CommerceTel Announces Corporate Update; Projecting 2012 YoY Revenue Growth of At Least 60%

Management to Host Conference Call on Wednesday, June 13th at 11:30am ET


SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 6, 2012) - CommerceTel Corporation (OTCBB: MFON), an award-winning provider of proprietary mobile marketing technologies and solutions, today announced an update on corporate and strategic initiatives.

Business Development

CommerceTel activated several name brand local advertiser accounts in Q4 2011 and Q1 2012, respectively, to implement the Company's proprietary mobile marketing platform across their domestic store base. Through May 31, 2012, the Company has completed installations in more than 3,500 local advertiser locations. Two major Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR) customers have activated more than 2,000 locations across the U.S. and plan to pursue full deployment to their entire franchise base that could exceed 4,000 total locations.

The Company has also achieved several enterprise business wins including:

  • Texas Legends, an affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks.
  • Liberman Broadcasting on their Estrella TV station powering SMS and IVR capabilities for the productions of Tengo Talento and Mucho Talento, and Mi Sueno es Bailar.
  • The Trump Organization's Miss Universe Organization for Miss USA, Miss Teen, and Miss Universe productions during 2012.
  • Three year contract powering the United States Tennis Association's mobile marketing.

Intellectual Property (IP) Development

CommerceTel and its operating subsidiaries have two patents covering carrier identification and lookup across all forms of mobile communications, including SMS, MMS, and voice, as well as mobile authentication and identification verification across all types of mobile communications protocols. Given that its proprietary technologies are applicable to a wide range of applications and devices, the Company is actively exploring strategic options for monetizing the value of its IP, including licensing agreements, partnerships, and royalties.

Working Capital and Cash Flow

At the beginning of this month, the Company completed the issuance of its secured convertible note in the principal amount of approximately $4.3 million (including approximately $1.7 million in principal that was converted into the financing) accruing an annual interest rate of 10% due October 15, 2012. CommerceTel expects to deploy the proceeds from the financing into (1) adding new sales staff; (2) general working capital; (3) intellectual property and (4) corporate development opportunities, including mergers and acquisitions.

Guidance for 2012

Management forecasts full year 2012 revenues to be at least $4 million, representing an increase of at least 60% from 2011. Current guidance is based on organic growth and does not include acquisitions.
