about $7.68 million compared to about $2.27 million for fiscal 2014; a growth of 238%.

"We are happy to report that we have successfully transitioned away from iron ore and dependency on the growth of the Chinese economy to electronics supply chain for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We focused on supplying electronic components for the Internet of Things to OEMs in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We expect to grow this business by leveraging our international presence and pursuing higher margin distribution agreements with some of the large component manufacturers. We are also driving cost synergies in lighting, control systems and other technologies for building out vertical farm infrastructure that can eventually be used to grow medical grade cannabis for phytocannabinoid based nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals," said Ram Mukunda CEO of IGC.

Fiscal 2015 selling, general and administrative expenses were about $4.14 million compared to $2.18 million for fiscal 2014; an increase of 88%. For fiscal 2015, the non-GAAP SG&A after adjusting for non-cash items and one-time charges was about $1.86 million.

About $2.24 million of the increase in G&A for fiscal 2015, is attributable to (a) non-cash expenses associated with employee stock grants approved by the shareholders, (b) one-time expenses associated with a write down of bad debt from the iron ore trading business, (c) one-time expenses associated with the settlement of two law suits, (d) one-time expenses associated with the acquisitions of Golden Gate and Midtown Partners, and (e) non-cash expenses associated with research and development (R&D) in phytocannabinoid based therapies.

In fiscal 2015, the Company reported a GAAP (loss) of about ($4.61) million and EPS loss of ($0.31) as compared to a GAAP (loss) of ($3.02) million and EPS loss of ($0.37) for fiscal 2014. The non-GAAP loss after adjusting for one-time and non-cash items is a loss of ($2.36) million for fiscal 2015.

At March 31, 2015, our working capital was about $2.03 million with about $0.8 million of cash.

"Our strategy is fairly simple: drive revenue and profit from the electronic supply chain business and infrastructure build out and drive long term shareholder value through phytocannabinoid based therapies. Our operating subsidiaries are at close to breakeven with most of the consolidated loss attributable to overheads associated with public market expenses. We expect to close some of that gap in fiscal 2016," continued Mukunda.

The Company reported total liabilities of $5.58 million in fiscal 2015 versus $3.59 million for fiscal 2014. The majority of the increase in total liability came from the electronic supply chain business.

As at March 31, 2015, stockholders' equity was about $14.75 million compared to about $14.15 million at March 31, 2014.
