TORONTO, June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iLOOKABOUT Corp. (TSXV:ILA; OTCQB:ILATF) (“ILA” or “the Company”) today announced that its Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) are available at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at http://www.ilookabout.com/investor-relations/financial-information. Shareholders may request a hard copy of this material by directing their request to: iLOOKABOUT Corp., Office of the CFO, 408-383 Richmond Street, London ON, N6A 3C4.ILA has achieved numerous milestones over the course of 2019, highlighted by the acquisition of the Clarocity operating assets and the establishment of a credit facility with the Bank of Montreal. It also experienced significant growth in revenue for both the fourth quarter (119% increase year-over-year) and full year of 2019 (62% increase year-over-year). As the Company continues to execute on its growth strategy, it has leveraged the profitability and high gross margins from its software and data licensing products to extract the full value out of Clarocity by cleaning up its balance sheet while still maintaining a consolidated positive Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2019.“It is still early days in the turnaround of Clarocity and the global pandemic has certainly delayed our expected growth, but due to the recurring nature of our property tax group we have been able to invest in this vast growth opportunity,” said Gary Yeoman, Chair and Chief Executive Officer. “The macroeconomic factors remain strong for our platforms and we remain optimistic about the future of the company as a whole. In addition to the organic growth opportunities, we are very excited about being able to leverage our strong financial resources and supporters to execute on inorganic initiatives.”Highlights of Financial Results:Discussion with respect to the above noted results can be found in the Company’s MD&A.
1 Clarocity Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Clarocity”) was acquired July 18, 2019. Revenue attributable to Clarocity for the period of July 18, 2019 to December 31, 2019, being approximately $5.087 million, has been included in ILA’s consolidated revenue.2 Adjusted EBITDA is an unaudited non-GAAP measure and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other reporting issuers. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful information with respect to the financial performance and value of the Company, as items that may obscure the underlying trends in the business performance are excluded. Adjusted EBITDA is defined and calculated by the Company as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation/amortization of property and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets, share-based compensation expense, foreign exchange gains (losses) recorded through profit and loss, and other costs or income that are: (i) non-operating; (ii) non-recurring; and/or (iii) are related to strategic initiatives. The Company classifies income or costs as non-recurring if income or costs similar in nature are not reasonably expected to occur within the next two years nor have occurred during the prior two years, and such costs are significant.Q1 2020 Filings Update:The Company also wishes to provide an update on the status of the filing of its Q1 2020 filings, which include the interim financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “Interim Q1 2020 Filings”) and the CEO and CFO certifications of the Interim Q1 2020 Filings, as discussed in the Company’s previous news releases on June 8, 2020.The Company is continuing to work diligently and expeditiously with its auditors and intends to file the Interim Q1 2020 Filings on or before July 31, 2020.
