TORONTO, ON (August 28, 2015) - EQ Inc. (TSXV: EQ) ('EQ Works') a leader in audience targeting for mobile, social, video, and display advertising today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. Total revenue for the quarter was approximately $1 million, relatively consistent with the $1.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and an increase of 7% from the first quarter of 2015. The adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter was approximately $0.4 million, representing a 55% improvement from the second quarter of 2014 and 42% improvement when compared the first quarter of 2015.

Highlights for the Second Quarter ended June 30, 2015

  • Sequential revenue growth of 7%
  • Launched 'ATOM', a new self-service digital media buying solution for small businesses
  • Signed eight new agency partners during the quarter

'In addition to adding new clients and delivering great campaign results for our existing clients, we are extremely proud of the launch of ATOM, a media buying tool for small businesses' said Geoffrey Rotstein, President and CEO. 'With the launch of ATOM, we have provided small businesses with a powerful media buying solution that allows them to compete with larger brands.'

The Company continued its cost reduction efforts during the quarter and is confident that as sales continue to climb, positive earns and cash flow will be achieved. 'Although we know that sustained growth is essential, by continuing to add new clients and grow our existing relationships we know we are on the right path. This progress on the financial side of the business, together with our expertise and leading solutions for mobile distribution, is expected to shape our progress for the coming quarters'.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We measure the success of our strategies and performance based on Adjusted EBITDA, which is outlined and reconciled with net income (loss) in the section entitled 'Reconciliation of Net Loss for the period to Adjusted EBITDA' in the MD&A. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from operations before; (a) depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of domain properties and other intangible assets; (b) share-based payments, (c) restructuring, (d) impairment of goodwill and domain properties and other intangible assets, (e) Income tax expense and recovery, and (f) finance income and costs, net. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the Company's operating performance because it provides information related to the Company's ability to provide operating cash flows for working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and potential acquisitions. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in its industry.

The non-IFRS financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of IFRS financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-IFRS financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-IFRS financial measures having the same or similar names. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-IFRS adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from the Company's non-IFRS measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
