Announces Conference Call to be held on Thursday, August 14th at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time
SCOTTSDALE, AZ and CALGARY, AB, July 30, 2014 /CNW/ - RDX Technologies Corporation ("RDX" or the "Company") (TSXV: RDX, OTCQX:
RGDEF, FSE:RL7), a water treatment and energy technology company, today announced
financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
Fiscal 2014 highlights:
-
Revenues more than doubled from $16.4MM to $33.7MM
-
Adjusted EBITDA improved from a loss of $4.34MM to positive $553,449
Recent operating highlights:
-
Sold excess Santa Fe Springs real estate holdings for $12.5MM
-
Increased balance sheet cash to $6MM from Santa Fe Springs and franchise
sales
-
Converted to methyl ester fuel refining and direct ion exchange refining
-
Began direct service program for waste water producers that includes
transportation
-
Started work to expand waste water operations in Virginia, New York,
Ohio, and Arizona
-
Completed first pipeline right of way in Odessa, Texas for the delivery
of water to oil and gas operators
-
Completing initial survey work and planning for new pipeline and
treatment facilities in Midwest Wyoming
Dennis M. Danzik, Chief Executive Officer of RDX, stated, "We are
extremely pleased with both our financial and operational performance
in fiscal 2014. As expected, we again achieved significant growth by
more than doubling revenues and reporting the Company's first positive
adjusted EBITDA. In addition, we are extremely well positioned to
continue this strong growth for the foreseeable future. As a company,
we utilized our fourth quarter as a cleanup period to correct the many
challenges at the Carthage facility that were created prior to our
acquisition of the facility. RDX's refined fuel now exceeds our
customers and regulators expectations. In fact, Omega Proteins has
chosen to highlight our energy products in several press releases. We
expect to see more of our customers recognizing RDX in a very positive
light over the next several months."
"In the coming months, we expect to move the Company forward through the
aggressive sale of additional franchise operations in Arizona, Texas,
Ohio, Virginia, and Georgia. We also have active negotiations taking
place in Canada and Europe."
Mr. Danzik continued, "RDX has demonstrated its ability to acquire and
integrate underperforming assets, install our proprietary technologies,
direct sound engineering practices, enhance operations, implement
strict financial controls, and thereby improve both revenue and
profitability. In the face of this type of growth, controlling
finances and budgets is difficult, but the management and staff at RDX
are performing well. RDX has developed a highly scalable business model
that will enable us to maintain strong growth and enhance profitability
in the months and years ahead."

We believe that presenting EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to
investors because they provide important information concerning our
operating performance exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA demonstrate our ability to execute our
financial strategy, which includes reinvesting in waste water related
capital assets to ensure a high level of product quality, investing in
capital assets to facilitate growth in our energy business,
repurchasing our common stock, and maintaining and improving our market
position through business optimization. These measures have
limitations. Although amortization and share-based payment expenses
are considered operating costs in accordance with IFRS and US GAAP,
they represent the allocation of non-cash costs generally associated
with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior years and
non-cash compensation primarily for our employees. Our definition of
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures presented by other companies.
