3rd Quarter Results
Genesis Worldwide Inc. Announces Record Third Quarter Fiscal 2007 Results
61% Growth in Revenue Over Third Quarter 2006 and 40% Growth in Revenue
Over Second Quarter 2007
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 7 /CNW/ - Genesis Worldwide Inc. ("Genesis" or the
"Company"), (TSX/AIM: GWI), a leading provider of 'green' structural building
technology using light steel, is pleased to announce its financial results for
the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. The Company reports its financial
statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") and reports in Canadian dollars.
The Company's unaudited interim consolidated Financial Statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007, are filed with the Canadian securities regulatory
authorities, and can be accessed at www.sedar.com.
Financial Highlights
- Total revenue increased 61% in the third quarter ended September 30,
2007 to $7,037,823, compared to $4,365,710 for the third quarter of
2006. This represents growth of 40% from the second quarter of 2007.
- Revenue for the licensing division recorded for the third quarter of
2007 was the highest revenue recorded in the Company's history.
Revenue from this division for the third quarter of 2007 was
$3,239,065, reflecting an increase of 998%, compared to $294,866 for
the same period a year ago. This represents growth of 21% from the
second quarter of 2007.
- Revenue from the structural products division for the third quarter
of 2007 was $3,798,758, compared to $4,070,844 for the third quarter
of 2006. Compared to the second quarter of 2007, revenue from this
division increased by 62%. The decrease of 7% in this quarter,
compared to the third quarter of 2006, was due mainly to the training
required for new employees after the Company relocated its
manufacturing operations to its new facility in Vaughan, Ontario.
- Overall contribution margin for the third quarter of 2007 increased
to $2,486,840, compared to $324,069 for the same period in 2006. This
improvement of 668% is a direct result of increased licensing
activities and an improvement in the contribution margin for
structural products. Contribution margin for structural products for
the third quarter of 2007 was 18.3%, compared to 3.3% for the same
period last year. This improvement is a result of efficiencies made
in the operations of the structural products division.
- Net loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $872,748,
or $0.03 per common share, compared to a loss of $2,147,700, or
$0.10 per common share for the third quarter of 2006, and a loss of
$1,727,168, or $0.08 per common share for the second quarter of 2007.

Strategic Update
During the quarter, Genesis made significant progress on some of its core
strategies, including the following:
Focus on licensing activities
- Completed shipment of C4 industrial equipment to Dubai and California
licensees.
- Spain licensee has begun supplying its local market using the Genesis
Solution.
Commercializing structural products division
- Completed move into the new facilities in Vaughan, Ontario and are
currently manufacturing at rates higher than at the old facility.
- Signed three new contracts with first-time customers in Q3 2007.
Ongoing research and development
- Placed order for new material optimizing technology (MOT). This new
technology is expected to be installed during Q1 2008.
"The results for our third quarter reflect the continued execution of our
strategy," stated Vince Mifsud, Genesis' President and Chief Executive
Officer. "We delivered technology and industrial equipment to two new
licensees during the quarter. This brings us to a total of five licensees who
have received our technology and industrial equipment this year. Our Spain and
California licensees are currently producing 'green' light steel structures
and we expect two more licensees to be fully commissioned by the end of 2007.
Our structural products division is now manufacturing at expected levels
following the move to our new facility and the training of new staff. Our
focus now is to deploy our new industrial coil-to-panel (CTP) line in Vaughan
by the end of Q1 2008, which we expect will improve manufacturing productivity
significantly."
