Marketwired Canada
Immunotec Inc. (TSX VENTURE:IMM), a Canadian based company and a leader in the
wellness industry (the "Company") today released its first quarter results for
the three-month period ended 31 January 2014.
"We are pleased with first quarter results and the collaborative efforts to
produce them" said Mr. Charles L. Orr, Immunotec's Chief Executive Officer.
FIRST QUARTER 2014 - FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- Total Revenues for the three-month period reached $16.2M, an increase of
32.6% as compared to the same period in the previous year.
-- Network sales for the three-month period reached $14.8M, an increase of
31.9% as compared to the same period in the previous year. We recorded
growth in Network sales revenue of 48.6% in Mexico and 21.3% in the US,
after adjustment for the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations.
-- Margin before expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased during the
three-month period ended 31 January 2014 to 26.4% as compared to 32.1%
in the same period in the previous year. This decrease is primarily a
result of increases in sales incentives during the three-month period.
-- Selected expenses,(1)defined as administrative, marketing and selling,
and quality and development expenses amounted to $3.5M in the three-
month period and measured favourably as a percentage of total revenues
by improving to 21.8% as compared to 25.3% in the same period in the
previous year.
-- Adjusted EBITDA,(1)amounted to $0.8M or 4.7% of total revenues in the
three-month period, compared to $0.8M or 6.8% of total revenues in the
same period in the previous year, primarily due to $0.4M in costs
related to our Annual Convention in Mexico, whereas there were no
equivalent charges in the same period in the previous year.
-- Net profit of $0.8M for the three-month period, compared $0.5M in the
same period in the previous year.

During the three-month period ended 31 January 2014, network sales were $14.8M
as compared to $11.2M for the same period in the previous year, an increase of
$3.6M or 31.9%. This increase was driven primarily by our Mexican operations, as
well as from growth in our western US operations.
Other revenue, which includes revenues of products sold to licensees (export
sales), freight and shipping and educational material purchased by our network
of independent consultants, increased to $1.4M compared to $1.0M in the previous
year, an increase of $0.4M or 40.9%, which is primarily attributable to
improvements in export sales.
Sales incentives paid to our Network is the Company's most significant expense
and consists of commissions, performance bonuses and other promotional
incentives provided to qualifying independent consultants. During the
three-month period ended 31 January 2014, sales incentives amounted to $8.0M or
54.0% of total Network sales compared to $5.4M or 48.1% of total Network sales
in the same period in the previous year. The most significant element of the
increase in the percentage of sales incentives during the three months ended 31
January 2014 is the costs in the amount of $0.4M related to the Company's Annual
Convention, which were not present in the same period in the previous year.
Selected expenses(1) in the three-month period ended 31 January 2014 amounted to
$3.5M or 21.8% of revenues, as compared to $3.1M or 25.3% or revenues for the
same period in the previous year. This result shows that the growth in revenues
during the three-month period ended 31 January 2014 was achieved without a
commensurate growth in these expenses, reflective of a continued disciplined
approach to these expenses.
For the three-month period ended 31 January 2014 adjusted EBITDA(1)was $0.8M or
4.7% of revenues, versus $0.8M or 6.8% for the same period in the previous year.
This was impacted by $0.4M in costs related to our Annual Convention in Mexico
whereas there were no equivalent costs in the same period in the previous year.
The various components of Adjusted EBITDA were relatively stable during the
three-month period except for a an additional $0.1M in income taxes and $0.4M in
net finance income, primarily the result of net foreign exchange impacts during
the current period.
Net profit for the three-month period ended 31 January 2014 totalled $0.8M, as
compared to net profit of $0.5M for the same period in the previous year. This
period-over-period improvement is primarily the result of revenue growth in
Mexico.
