Route1 realized a decrease in total revenue in the third quarter of 2014 as a result of a purchase of 7,000 MobiKEY Fusion devices by a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the third quarter of 2013. Route1 shipped and recognized revenue on 1,000 MobiKEY Fusion devices in Q3 2013, 2,000 MobiKEY Fusion devices in Q4 2013, and 4,000 MobiKEY Fusion devices in Q1 2014.
Importantly, during the third quarter of 2014, Route1 also realized further growth in revenue from subscribers (recurring revenue), both in the number of subscribers and the revenue per subscriber, for the third consecutive quarter.

The net increase in MobiKEY application software users (subscription revenue being the largest component of Route1's service revenue) is largely a result of continued growth from accounts within the U.S. Department of Defense.
Gross profit increased during the third quarter of 2014 to $1.110 million or 77% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $1.106 million or 75% of revenue in Q3 2013. Gross profit in 2014 and 2013 were both impacted by a write-down of the Classic version of the MobiKEY device. In the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, Route1 booked an expense of $56,983 and $81,640 respectively to write-down MobiKEY Classic device inventory.
Route1's Q3 2014 total comprehensive net income was $0.2 million compared to a comprehensive net loss of $0.1 million during the same period in 2013. Route1's YTD 2014 total comprehensive net income was $0.6 million compared to a comprehensive net loss of $0.3 million during the same period in 2013.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) during the third quarter of 2014 amounted to approximately $110,000 as compared to $22,000 in Q3 2013.

Tony Busseri, CEO of Route1, stated, "The third quarter showcased our continually improving operating results. As we work towards our stated goal of a sizable order from one or more of our large enterprise clients, we anticipate continued growth in services revenue and cash flow. Route1 is aggressively targeting a further sales increase. Adjusting for the MobiKEY Classic device write-down, Route1 generated $166,000 of EBITDA in the third quarter of 2014, the Company's best quarterly operating result realized to date without the benefit of a one-time device sale order."
During the third quarter of 2014, Route1 had net cash used in operating activities of $0.88 million. Route1's cash position is at its highest level during the second quarter of the fiscal year as a direct result of the timing of annual enterprise user subscription renewal payments. As at September 30, 2014, the Company had no bank debt and a cash balance of $2,601,328.

Paid, Active Subscribers
As at September 30, 2014, Route1 had 14,645 paying, active subscribers, an increase of 184 users from June 30, 2014. The net increase in MobiKEY application software users is a result of organic growth from accounts within the U.S. Department of Defense. Route1 expects further organic growth from these same accounts in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Business Development Update
Route1 has continued to leverage U.S. government reciprocity rules and the installed accredited infrastructure to grow the number of proof of concepts within the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). As a result, Route1 expects that as it continues to works towards closing large, enterprise deals, there will also be smaller account purchases from DOD components that will drive increased subscription revenue.
In addition, during the third quarter of 2014, Route1 received and fulfilled device orders from a component of the DOD for approximately 720 MobiKEY Fusion devices. The reported closing number of subscribers does not account for the expected user count growth attached to the device orders. The delay in "lighting up the users" is a result of a contracting issue related to the customer's transition to a next generation program. Route1 expects that in late Q4 2014 or early Q1 2015, the contracting issue will be resolved.
