Vigil Health Solutions Reports Annual and Quarterly Results

VICTORIA, BC--(Marketwired - June 22, 2015) - Vigil Health Solutions Inc. ("Vigil") (TSX VENTURE: VGL) announces the results of operations for the fiscal year and the fourth quarter, ending March 31, 2015.

Highlights

• Revenue of $4.62 million compared to $5.12 million in fiscal 2014.
• Earnings were $152 thousand compared to $265 thousand in fiscal 2014.
• Sales bookings of $4.64 million in sales bookings compared to $5.29 million in 2014.
• Delivered the first Vigil Essential, a new, simplified wireless resident call system built around the needs of small Assisted Living Facilities.
• Vigil Mobile, a smart phone application that allows clients to see all active calls completed beta testing.

"While we were pleased to see another consecutive year of profitable operations we were unable to match the strong fourth quarter in fiscal 2014 that resulted from the completion of two large Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) projects. This largely explains the lower revenue and earnings year over year. While the increased activity in assisted living (including dementia care) fits well with our product mix these deals are substantially smaller than CCRCs. We remain focused on these large campuses while also improving the products targeted at the more prolific assisted living market and in particular the large number of small facilities," stated Troy Griffiths, President and CEO of Vigil Health Solutions Inc.

Financial Results

Sales bookings for the year ended March 31, 2015 were $4.64 million compared to $5.29 million in the year ended March 31, 2014. The decrease largely related to a decline in the number of sales contracts closed in one territory that had experienced human resource changes.

At March 31, 2015 Vigil had a backlog of approximately $2.99 million (including $918 thousand in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) unchanged from $2.99 million (including $1.14 million in deposits and progress billings, recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet) at March 31, 2014.

Vigil records revenue following completion of the installation and commissioning of the product at the customer site which is indicated by customer acceptance. The timing of the installation of Vigil's products is often dependent on facility construction schedules, which can result in a considerable lag between receipt of contracts and revenue recognition. The Company's backlog includes all contracts signed including those in progress but not completed.

Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2015 was $4.62 million compared to $5.12 million in the year ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of 10%. Project revenue made up 56% of total revenue; the remaining revenue came from follow on sales to existing customers. These sales include service and maintenance billings and replacement products including wireless devices and communication equipment and were up 14% over fiscal 2014. The decline in project revenue reflects a decrease in the number of project installations completed in the year. There were 43 projects completed in fiscal 2015 with an average value of $60 thousand compared to $47 thousand with an average value of $71 thousand in fiscal 2014. Installation size reflects the type of facility sales made. In fiscal 2014 there were a greater number of large Continuing Care Retirement Communities, these projects are usually in the $200-$300 thousand dollar range. In fiscal 2015 the majority of installations were smaller assisted living and stand alone dementia care.

The gross margin percentage for the year ended March 31, 2015 was 50% compared to 47% for the year ended March 31, 2014. The appreciating United States dollar increased gross margins past management expectations of between 42% and 47%.

Operating expenditures for the year ended March 31, 2015 were $2.21 million compared to $2.19 million for the same period ended March 31, 2014.

Net income for the year ended March 31, 2015 was $152 thousand, or $0.009 per share, compared to $265 thousand, or $0.016 per share per share, for the previous year. The decline in earnings reflects the 10% decrease in revenue.

Non-IFRS Measure

For the year ended March 31, 2014, we are disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure, as a supplementary indicator of operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before, interest, income taxes, amortization, stock based compensation and currency gains or losses including derivative foreign exchange differences. We are presenting the non-IFRS financial measure in our filings because we use it internally to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and to evaluate our performance and because we believe that our current and potential investors and analysts use the measure to assess current and future operating results and to make investment decisions.
