ALARIS ROYALTY CORP. RELEASES FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Alaris Royalty Corp. has released its results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The Corporation's revenue from partner companies increased 23% to $6.93 million compared to $5.64 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to the addition of two new private company partners in the last half of 2011: Killick Aerospace Limited Partnership ("Killick") in July 2011 and Quetico, LLC ("Quetico") in December 2011. The Corporation also completed a follow on contribution into KMH Limited Partnership ("KMH") in October 2011.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Corporation recorded earnings of $3.96 million and EBITDA of $5.64 million compared to earnings of $2.93 million and EBITDA of $4.51 million in the prior year. The 35% increase to earnings and the 25% increase in EBITDA in the current period is predominantly due to having a full quarter of revenues from Killick and Quetico as well as the increased distributions from KMH.
"Our first quarter was again as expected given the contractual and predictable nature of our revenues from our partners. As well, our recent increase of our credit facility from $30 million to $50 million gives us additional capacity as we continue to evaluate new opportunities in Canada and the United States" said Darren Driscoll, CFO, Alaris Royalty Corp.
Outlook
Alaris' agreements with its partner companies (its "Private Company Partners") provide for estimated revenues to Alaris of approximately $27.8 million for 2012. Revenues from our Private Company Partners for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are expected to be $6.9 million. The Corporation has $45.5 million remaining on its $50 million credit facility for use in future transactions. General and administrative expenses are currently estimated to be $3.2 million for 2012, inclusive of all public company costs. Cash requirements after earnings are expected to remain at minimal levels.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Comprehensive Income, and Statement of Cash Flows are attached to this news release. Alaris' financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on our website at www.alarisroyalty.com.
