Advantex Announces Net Income for Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2013

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 28, 2013) - Advantex Marketing International Inc. (CNSX:ADX) ("Advantex" or the "Company"), a leading specialist in the marketing services industry, today announced its results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2013. All currency amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

"It is encouraging to report an increase in revenues, and a net income in a challenging business environment," said Kelly Ambrose, Advantex President and Chief Executive Officer.

Financial Highlights:

		Fiscal 2013	Fiscal 2012	Inc./(Dec)
Revenues:	Programs operated in partnership with CIBC	$15,033,000	$14,804,000	$229,000
	Programs operated in partnership with Aeroplan	1,395,000	965,000	430,000
	Other	482,000	127,000	355,000
		$16,910,000	$15,896,000	$1,014,000
Earnings from operations before depreciation, amortization and interest (EBITDA (i))		$3,323,000	$3,214,000	$109,000
Net Income		$36,000	$227,000	$(191,000)

(i) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by the issuer's GAAP and is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. In case of the Company, for Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, per consolidated financial statements for year ended June 30, 2013, earnings from operations before depreciation, amortization and interest is the nearest equivalent to EBITDA.

The Company's revenues from its programs with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") and Aeroplan Canada Inc. ("Aeroplan") increased a solid 4.2%. The Company earns revenues as consumers complete purchases at small independent merchants participating in the programs. The uncertain economy affected consumer spending at participating merchants. This is a significant reason that despite a double digit percent increase in merchant participation during Fiscal 2013, the revenues did not increase as expected. The Company acquired Futura Loyalty Group Inc.'s Aeroplan channel marketing assets at the end of January, 2013. This has augmented our merchant portfolio and our revenues and gross profit for Fiscal 2013.

While Fiscal 2013 selling, general & administrative costs were flat compared to Fiscal 2012, the increase in direct costs eroded all the gains of revenue growth. The Company increased its expense for delinquencies reflecting the financial strain caused by the economic conditions on participating merchants.

"The Company recently announced renewal of its agreement with CIBC which was an important event. The eighteen year relationship is still strong and provides CIBC cardholders with significant value. Discussions with Aeroplan respecting a multi-year renewal of the existing agreement expiring December 31, 2013 are going well. Our financial partners are supportive. Accord Financial Inc. and the Company have extended the term of the credit facility by a year to December 31, 2014. The term of the 14% and 12% debentures has been extended to December 31, 2013. The Company has announced that it has entered into a term sheet to refinance between $5 million and $5.5 million of the 14% debentures and 12% debentures. The Company expects to re-finance the debentures. I am cautiously optimistic with the future prospects of Advantex," said Mr. Ambrose.
