Q1 2017 Financial Results
Revenue in the first quarter of 2017 increased 73% to a record $2.5 million from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2016. The improvement was driven primarily by an increase in professional services, and to a lesser extent, by an increase in recurring revenue from the company’s RDC and Select Mobile Money solutions as a result of increased deployments, product enhancements, and transactions.

Recurring revenue from the company’s RDC and Select Mobile Money products increased 35% to $1.4 million (56.2% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2017 from $1.1 million (71.9% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2016.

Gross profit increased 171% to $837,000 (33.2% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2017 from $309,000 (21.2% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2016.

Cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2017 totaled $1.7 million (66.8% of revenue), compared to $1.2 million (78.8% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2016.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2017 increased 24% to $3.0 million from $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, driven primarily by additional hires to increase the sales efforts of the company’s solutions and services, as well as certain one-time expenses associated with the company’s public equity offering in March and uplisting onto the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the first quarter of 2017 totaled $2.8 million or $(0.83) per basic and fully diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $4.9 million or $(3.01) per basic and fully diluted share in the first quarter of 2016. The improvement in net loss attributable to common shareholders was primarily due to improved operational performance and a decrease in certain non-cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA loss (a non-GAAP term defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items) for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $1.8 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.6 million in the same year-ago period (see further discussion about the use of adjusted EBITDA, below). Removing one-time expenses, adjusted EBITDA would have improved year-over-year.

Management Commentary
“Perhaps no other quarter in our history has been more pivotal and instrumental to our long-term success than Q1 2017,” said Digiliti Money’s CEO Jeffrey Mack. “To start with, we rebranded the company to better reflect our evolution as a mobile money technology leader capitalizing on multi-billion-dollar end markets. In addition, we successfully raised $9.3 million and uplisted to the NASDAQ Capital Market. All three actions have strengthened our business substantially and have given us the resources to pursue larger and more meaningful opportunities, particularly in the massive and rapidly expanding prepaid market.

“While the headline for the quarter is arguably the achievement of these three important milestones, Q1 also represented a period of both strong financial results and operational progress. Our revenue increased 73% for the quarter to a record $2.5 million, driven by record transactions and robust professional services revenue. What’s perhaps most noteworthy about our financial results is that we once again grew our topline faster than we did our expenses, which not only improved our margins, but reiterates the scalability of our business model.

“From an operational standpoint, we secured nearly 50 new wins in the RDC space, and were approved by the Canadian banks to process Canadian checks. This ability to now generate transactional revenue from Canadian checks significantly expands our market opportunity and will be central to our overall expansion strategy, not just in Canada but globally. On the Select Mobile Money side, we signed a new SMM-X customer and brought another one live in Rebar. Finally, our newer solutions, like Select Mobile Account Opening and Bill Pay, are gaining incremental traction, as our sales pipeline and customer interest continue to increase.

While our focus remains on driving organic growth, we will also look at potential strategic tuck-in acquisitions that can supplement this growth, which we can now better pursue because of our recently enhanced balance sheet. Overall, our sources of growth, whether organic or inorganic, remain as strong as ever, positioning us for another great year and future ahead.”

Use of Non-GAAP Information
In evaluating the Company’s financial performance and operating trends, management considers information concerning the Company’s net sales, adjusted gross margins, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA, among other items, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluation of financial results.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures.  The method the Company uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release and can also be found on the Company’s website at www.digilitimoney.com.
