BRAMPTON, ON, Nov. 6, 2014 /CNW/ - DATA Group Ltd. (TSX: DGI) ("DATA Group") announced its consolidated financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.
We continue to make progress on our Transformation Plan and remain focused on creating long-term enterprise value appreciation for our shareholders. In the third quarter of 2014, we were encouraged by positive results as we were able to increase Revenue by 5.4% and Adjusted EBITDA by 41%, relative to the same period in 2013.
Why is a Transformation Plan Required?
Our industry has seen wholesale changes over the last number of years, mostly due to rapid technological advances. The competitive environment in which we operate has become even more challenging as our industry transforms to more digital forms of communications and adapts to new client demands for blended print and digital solutions. These factors adversely impacted our financial results for 2013 and the first half of 2014. DATA Group has responded with a Transformation Plan that establishes clear goals, all of which aim to enhance shareholder value. Our Transformation Plan is showing results in the three key areas we have targeted; cost reduction, debt reduction and revenue stabilization. In summary:
Cost Reduction
In October we announced plans for the consolidation of four existing manufacturing locations in Western Canada into one new, modern print and marketing communications centre located in Calgary, Alberta. This will happen in early 2015 and be part of our 2015 savings. We anticipate annual savings of $2.5 million to $3.0 million as a result of this consolidation, with associated restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2015 of $2.0 million to $2.2 million. We also completed several management changes in the third quarter which have strengthened our operational management team and will positively contribute to our cost savings program.
When we started the restructuring process we had a target to take out 35% of our manufacturing floor space and 20% of our headcount at all levels. We are well advanced in achieving our targets. Including the announcements made in October, we will have reduced our manufacturing floor space by 23% and our headcount by 13%. While doing this, we have successfully sublet three of the exited facilities in which we had ongoing lease commitments.
Debt Reduction
We reduced our long-term indebtedness by $10.0 million since the beginning of 2013, including a $2.0 million reduction in the third quarter of 2014, and we intend to further reduce debt going forward. We have also commenced a normal course issuer bid for the purchase of up to $4.476 million of our outstanding 6.00% Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures ("6.00% Convertible Debentures") due June 30, 2017. As at September 30, 2014, $0.2 million principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Debentures have been purchased under the NCIB.
Revenue Stabilization
Our intent in 2014 is to stabilize our revenue and position ourselves for longer term growth. Our plan to achieve this goal is based on;
- Adding new sales talent
- Winning market share in our traditional print business
- Investing in the key growth areas we have identified; labels, marketing print and digital communications
- Bundling our digital services with our print offerings
Our increased revenue in the third quarter indicates progress towards this goal, highlighted by strong new business development results. Year to date, revenue has materially stabilized relative to 2013 and new business development results have improved by approximately 30%.
