Tix Corporation (the "Company") (OTCQX: TIXC), a leading provider of discount ticketing services, today reported results for the second quarter and first six months ended June 30, 2013.

Tix Corporation's business is operated by its wholly owned subsidiary Tix4Tonight, which sells discount show tickets from eleven locations in Las Vegas. Tix4Tonight obtains its inventory of discount tickets under short-term exclusive and non-exclusive agreements with nearly every Las Vegas show along with numerous attractions and tours. The majority of our discount ticket locations also offer discount dinner reservations at various restaurants surrounding the Las Vegas strip and downtown.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Second quarter 2013 revenues decreased 17% to $5.2 million compared with $6.2 million for the same period a year ago. The decline in revenues of $1.0 million was caused by large scale construction and renovation projects on the Las Vegas strip requiring us to close two of our discount ticket locations; one in April 2012 and another in February 2013. Revenues were also negatively impacted by the continued general decrease in consumer spending in Las Vegas.

Second quarter 2013 direct operating expenses decreased 17% to $2.1 million compared with $2.6 million for the same period a year ago. Included in these expenses are payroll costs, rents, and utilities. The decrease in expense of $439,000 was due to $169,000 in reduced rents and utilities expense and $125,000 in reduced payroll costs realized in connection with the closure of two of our discount ticket locations as discussed above, and $145,000 in reduced rents at one of our discount ticket locations in the second half of calendar year 2012.

Second quarter 2013 selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.1 million compared with $2.7 million for the same period a year ago. Included in these expenses are $220,000 of aggregate expenses during the first three months of 2013 and $532,000 of aggregate expenses during the same period a year ago, in each case relating to expenses for certain non-recurring matters requiring legal and advisory services relating to corporate and governance matters and litigation expenses. Excluding these expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $208,000, or 10%, to $1.9 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in expenses of $208,000 was realized in connection with the closure of two of our discount ticket locations as discussed above and our continual efforts to manage our overall expenses.

Second quarter 2013 net income was $579,000, or $0.02 per diluted common share, as compared to a net income of $95,000, or $0.00 per diluted common share, reported for the same period a year ago. Adjusted Earnings (as defined and explained below) for the second quarter 2013, which includes adjustments for items such as discontinued operations and expenses related to litigation and related legal matters described below, was $1.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share, as compared to Adjusted Earnings of $1.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, reported for the same period a year ago.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

For the first six months of 2013, revenues decreased 13% to $10.4 million compared with $12.1 million for the same period a year ago. The decline in revenues of $1.6 million was caused by large scale construction and renovation projects on the Las Vegas strip requiring us to close two of our discount ticket locations; one in April 2012 and another in February 2013. Revenues were also negatively impacted by the continued general decrease in consumer spending in Las Vegas.

For the first six months of 2013, direct operating expenses decreased 17% to $4.5 million compared with $5.4 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in expense of $906,000 was due to $301,000 in reduced rents and utilities expense and $315,000 in reduced payroll costs realized in connection with the closure of two of our discount ticket locations as discussed above, and $290,000 in reduced rents at one of our discount ticket locations in the second half of calendar year 2012.

For the first six months of 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.5 million compared with $5.6 million for the same period a year ago. Included in these expenses are $620,000 of aggregate expenses during the first six months of 2013 and $1.4 million of aggregate expenses during the same period a year ago, in each case relating to expenses for certain non-recurring matters requiring legal and advisory services relating to corporate and governance matters and litigation expenses. Excluding these expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $317,000, or 8%, to $3.9 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in expenses of $317,000 was realized in connection with the closure of two of our discount ticket locations as discussed above and our continual efforts to manage our overall expenses.

For the first six months of 2013, net income was $816,000, or $0.03 per diluted common share, as compared to a net loss of ($200,000), or ($0.01) per diluted common share, reported for the same period a year ago. Adjusted Earnings (as defined and explained below) for the first six months of 2013, which includes adjustments for items such as discontinued operations and expenses related to litigation and related legal matters described below, was $2.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share, as compared to Adjusted Earnings of $3.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, reported for the same period a year ago.

Conclusion

Mitch Francis, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We opened two new locations during July and August of 2013. These locations are placed at highly trafficked pedestrian walkways and intersections and we are hopeful that these new locations will counter the negative impact during the first half of 2013 resulting from the closure of one of our locations in April 2012 and more recently, one of our major locations in February 2013, caused by large scale construction and renovation projects in Las Vegas. We are hopeful that consumer spending in Las Vegas will improve and that with these two new locations, our future revenues will improve."

Investor Conference Call

The Company does not host a conference call following its earnings release. Investors are encouraged to contact the Company's investor relations officer, Steve Handy, CFO, at (818) 761-1002 with any questions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Included in this press release is a "non-GAAP financial measure," which is a measure of the Company's historical or future performance that is different from measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP but that the Company believes is useful to investors. The Company defines Adjusted Earnings as net income plus (a) loss on discontinued operations, (b) interest expense, net, (c) income taxes, (d) depreciation and amortization charges, (e) stock based compensation expense (f) unusual litigation, and (g) expenses for certain non-recurring matters requiring legal and advisory services relating to corporate and governance matters. The Company believes that Adjusted Earnings is a useful measure of the Company's operating performance because a significant portion of its assets consists of goodwill and intangible assets and property and equipment that are amortized and depreciated as non-cash items over their remaining useful lives in accordance with GAAP. The Company's presentation of Adjusted Earnings may help investors assess the Company's performance before the effect of various items that do not directly affect the Company's ongoing operating performance. The Company also believes that measures similar to the Company's measurement of Adjusted Earnings are widely used in similar entertainment companies to measure operating performance, although Adjusted Earnings as calculated by the Company is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures by such other companies. Adjusted Earnings (a) does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, (b) is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund the Company's cash flow needs, and (c) should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or the Company's other financial information as determined under GAAP.
