47% Growth in Revenue Over Second Quarter 2006 and 26% Growth in Revenue
Over First Quarter 2007
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 1 /CNW/ - Genesis Worldwide Inc. ("Genesis" or the
"Company"), TSX/AIM: GWI, a leading provider of green structural building
technology using light steel, announces its financial results for the quarter
ended June 30, 2007. The Company reports its financial statements in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
reports in Canadian dollars.
Total revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 increased 47% to
$5,018,264, compared to $3,412,006 for the same period a year ago, and a
sequential growth of 26% from the first quarter of 2007.
Revenue from the licensing division for the second quarter of 2007 was
$2,677,846, reflecting an increase of 13,065%, compared to the same quarter a
year ago, and a sequential growth of 279% from the first quarter of 2007.
Revenue for the licensing division recorded for the second quarter of 2007 was
the highest revenue recorded in the Company's history.
Revenue from the structural products division for the second quarter of
2007 was $2,340,418, compared to $3,391,666 for the second quarter of 2006.
This decrease of 31% was due mainly to the stoppage in manufacturing activity
for a six-week period while the Company relocated its manufacturing operations
to its new facility in Vaughan, Ontario. Compared to the first quarter of
2007, revenue from this division decreased by 23%.
Overall contribution margins for the second quarter of 2007 improved to
$1,498,333, compared to $122,000 for the same quarter in 2006. This
improvement of 1,128% is a direct result of increased licensing activities and
an improvement in the contribution margins for structural products.
Contribution margin for structural products for the second quarter of 2007 was
16.1%, compared to 3.3% for the same period last year. This improvement is a
direct result of improvements made in the operations of the structural
products division.
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, loss before other expenses
was $952,529, compared to a loss of $2,203,762 for the second quarter a year
ago, and a loss of $1,174,732 for the first quarter of 2007. Net loss for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $1,727,168, or $0.08 per common share,
compared to a loss of $0.12 per common share for the second quarter of 2006,
and a loss of $0.10 per common share for the first quarter of 2007.