The significant changes we have made to our management and sales team in the past year have given us an aggressive focus on new business development and the talent to lead our Transformation Plan. In the third quarter we continued to make a number of personnel changes to strengthen our sales team, highlighted by new sales leadership in Quebec, and to make prudent investments to expand our capabilities in the growth areas we have targeted. The new Calgary facility we recently announced will provide more effective service offerings to clients in Western Canada, including a wide range of document management and marketing communications services. During the third quarter we also completed installation of recent investments in new specialty label production and point of sale/lottery roll production capabilities and we made encouraging progress on a number of new business sales opportunities in the retail, financial services and transportation markets

Revenues
For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, DATA Group recorded revenues of $78.1 million, an increase of $4.0 million or 5.4% compared with the same period in 2013. The increase, before intersegment revenues, was the result of a $3.4 million increase in the DATA East and West segment and a $0.7 million increase in the Multiple Pakfold segment, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, DATA Group recorded revenues of $232.8 million, a decrease of $2.0 million or 0.9% compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease, before intersegment revenues, was the result of a $3.2 million decrease in the DATA East and West segment and was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in the Multiple Pakfold segment. The increase in revenues for the three months end September 30, 2014 in the DATA East and West segment was primarily due to the increase in sales to existing customers, improvement in product mix and price increases passed through to customers for increased material costs. Revenues in the DATA East and West segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased from the same period in the prior year and mostly in the first half of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to orders from existing customers for print-related products and services which did not repeat in 2014, aggressive pricing by DATA Group's competitors supplying similar products and services and a change in product mix. The segment continued to experience revenue gains from new business, which partially offset declines in revenues from existing customers due to non-repeating orders, technological change and competitive activity. The increase in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 in the Multiple Pakfold segment was attributable to new business which arose as a result of the bankruptcy of a competitor.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, cost of revenues increased to $58.9 million from $56.4 million for the same period in 2013. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $19.2 million, which represented an increase of $1.5 million or 8.6% from $17.7 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to a gross profit increase of $1.3 million in the DATA East and West segment and a gross profit increase of $0.2 million in the Multiple Pakfold segment, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 24.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to 23.9% for the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, cost of revenues increased to $176.9 million from $175.6 million for the same period in 2013. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $55.9 million, which represented a decrease of $3.3 million or 5.6% from $59.2 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to a gross profit decrease of $3.6 million in the DATA East and West segment and was partially offset by a gross profit increase of $0.3 million in the Multiple Pakfold segment. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 24.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 25.2% for the same period in 2013.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Restructuring Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 decreased $0.4 million to $14.3 million compared to $14.7 million in the same period in 2013. As a percentage of revenues, these costs were 18.3% of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to 19.8% of revenues for the same period in 2013. SG&A expenses, excluding amortization of intangible assets, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $2.3 million to $43.4 million compared to $45.7 million for the same period of 2013. As a percentage of revenues, these costs were 18.6% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 19.4% of revenues for the same period in 2013. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to cost saving initiatives implemented in 2013. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, DATA Group incurred restructuring expenses related to headcount reductions of $0.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as part of its ongoing restructuring initiatives. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, DATA Group incurred restructuring expenses related to headcount reductions and lease exit charges of $0.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively, as part of its 2013 restructuring initiatives. The 2013 restructuring initiatives included closing facilities in Brockville, Ontario and Anjou, Québec and transferring the operations of The Fulfillment Solutions Advantage Inc. from Markham, Ontario to DATA Group's existing facility in Mississauga, Ontario.
Impairment of goodwill
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, market indicators, including the trading price of DATA Group's common shares and changes in revenue trends and forecasted profits indicated that DATA Group's assets may be impaired. As a result of this new information, DATA Group performed an impairment analysis by comparing the fair value of each cash generating unit ("CGU") to the CGU's carrying value. DATA Group determined the fair value of each CGU by discounting expected future cash flows in accordance with recognized valuation methods. The process of determining those fair values required DATA Group to make a number of estimates and assumptions such as projected future revenues, costs of revenues, operating margins, market conditions well into the future, and discount rates. As a result of that review, DATA Group concluded that the fair value of its DATA East and West CGU was less than its carrying value. Accordingly, DATA Group recognized an impairment of goodwill charge of $19.0 million related to the DATA East and West CGU.
Adjusted EBITDA
For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA was $6.2 million, or 7.9% of revenues. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased $1.8 million or 40.9% from the same period in the prior year and the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, as a percentage of revenues, increased from 5.9% of revenues in 2013 to 7.9% of revenues for the same period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $16.3 million, or 7.0% of revenues. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $1.2 million or 7.1% from the same period in the prior year and the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the nine month period, as a percentage of revenues, decreased from 7.5% of revenues in 2013 to 7.0% of revenues for the same period in 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was due to the increase in sales to existing customers, improvement in product mix, price increases passed through to customers for increased material costs and a decline in SG&A expenses as a result of prior restructuring initiatives. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to the continued investment in new products and services, a decline in revenues in the first and second quarters of 2014 due to pricing concessions and changes in product mix, and was partially offset by cost savings realized as a result of prior restructuring initiatives.
