Automated-X Announces Upward Trending for First Quarter

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - May 18, 2015) - Automated-X, Inc. (OTC PINK: AUTX), a developer and integrator of next generation automation technologies, today announced upward trending for first quarter 2015 activities.

Revenues for Q1 2015 exceed Q4 2014 revenues by 107%. If this trend continues, management expects FY 2015 revenues to exceed FY 2014 revenues by 96%.

The total number of disc rentals for the first quarter of 2015 increased 60% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, and returning customers increased 170% over the same period. If this trend continues, management expects a 66% increase in the total number of disc rentals for FY 2015 as compared to FY 2014, despite less kiosks being in operation, and an 84% increase in returning customers over the same period, not accounting for growth due to new location installations. This increase in per kiosk rentals is attributed to the Company focusing on installations with retailer-partners who have previously had a similar program in-store.

In Q3 2014, QUICKflick removed 31 underperforming kiosks in order to relocate them to locations acquired from a new contract signed in Q4 2014. Fourteen of those 31 kiosks were installed mid-November 2014, which accounted for 77% of the total kiosks deployed at that time with the remaining 17 kiosks being held for new location installations in 2015. Automated-X generated more rentals and revenue in Q4 2014 and Q1 2015 with less kiosks than previously deployed.

We are pleased with our strong momentum as we began 2015. In addition, press releases announced further significant corporate progress during the first quarter:

  • In order to strengthen our ability to better serve customers and position the Company for sustainable, long-term growth, our corporate headquarters was moved to Chicago.

  • As a result of a contract with Remke Markets, our QUICKflick subsidiary had 13 new revenue-producing locations in 2015. During the first quarter, QUICKflick conducted various promotions to consumers that continue to drive increased store traffic, cross-category purchases and movie rentals. During one such promotion, a discount was offered on a Remke private label product in conjunction with a QUICKflickUSA rental. First time customers for the day increased 431% over the same day on average in the previous quarter and rentals increased 292% during the same period. QUICKflick continues to schedule promotions like this to increase awareness of the program in store and increase return customer traffic for retailers.
    
    
  • Alan Bailey, seasoned executive with experience in working with Fortune 500 companies, appointed Chief Financial Officer.
    
    
  • Seasoned retail and technology veteran Franz Kuehnrich joined the Board of Directors.

  • The Company initiated the financial auditing process to begin the transition from the OTC Markets Pink Sheets to the OTCQB.
    
    

"Even though we are pleased with what we have accomplished during the first quarter of 2015, we know we have our work cut out for us in 2015. Our management team remains focused on three key facets that drive our business: delighting and engaging consumers, strengthening partner relationships, and growing profitably," commented Tim Regnier, President and COO.
