Q3 2013 Financial Results Summary
For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, total revenue decreased to $1.5 million from $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was a result of recognizing $0.6 million of services revenue from the arbitration award during the third quarter of 2012.

Total | 1,313 | 1,333 | 1,027 | 1,756 | 1,810 |
Gross profit decreased during the third quarter to $1.1 million compared from $1.7 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to $0.6 million recognized from the arbitration award in the prior year and a $0.1 million write down of MobiKEY Classic devices in the current quarter.
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $1.15 million compared to $1.24 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in general administration expense. Professional fees decreased by approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, as a result of reducing outsourced human resource and investor relations activities.
As a result, Route1's third quarter 2013 total comprehensive net loss was $0.06 million compared to total comprehensive net income of $0.16 million during the same period in the prior year. Adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other costs (Adjusted EBITDA) during the three-month period amounted to $22,000 compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2012.
As at September 30, 2013, Route1 had no bank debt and a cash balance of $1.4 million.

Year-to-date 2013 Financial Results Summary
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, total revenue decreased to $3.9 million from $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2012. Gross profit also decreased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to $3.1 million from $5.7 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in total revenue and gross profit is primarily a result of the arbitration award.
Operating expenses for the nine month ended September 30, 2013 were $3.3 million compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2012. The reduction in operating expenses was driven by lower professional fees, an increase in the SR&ED tax credit amount, and lower salaries and benefits costs.
As a result, Route1's year-to-date 2013 total comprehensive net loss was $0.3 million compared to total comprehensive net income of $1.6 million during the same period in the prior year.
