Earnings Highlights and Summary

For the three months ended December 31, 2017, SITO’s total revenues soared 97% to $14.7 million compared to $7.5 million in Q4 2016, primarily driven by an increase in the number of campaigns as the Company continues to expand its direct sales force and increase its customer base. SITO’s revenue numbers beat analysts’ estimates by $1.26 million.

During Q4 2017, SITO’s media placement revenues more than doubled to $14.7 million compared to $7.3 million in Q4 2016.

For the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, SITO’s total revenues surged 46% to $43.1 million compared to $29.4 million in FY16, driven primarily by an increase in the number of campaigns as the Company continues to expand its direct sales force and increase its customer base.

During Q4 2017, SITO’s gross profit was $6.8 million, or 46% of total revenues, compared to $3.7 million, or 50% of total revenues, in Q4 2016. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily driven by a change in the Company’s advertising mix on a y-o-y basis.

For Q4 2017, SITO’s loss from operations was $6.9 million, primarily reflected by an expense of $3.5 million related to the settlement of litigation and termination of the IP revenue sharing agreement with TAR SITO LendCo LLC; and an expense of $2.2 million relating to the accrual of bonuses earned by SITO’s executive management team under their respective employment agreements with the Company, related to the achievement of certain performance-based targets.

SITO’s net loss was $6.9 million, or $0.31 loss per diluted share, in Q4 2017 compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.07 loss per diluted share, in Q4 2016. The Company’s adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was a loss of $38,700 in the reported quarter compared to a loss of $531,700 in the corresponding period of 2016.

For FY17, SITO recorded a net loss of $14.6 million, or $0.69 loss per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.08 loss per diluted share, in FY16. The decline in net income was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative (G&A) costs of $6.8 million, excluding certain non-recurring expenses of $6.7 million, primarily related to litigation and other legal matters; an increase in sales and marketing (S&M) expenses of $4.1 million, related to the expansion of the direct sales force and customer management personnel; and an increase in the loss from discontinued operations of $2.2 million.

Balance Sheet Summary

As of December 31, 2017, SITO had $3.6 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $8.7 million at December 31, 2016.
