REGINA, SK, Dec. 6, 2021 /CNW/ - SSC Security Services Corp. (formerly Input Capital Corp.) ("SSC" or the "Company) (TSXV: SECU) (OTCQX: SECUF), a leading provider of physical and cyber security services, is pleased to release its results for the 2021 fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. All figures are presented in Canadian dollars.

"As I wrote in my October 4 letter to shareholders, our pivot to the security industry is moving along rapidly," said President & CEO Doug Emsley. "Over the last fiscal year, we have done two acquisitions, significantly wound down our legacy agriculture business and became a strong player in the physical and cyber security industries.

"Our rebranding is complete, and our balance sheet makes us one of the best capitalized companies in the Canadian security industry.  Our senior management team has over 70 years of experience building and operating profitable security companies, and as we head into a new fiscal year, we look forward to leveraging that experience and balance sheet to create value for our shareholders."

FY2021 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Over the year, we reduced our agriculture book from over $44 million to about $24.4 million, paid down $5.2 million in long-term debt, bought back 1.6 million shares outstanding via our NCIB, grew from 9 employees to about 625 employees, and increased our cash position by about $1.5 million. In addition, we pivoted from the agriculture industry to the security industry with two acquisitions:
    • On February 1, 2021, we acquired SRG Security Resource Group Inc. ("SRG"), a leading Canadian cyber security and physical security company based in Regina, Saskatchewan, for $19.4 million, subject to normal working capital and holdback adjustments. Of that purchase price, $12.3 million was paid in cash and 8,883,930 shares were issued at a fair value as at the date of acquisition of $7.1 million.
    • On July 10, 2021, the Company finalized an asset purchase agreement with Impact Security Group Inc. ("Impact") to purchase all Impact security and guard contracts in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The purchase price was $2.0 million, with $1.35 million in cash paid on closing and the balance to be paid as an earnout based on the performance of the contracts over the next twelve months.
  • Recorded full year revenue of $20.3 million, which includes only eight months of security-related revenue because the SRG acquisition closed on February 1. Security revenue represented 58.4% of revenue in the fiscal year.
  • Comprehensive after-tax net income of $1.9 million for the full fiscal year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $2.9 million ($0.05 per share) for the full fiscal year.
  • Increased our cash position by $1.5 million while repaying $5.2 million in long-term debt, bringing our total debt outstanding to approximately $2.5 million. Subsequent to year-end, we paid down another $2.065 million in debt.
  • Paid a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share, or $0.04 per share annualized.
  • We finished the fiscal year ended September 30 with:
    • Cash and cash equivalents of $28.8 million;
    • Loans and mortgages receivable of $12.5 million;
    • Total shareholders' equity of $75.9 million; and
    • Long-term debt of $2.5 million.

Key Performance Indicators for the COMPARABLE periods are summarized below:

REVENUE & NET INCOME

Revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 were $20.3 million compared with $25.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in revenues was due to the decline in crop revenue from a smaller book of canola contracts this year compared to last year, partially offset by eight months of security revenue resulting from the acquisition of SRG completed on February 1, 2021.

Revenue from agriculture was $8.4 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, compared to $25.6 million for the previous fiscal year. Revenue from security services was $11.8 million during the fiscal year. We expect agriculture revenue to continue declining, resulting in an increase in the proportion of our revenue associated with security.

Streaming Contract Portfolio

As of September 30, 2021, we have active streaming contracts with 26 farmers, primarily located in Saskatchewan. We expect this number to drop rapidly over the next fiscal year, reducing agriculture to a tiny part of our business.

UPDATE ON NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

On December 29, 2020, we announced the renewal of the Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB), allowing the company to buy back up to 3,400,000 of its Class A common shares during the 2021 calendar year. Under our NCIB, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, we bought back a total of 1,602,409 shares at an average price of $0.87 per share (on a pre-consolidation basis).

We continue to believe that our shares have been trading in a price range which does not adequately reflect their value and that the purchase of shares under the NCIB will enhance shareholder value in general.

OUTLOOK

Our book of canola streaming contracts continues to decline rapidly as farmers take advantage of low interest rates and high canola prices to refinance and/or buy out of their contracts with us. This means that we have become a security company much faster than we originally expected.

Further, the remaining volume of our agriculture business has shrunk to such an extent that the impact of the price of canola on our financial results is small. Future growth will be in the security segment, in part from organic growth as SRG wins new contracts, and via acquisition, as SSC and SRG look to acquire other companies in the Canadian cyber and physical security space(s).

We plan to continue to distribute capital to shareholders via the dividend, eliminate our debt while maintaining solid liquidity, and focus on maximizing Adjusted EBITDA on a per share basis.

The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty within international markets could impact the Company's financial performance for the year ended September 30, 2022 and, possibly, beyond. The financial impact will be dependent on the spread and duration of the pandemic and on related restrictions and government advisories. We have not seen any material impact on our agriculture business to date, but we have seen some shifting of client demand for security services as a result of COVID. Demand is smaller in certain market segments, such as airport security services, but higher in other segments. Given the balance of uncertainties, the long-term financial impact on the Company, if any, cannot be determined with any certainty. Taken together, COVID-19 has not had a material impact on the results of our agriculture business or on our security business.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2021, the Company changed its name from Input Capital Corp. to SSC Security Services Corp. and changed its ticker symbol on the TSX Venture Exchange from "INP" to "SECU" in conjunction with a 1-for-3 share consolidation. In keeping with this change, the quarterly dividend has been adjusted from $0.01 per share to $0.03 per share.

On October 8, 2021, we paid off $2.065 million in long term debt, leaving a balance outstanding of only $0.475 million.

On November 15, 2021, the Company's shares began trading on the OTCQX in the United States, under the symbol "SECUF".

*Non-IFRS Measures

SSC measures key performance metrics established by management as being key indicators of the Company's strength, using certain non-IFRS performance measures, including:

  • Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA per share.

The Company uses these non-IFRS measures for its own internal purposes.
