Magor Announces Fiscal 2015 Results

OTTAWA, Aug. 28, 2015 /CNW/ - Magor Corporation (TSX-V:MCC), a global leader in visual collaboration solutions, today announced the financial results for the three and twelve-month period ended April 30, 2015.

"During the quarter we continued to execute on a strategy to focus on the delivery of software resulting in a three times increase in software revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 over the prior year," said Mike Pascoe, President and CEO of Magor Corporation. "Gross margins have increased over the prior fiscal year as the Company transitions to obtaining a higher portion of total revenues from software sales and recurring revenues. This is in line with the decision we made in the past year to re-focus efforts to higher margin products, while scaling back hardware sales in an effort to reduce our overall operating costs and manage working capital more efficiently."

Financial Highlights

• In fiscal 2015 the Company began executing on a strategy to focus on achieving higher margin sales to channel partners. The channel partners, at the same time, source the lower margin hardware components directly from other suppliers. This strategy results in lower total revenues to the Company, however, it reduces the investment in working capital requirements and increases overall gross margins. As a result of this shift in sales focus, the Company's total revenues grew by $213,000 (10%) from the prior year, while gross margins increased by $420,000 (40%) with the overall gross margins percentages increasing from 51% in fiscal 2014 to 65% in the current fiscal year.
• Total revenues increased by 65% to $700,443 in Q4 2015, compared to $424,558 in Q4 2014, and increased by 10% to $2,253,532 in FY 2015, compared to $2,040,430 in FY 2014.
• Software revenues increased by more than three times in Q4 2015 compared to prior year and increased by 56% in FY 2015, compared to FY 2014.
• Recurring revenues grew by 51% and 91% in the three and twelve-month periods ended April 30, 2015 over the comparable periods in the prior year.
