GuestLogix Announces Preliminary Fiscal 2009 Fourth Quarter and Year-end Results

Company expects to deliver record results driven by unprecedented growth in onboard store technology deployments

TORONTO, ONJanuary 26, 2010 - GuestLogix Inc. (TSX-V: GXI) (“GuestLogix” or the “Company”), the world’s leading onboard store technology provider to the passenger travel industry, today announced operational and preliminary financial results for the three- and 12-month periods ended November 30, 2009. All figures cited in this release are based on preliminary, unaudited financial data and are subject to change as a result of the year-end audit process. All amounts are reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Management expects fiscal 2009 year-end and fourth quarter results to be as follows:

“Fiscal 2009 was a milestone year,” said Tom Douramakos, President and CEO, GuestLogix. “We increased our deployed passenger trips by nearly 100 percent, and grew our customer base, particularly in Europe, to 33 airlines and three rail companies worldwide. We also partnered with numerous content providers to launch destination-related onboard offerings, and commenced successful OnTouch program launches with two major U.S. carriers. As a result, we more than doubled revenues, generated strong EBITDA margins and achieved profitability. In addition, through the completion of a $7.2 million bought deal financing, we significantly strengthened our cash balance, well positioning us to continue to invest in the business to drive further growth.”

Mr. Douramakos added: “We expect our momentum to continue in fiscal 2010, and to build on our $24 million annualized recurring revenue run rate. We will work through our current deployment pipeline, while adding to our customer base by expanding our footprint, primarily in the Asia Pacific region, and entering the rail market in Europe. Another key focus for fiscal 2010 is to further demonstrate to airlines the benefits of destination-based onboard sales programs for growing revenue and increasing passenger loyalty. We will work with our customers to help them build and implement branded onboard stores, leveraging the early success we have seen with those customers who are already working with us on such initiatives.”

In March, GuestLogix will report complete audited results for the three– and 12-month periods ended November 30, 2009. The Company will host an earnings conference call at that time.
