Complete Financial Statements are available on and the company''s website
"Whilst revenues were virtually unchanged for fiscal 2015, we covered an enormous amount of ground in 2015, in terms of product development, product trials, regulatory, marketing and other initiatives," said Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric. "In addition, we were also able to successfully transition our listing to the TSX from the TSX-V, during the latter part of the year," added Mr. Karon. "Despite incurring additional expenses of approximately $1 million in connection with these initiatives, in order to support future growth in both our divisions, we were still able to strengthen our balance sheet by both increasing our working capital and reducing long-term debt. Accordingly, I believe we are well placed to fund and achieve our growth expectations as discussed in "Business Outlook" below," concluded Hylton Karon.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK;
Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric Corp provided the following business outlook with regard to both divisions of the Company:
Intimate Apparel and Sleepwear
"During 2015, the apparel division''s main focus was on fine-tuning and consolidating existing programs in reaction to market demands. Certain ranges that were yielding lower than anticipated sell through at retail have been eliminated and there have been additions to product ranges that have been selling well at retail. At the same time, our design team has commenced designing the initial ranges for the new sleepwear category that was added to our Maidenform license agreement. Our design concepts were shown to a select number of customers in November 2015 and we are extremely encouraged by the initial responses. Our initial marketing effort for Maidenform sleepwear will take place during "Market Week" in February 2016, at which time we would expect to receive the first bookings for these products. This will be followed by the official market launch of Maidenform sleepwear during the fall of 2016.
For fiscal 2016 we are expecting a modest increase in revenues of around 10% for our apparel division, as it is customary for new ranges to be carried in a limited amount of stores initially. However, for fiscal 2017 we are projecting an increase in revenues in the 20% to 30% range as result of major customers expanding Maidenform sleepwear offerings and other new products to additional stores.
Intelligent Fabrics
Based on projections received to date from customers, we anticipate supplying formulations to treat approximately 30 million yards of textiles in calendar 2016. In addition, we are currently running bulk and mini trials for new potential customers and it is probable that additional yardages to be treated will be added during the course of the year.
For calendar 2017 we are projecting treating between 80 million and 100 million yards of textiles, as our treatments become integrated in the full annual production cycles of our existing customers and as new customers and programs are added. Our projections for 2017 also integrate the initial sales to customers for use in healthcare environments."
