From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER:
- Sales increase of 6% vs. year ago.
- Continued profitability.
- Cash increase of 18% vs. previous quarter and 59% vs. year ago.
- Working capital increase of 3% vs. previous quarter and 36% vs. year ago.
"We are pleased to see continued positive results in the first quarter of Fiscal 2010, with both sales and cash increasing vs. year ago" said Paul Baehr, IBEX CEO.
"As expected, this quarter did not compare favourably with the robust previous quarter, which contained a significant one-time gain related to our successful currency hedging, and which also typically has higher sales than the first quarter.
"Looking forward, we expect full-year operational profitability (which excludes currency or hedging effects) at about the same level as last year", said Mr. Baehr.
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER
Sales for the quarter ended October 31, 2009 totaled $646,656, an increase of 6% as compared to $612,430 to the same period in the prior year, but representing a decrease of 25% vs. the exceptionally strong previous quarter.(on average the 4th quarter of the years is significantly higher than the first quarter.
Sales of arthritis assays increased by 125% vs. year ago, and increased 56% vs. the previous quarter. Sales of enzymes decreased by 5% vs. the previous year, and were down by 31% vs. the strong previous quarter. This result was due to shipment-timing, rather than a decrease in orders, as orders for enzyme related devices continues to grow.
Net earnings for the quarter ended October 31, 2009 were $71,877 ($0.00 per share), compared to net earnings of $337,414, ($0.01 per share) for the same period year ago. The decrease in net earning is mainly due to a negative $256,331 currency swing, as the strengthening of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar produced a currency loss of $44,712 versus a gain of $211,619 a year ago.
Excluding the foreign exchange swings, expenses during the quarter increased 9% vs. year-ago. This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in employee-related cost and the increase of the level of business activity vs. year ago.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities increased 18% during the quarter to $2,661,569. The Company's working capital was $2,930,953 as at the end of the first quarter ended October 31, 2009 and up from $2,838,635 as at the end of the prior quarter ending July 31, 2009.

LOOKING FORWARD
IBEX has been successful in bringing its existing business to profitability and is now turning its attention to pursuing growth opportunities, including further growing its base business, and maximizing shareholder value through strategic initiatives with companies where increased market strength and synergies might be obtained.
The Company expects to see increasing sales volume, and a healthy profit margin, due to robust orders for its enzymes and arthritis assays, however, the declining value of the US$ (our currency- of-sale) will have a negative impact on recorded sales and profits when compared to Fiscal 2009 in which the company booked a $408,710 hedging gain.
