CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - May 31, 2009) - Xentel DM Incorporated (TSX VENTURE:XDM) - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Three months ended March 31 2009 2008 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ($ 000's, except per share amounts) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $ 23,885 $ 24,434 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross margin $ 5,371 $ 5,681 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Net earnings $ 573 $ 285 --------------------------------------------------------------------- EBITDA $ 1,239 $ 1,290 --------------------------------------------------------------------- EPS, fully diluted $ 0.02 $ 0.01 --------------------------------------------------------------------- EBITDA, per share, fully diluted $ 0.05 $ 0.05 --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- EBITDA - Net Earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization. Since Gross Margin, EBITDA and diluted EBITDA per share have no standardized GAAP meaning, the comparability of these amounts to other enterprises may not be possible if the basis of calculation of differs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The results for the first quarter 2009 were net earnings of $573 thousand compared to net earnings of $285 thousand for the first quarter 2008. Revenues amounted to $23,885 thousand compared to $24,434 thousand for the same period in 2008. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 200 was $1,239 thousand compared to $1,290 for the same period in 2008. EBITDA was essentially the same for the first quarter 2009 and 2008 in face of declining revenues quarter over quarter as a result of restructuring the labour utilization model, continuing to monitor and control costs and refocusing emphasis on data development. Additionally, the elimination of long term interest with the repayment of the subordinated debt in 2008 and the reduction of amortization relating to the fully amortized intangible assets from the 2003 acquisition contributed to the improved earnings quarter over quarter 2009 to 2008. David Winograd, President of the US operations stated, "The labour restructuring program is having a very positive impact on earnings. That combined with the improved balance sheet resulting from the elimination of interest on the payment of the subordinated debt and the reduction in amortization on fully amortized intangibles, bodes well for the future." "Improved earnings are to be expected as a result of the debt reduction and the revenue expense scaling, but the market remains challenging and the entire Xentel team must continue to focus on improving margins", said Michael Platz, Chairman.
