DigiPath, Inc. Announces Second Fiscal Quarter 2016 Results
(firmenpresse) - LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 05/17/16 -- (OTCBB: DIGP) and (OTCQB: DIGP), a growth oriented independent testing laboratory and media firm focused on the developing cannabis market, today announced financial and operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016.
Ended quarter with $141,116 of net sales through our state-of-the-art Nevada cannabis testing lab, a quarter over quarter growth rate of over 38% from the first quarter''s net sales of $102,136
Signed three new customers to exclusive laboratory testing contracts in addition to the four new customers that were signed to exclusive contracts during the first fiscal quarter and have several customers who use us regularly as well
Decreased our net cash used in operating and investing activities in the aggregate by approximately $2.5 million, or 79%, from the comparative six months ended March 31, 2015
Our Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $(257,767), compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(366,570) for the first fiscal quarter, an improvement of approximately 30% on a quarter over quarter basis
Our Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended March 31, 2016 was $(624,337), compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(1,514,342) for the comparative six months ended March 31, 2015, an improvement of approximately 59% on a year over year basis
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before (i) other income (expense), (ii) interest income, (iii) interest expense, (iv) bad debts, (v) depreciation and amortization, (vi) impairment of development costs, (vii) non-cash expenses relating to share based payments recognized under ASC Topic 718, (viii) gain on early extinguishment of debt, and (ix) equity in losses of unconsolidated entity. We believe the use of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding our current financial performance; however, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measurements. Specifically, we believe Adjusted EBITDA results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain income and expenses that our management believes are not indicative of our core operating results, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is included below:
"Our second fiscal quarter demonstrated strong growth over our first fiscal quarter of 2016, which was our first real quarter of continuous operations for our cannabis testing lab in Las Vegas. While we are nowhere near full capacity, we are extremely pleased with our increasing revenues and implementation of our plan of operations. We have gained more market share than we had conservatively estimated by this time and are pleased to report that we have performed testing services for 16 of the potential 21 customers (several of whom have not harvested yet) that have been granted final certificates of operation from the State of Nevada. We further anticipate that the number of potential customers with State certificates will grow more than three-fold to over 60 by the end of May 2016. We have divested our non-producing assets and believe we are poised to aggressively expand our footprint as we demonstrate the success of our Las Vegas lab," explains DigiPath CEO Todd Denkin. "We have also partnered with 8 of the 11 dispensaries to provide our DigiPath Patient Handbooks to new customers."