Interest Expense
Interest expense on long-term debt outstanding under DATA Group's credit facilities, DATA Group's outstanding 6.00% Convertible Debentures, certain unfavourable lease obligations related to closed facilities and DATA Group's employee benefit plans was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2013, and was $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2013. Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 was lower primarily as a result of reductions in discount rates used to measure DATA Group's employee benefit plans.
Income Taxes
DATA Group reported income before income taxes of $2.6 million, a current income tax expense of $0.1 million and a deferred income tax expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to loss before income taxes of $20.5 million, current income tax expense of $0.3 million and a deferred income tax recovery of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. DATA Group reported income before income taxes of $4.1 million, a current income tax expense of $0.1 million and a deferred income tax expense of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a loss before income taxes of $24.2 million, a current income tax expense of $1.9 million and a deferred income tax recovery of $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the current income tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to the reduction in taxable income as the result of the use of non-capital loss carry-forwards. The increase in the deferred income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to a change in estimates of future reversals of temporary differences.
Net Income
Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $1.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $20.2 million and $23.0 million, respectively, for same periods in 2013. The increase in comparable profitability for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to cost savings realized as a result of prior restructuring initiatives that led to a decline in SG&A expenses, a reduction in restructuring expenses, amortization of intangibles and current income tax expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014, respectively. The increase in comparable profitability for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was also due to the absence of any goodwill impairment charges during 2014. The increase in comparable profitability for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was due to the increase in sales to existing customers, improvement in product mix and price increases passed through to customers for increased material costs.
The increase in comparable profitability during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was partially offset by larger deferred income tax expense during 2014, respectively. The increase in comparable profitability for the first nine months of 2014 was partially offset by lower gross profit as a result of lower revenues.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $1.0 million related primarily to maintenance capital expenditures, which were financed by cash flow from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, DATA Group incurred capital expenditures of $1.8 million related primarily to maintenance capital expenditures, which were financed by cash flow from operations.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, DATA Group repaid $2.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of the principal amount outstanding under its Revolving Bank Facility.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this press release constitute "forward-looking" statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, objectives or achievements of DATA Group, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, objectives or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, words such as "may", "would", "could", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "intend", "plan", and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect DATA Group's current views regarding future events and operating performance, are based on information currently available to DATA Group, and speak only as of the date of this press release. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions and should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such performance or results will be achieved. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance, objectives or achievements of DATA Group to be materially different from any future results, performance, objectives or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The principal factors, assumptions and risks that DATA Group made or took into account in the preparation of these forward-looking statements include the risk that DATA Group will not be successful in reducing the size of its legacy print business, reducing costs, reducing or refinancing its long-term debt and growing its digital communications business; the risk that DATA Group may not be successful in managing its organic growth; DATA Group's ability to invest in, develop and successfully market new products and services; competition from competitors supplying similar products and services; DATA Group's ability to grow its sales or even maintain historical levels of its sales of printed business documents; the impact of economic conditions on DATA Group's businesses; risks associated with acquisitions by DATA Group; increases in the costs of paper and other raw materials used by DATA Group; and DATA Group's ability to maintain relationships with its customers.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this press release as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Unless required by applicable securities law, DATA Group does not intend and does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This press release includes certain non-GAAP measures as supplementary information. When used in this press release, EBITDA means earnings before interest and finance costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 means EBITDA adjusted for restructuring expenses and gains on the cancellation of convertible debentures purchased by DATA Group in the market, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 means EBITDA adjusted for restructuring expenses and goodwill impairment charges, respectively. DATA Group believes that, in addition to net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of DATA Group and its predecessors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not earnings measures recognized by IFRS and do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Investors are cautioned that neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of DATA Group's performance. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, see Table 2 above.
