Mobivity Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results; Provides Business Update
PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 05/16/13 -- Mobivity Holdings Corporation (OTCQB: MFON), an award-winning provider of proprietary mobile marketing technologies and solutions, announced today first quarter financial results for the three-month period ending March 31st, 2013.
- Q1, 2013 gross margins increased to 72%, up from 64% in Q1, 2012.
- Q1, 2013 gross profit increased 15% to $743,371 from $645,437 in Q1, 2012.
- Adjusted EBITDA improved 61% to ($152,706) from ($395,748) in Q1, 2012.
- Net cash provided by operating activities improved $388,836 to $60,489, from a net cash used by operating activities of ($328,347) in Q1 2012.
Dennis Becker, President & CEO was quoted as saying -- "Historically our revenues have been comprised of both shorter term, yet larger, national brand campaigns coupled with a portion of customers on recurring agreements. This has resulted in a relatively dynamic revenue profile for the business. In the last eighteen months we've made great strides in growing our focus on delivering services to the local advertiser market -- a market that's historically spent $130B on traditional marketing channels such as print, TV, or radio. Unlike larger, national brand marketing campaigns, local advertisers consume our services through a longer term, higher margin recurring license arrangement. The net effect is that our customer base is increasingly Software-as-a-Service oriented, is less concentrated, more scalable, and yields a higher margin recurring revenue composite. This has resulted in our continued growth in gross profit and narrowing EBITDA loss. The next phase of our growth will be driven by amplifying this model and scaling sales and marketing resources to acquire market share more quickly."
Business Update
The Company has continued to further its penetration of the Local Advertising market by delivering its Software as a Service (SaaS) platform to more than 6,700 locations nationwide. In addition, the following key business development milestones have been achieved that provide additional access for the Company to the Local Advertiser market:
- Completion of the acquisition of the Stampt mobile loyalty app.
- Deployment of Stampt across more than 90 Whole Foods locations nationwide.
- Growing monthly mobile marketing transactional volume to more than 12 million monthly engagements.
Mobivity has also continued to see success from the Sports and Entertainment industry with several notable wins including:
- Successful execution of mobile marketing campaigns in and around the 2013 Final Four event.
- Recent major motion picture campaign that generated more than 200,000 daily interactions.
- Three-year contract with the Minnesota Wild.
The Company has recently initiated activities to explore various mobile payment product strategies relating to its recent partnership with CheckAlt. It is anticipated that mobile payments will become a natural extension to mobile marketing by local advertisers and Mobivity is exploring product and technology opportunities that could leverage its more than 6,700 end users with mobile payments.
