The Company completed its fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 with record revenue of $5.43 million, up 411% from $1.06 million in fiscal 2006. For fiscal 2007, recurring revenue was 87% of revenue, or approximately $4.73 million. The appreciation of the Canadian dollar, particularly against the U.S. dollar by 14% during fiscal 2007 negatively impacted revenues by approximately 5%. In the fourth quarter, revenues increased by 180% to $1,577,825, compared to $562,464 for the comparable period in 2006.
"Our revenue continues to grow at a rapid pace which reflects the popularity of our innovative on-board retail technology and platform service," said Tom Douramakos, President and CEO, GuestLogix. "As we secure the leading airline brands and grow our passenger trip global footprint we will position steadily to integrate third-party products and services that operators will want to offer through our Mobile Virtual StoreTM. This should lead us to additional profitable revenue growth in Fiscal 2008."
Operating expenses for the year ended November 30, 2007 increased to $6,819,202 from $2,574,108 in fiscal 2006. The increase was due to the continued strong growth of the Company and primarily driven by personnel costs, equipment sales costs, sales and marketing costs and professional fees.
EBITDA1 for the year ended November 30, 2007 was $32,377 compared to ($1,022,754) for the prior year.
Net loss for the year ended November 30, 2007, including non-cash interest accretion charges and stock based compensation expenses totaling $2,186,228, was $3,720,483 or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2,289,780, including non-cash accretion and stock based compensation expenses totaling $541,055, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share last year.
