Key Financial Information
Values in this release are in thousands, except for percentages and per share data
Third quarter revenue was $1,909 an increase of $185 from $1,724 in the same three month period of the last fiscal year. The 11% increase was driven by the sales of work-alone safety monitoring products through the past year and the resulting recurring service revenue, including Blackline''s increasingly popular Loner Complete leasing program.
Gross margin for the quarter was $1,024 compared to $739 in the comparable three month period of the prior year. The gross margin percentage was 54% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to 43% in same quarter of fiscal 2015-the increase being attributable to the shift in revenue to a more service-based model.
Adjusted EBITDA for the period ended July 31, 2016 was $(148) compared to $(180) for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in the adjusted EBITDA in the period was a result of increased wages and benefits due to the additional staff required to support sales growth, offset by the increased sales revenue generated in the period.
