Smart Move, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Revenue grows 35% year-over-year
Denver, Colorado — August 15, 2007 —Smart Move, Inc. (AMEX: MVE) ), a Denver-based asset logistics manager providing a unique and increasingly popular alternative solution for transporting household and commercial goods today announced reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Recent Highlights:
| • | | Revenue of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, representing 35% growth over the same period a year ago. |
| • | | The company has added 3,833 new SmartVault™ containers in the first half of 2007. |
| • | | More than 410 “moves in progress” at June 30, 2007, representing approximately $1.4 million in future revenue. |
| • | | Smart Move launched its affiliate sales program for booking interstate moves with its nationwide moving partners. |
| • | | Arpin Van Lines and the Star Move AllianceSM are aggressively marketing their affiliation with Smart Move and their utilization of the SmartVault™ for consumer and military moves. |
“Smart Move has consistently increased sales in our primary move bookings and has continued to develop new sales opportunities with a variety of national van lines,” said Chris Sapyta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Smart Move. “Currently, we are interviewing candidates to expand our services into Canada as well as developing marketing channels with major web portals and relocation entities. We are encouraged by the progress of these discussions and how our services are being viewed and accepted in the marketplace. As we continue to work to establish our brand and improve our model, I believe the increased number of inquiries from several national van lines validates our service offering and the value propositions that we can deliver to the consumer and to the moving industry,”
Financial Results
Smart Move’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $1.3 million, a 35% increase from the same period last year. Net loss for the quarter was $2.5 million compared to a net loss of $3.4 million for same period a year ago. The decrease in the net loss is due primarily to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million and a decrease in total selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $537,302 and an impairment charge of $124,064 (both included in costs of good sold), and an increase in interest expense of $926,745 (including an increase in non-cash interest of $921,805).
Total property and equipment was $20.6 million at June 30, 2007, a $5.8 million from March 31, 2007. The majority of the increase is due to newly manufactured SmartVault units and the associated GPS components.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenues were $2.3 million, a 32% increase from the same period last year. Net loss for the quarter was $4.0 million compared to a net loss of $5.6 million for same period a year ago. The decrease in the net loss is due primarily to an income tax benefit of $2.4 million and a decrease in total selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $915,021 offset by an increase in depreciation expense of $755,129 and an impairment charge of $124,064 (both included in costs of good sold), and an increase in interest expense of $1.0 million (which includes an increase in non-cash interest charges of $945,048).
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net cash consumed in operations was approximately $2.8 million. Cash was consumed by the net loss of $4.0 million, less non-cash expenses of $1.3 million for depreciation, $1.1 million for amortization of debt discounts (including $870,523 on unamortized beneficial conversion feature on the January 2006 debt converted to equity), $116,982 of non-cash compensation, an impairment of $124,064 and an increase in bad debts of $8,726, partially offset by a non-cash cost of deferred income tax benefit of $2.4 million.
As a result of the significant increase in equipment purchases of SmartVaultTMcontainers and lower than anticipated national van line revenues, the company requires and plans to seek additional capital to continue to expand its business and execute its plan.
Outlook for Fiscal 2007
Smart Move only began its revenue producing activities in June of 2005, and only began its national van line business in 2007, and, consequently, the Company has limited historical data to assist management in our evaluating any trends or variables that may impact the Company’s ongoing operating activities and future financial results.
For its year ending December 31, 2007, Management anticipates that:
| • | | After the completion of our second quarter, and factoring in the reduced van line business at its current business levels, we expect top line revenues to be between $8.5 million to $11 million. |
| • | | The Company’s net loss will range from $6.5 million to $7.5 million including depreciation expense, estimated to be approximately $2.5 million to $3.25 million and non-cash interest to be approximately $1.5 million. |
| • | | The Company expects revenue to be highly seasonal and anticipates that the majority of the revenue for any given fiscal year likely will be generated during a period beginning late in the second fiscal quarter and ending at approximately the end of the third fiscal quarter. |
