VANCOUVER, March 1, 2018 /CNW/ - LITE ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: LTE)(OTC PINK: LTCCF), a world leader in the use of innovative and proven micro/narrow trenching technologies, alternate methods of deployment and specialist products which transform the cost of fibre optic network deployment for telecommunications operators, today reported its fiscal first quarter for the three months ended December 31, 2017.  The unaudited condensed interim financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") can be viewed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Financial Results

For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company generated revenues of $2,618,806 (December 31, 2016: $1,798,254).  This result represents a 46% increase in revenue and stems from the Company expanding its market share in the UK. 

The Company recorded a comprehensive loss of $940,526 (2016: comprehensive loss of $358,728) and an adjusted EBITDA* of $ (483,237) (2017: $ (174,598)). Adjusted EBITDA excludes share-based payments, interest and amortization. 

These results are in line with expectations and consistent with the investment phase in capital and operating expenditures required to build the foundations necessary to deliver the Company's dual strategy of securing recurring project revenues in North America and focusing on growth in international markets.

As at December 31, 2017, the Company has invested approximately £4.4 million ($7.7 million CAD) to establish operations and complete the foundation phase of expansion in the UK. Stemming from this investment, the Company expects to deliver significant growth in 2018.

The Company has a strong balance sheet and is well positioned for sustainable growth.  The strategic deployment of cash to date has allowed the Company to retain sufficient cash reserves of $13,017,174 (as at December 31, 2017) to fund the early stage, working capital requirements of the initial growth phase of the business.

As at December 31, 2017, the Company had 43,419,832 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

*Non-IFRS Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a measure not recognized under IFRS. However, management of Lite Access believes that most shareholders, creditors, other stakeholders and investment analysts prefer to have these measures included as reported measures of operating performance, a proxy for cash flow, and to facilitate valuation analysis. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, restructuring costs, impairment charges and other non-recurring gains or losses. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons.

Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Readers are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA is not an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS and should not, on its own, be construed as indicators of performance, cash flow or profitability. References to the Lite Access' Adjusted EBITDA should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of Lite Access posted on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Any such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by Lite Access in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to Lite Access' expectations and predictions is subject to any number of risks, assumptions and uncertainties.  Many factors could cause Lite Access' actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this news release. Such factors include, among other things: risks and uncertainties described in Lite Access's most recent Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) for the period ended December 31, 2017 which can be accessed at www.sedar.com.
