GlobalWise Investments Announces Results for First Quarter 2014


COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwired - May 15, 2014) - GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (OTCQB: GWIV) (the "Company") (www.GlobalWiseInvestments.com) and its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, Inc., a leading-edge technology company focused on the design, implementation and management of cloud-based Enterprise Content Management ("ECM") systems in both the public and private sectors, announce financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The Company's total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $299,183 as compared to $354,871 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of $55,688, or 16%, primarily attributable to decreases in revenues from professional services and software maintenance services. 

Overall gross margins were 79% and 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of 30%.

Total operating expenses were $591,573 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $801,275 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing a decrease of 26%, or $209,702. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily due to a reduction in sales and marketing expense.

GlobalWise reported a net operating loss of $403,822 and $671,797 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decrease in net loss of $267,975, or 40%.

Matthew Chretien, President and CEO of GlobalWise, stated, "In Q1 of 2014, Intellinetics continued to implement MarketCommand™, which we will refer to as IntelliCloud™ going forward, our reseller program for print/imaging and IT solutions providers. In Q1 of 2014, we added five (5) partners who are actively selling IntelliCloud™ based solutions. We also entered into an alliance with Muratec, a hardware OEM, to present the IntelliCloud™ program to its 600 dealer network."

"Our first quarter results continue to reflect our shift in focus from premise-based, one-time sales to the new low-cost, cloud-based IntelliCloud™ model, which has been challenging from a short-term revenue perspective. However, as the number of active IntelliCloud™ increases, we will generate growing recurring revenue. The video link below captures the simplicity of IntelliCloud™ in action. Its power is in the simplicity of messaging and its delivery as a feature of the multi-function devices most businesses already own."
