Symbility Solutions Announces Year End Results for 2014

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - March 30, 2015) - Symbility Solutions Inc. (the "Corporation"), (TSX VENTURE: SY), a global software company dedicated to developing cloud-based applications for the insurance industry, today reported that revenue increased by 27% to $27.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. This compares to revenues of $21.9 million in FY 2013 and is an increase of $5.9 million.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $833,000 and represents a basic and fully diluted loss per share of $0.00. This compares to a loss of $4.7 million in FY 2013. Included in the net loss for the year were non-cash amortization and stock-based compensation of $3.9 million, compared to non-cash amortization and stock-based compensation of $4.7 million in FY2013.

Swayze continued, "We have successfully rolled out additional services and product offerings to our customers, including our live video collaboration tool Symbility Video Connect, which has gained traction in the industry and we believe it will change the way insurers interact with their customers. Symbility remains focused on innovating ways to take the policyholders experience to new levels."

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure that facilitates period-to-period operating comparisons. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings (loss) prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB. All other financial measures referenced herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards unless stated otherwise.
