Intermap Technologies Reports 2017 Second Quarter Financial Results

DENVER, Aug. 10, 2017 /CNW/ - (TSX: IMP) (ITMSF:BB) – Intermap Technologies Corporation ("Intermap" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

All amounts in this news release are in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.

For the second quarter of 2017, Intermap reported total revenue of $4.5 million, compared to $0.9 million last year. Approximately 84% of consolidated revenue came from growing markets outside the United States, compared to 57% for the same period in 2016. A large portion of the increase was generated by customers utilizing Intermap's upgraded multi-frequency radar system. The mix of value-added revenue also improved, reflecting demand for our advanced data processing, software, and analytics. On a year-over-year basis, revenue for the second quarter derived from value-added data services, and software and solutions, increased by 123%, and 24%, respectively. Net operating loss for the second quarter decreased 94% to $0.2 million from $3.5 million in 2016. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP and non-IFRS financial measure, was positive $0.3 million, compared with negative $3.3 million for the same period last year.

"Intermap's gradual return to profitability extends our runway as we balance growth between government and commercial, recurring and project, international and domestic revenue sources", commented Patrick Blott, Intermap's Chairman and CEO. "In particular, healthy trends in contract renewals, project extensions, new bookings, and growth market penetration demonstrate customer confidence in Intermap's unique capabilities and execution."

As a reminder, last fall the Company adopted a no further guidance disclosure policy until it is profitable and its debt burden has been reduced.

Financial Review

The Company is focused on growing revenue and profitability.

Consolidated revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 totaled $4.5 million, compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2016, representing a 418% increase. Approximately 84% of consolidated revenue was generated outside the United States, compared to 57% for the same period in 2016.

Acquisition services revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 totaled $3.0 million, compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is due to new contracts for our upgraded, high resolution, multi-frequency radar system.

Value-added data services recognized revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 totaling $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from recurring service contracts that reflect growing global demand for our advanced data processing.

Software and solutions revenue for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 increased 24%, to $0.3 million from $0.2 million.

Personnel expense for the second quarter of 2017 was $2.2 million, a 15% decrease from $2.6 million the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in headcount on a year-over-year basis, following restructuring actions designed to focus the Company's resources on its core business.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP and non-IFRS financial measure, was positive $0.3 million, compared with negative $3.3 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excludes non-recurring and non-cash payments; restructuring costs, share-based compensation expense, gain or loss on foreign currency translation, and fair value adjustments to derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized performance measure under IFRS. The most directly comparable measure to adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is net income (loss). See Non-IFRS Measures below for a reconciliation of the Company's net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016.

The Company's consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis will be filed on SEDAR at: www.sedar.com. Important factors, including those discussed in the Company's regulatory filings (www.sedar.com) could cause actual results to differ from the Company's expectations and those differences may be material.

Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized performance measure under IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The term EBITDA consists of net income (loss) and excludes interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is included as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that such measurement provides a better assessment of the Company's operations on a continuing basis by eliminating certain non-cash charges and charges that are nonrecurring. The most directly comparable measure to adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is net income (loss).
