  • Revenue for the second fiscal quarter of operations (ending May 31st, 2015) was $2,318,458, as compared to $1,201,225 last quarter, an increase of 93% quarter over quarter.
  • July 2015 revenue is expected to be in excess of $2.2 million or over $26 million annualized current run rate revenue due to the acquisition of Hollywood Detox and ARTS.

Quarterly Profitability & Balance Sheet

  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), excluding new facility start-up costs, for the quarter was $458,695(1) .
  • Cash as of July 20th, 2015 was an excess of $24,500,000; Cash at the end of the quarter was $30,631,957.
  • Accounts receivable at the end of the quarter of $1,320,480 and accounts payable and accrued liabilities associated with the listing process at the end of the quarter of $1,022,900.

Expansion

  • Convalo's wholly-owned subsidiary, BLVD Centers acquired a second outpatient center in West Los Angeles with a slightly larger capacity than the Hollywood Center which is expected to be finished and fully operating by end of August 2015.
  • Convalo acquired Hollywood Detox and ARTS during the current quarter, companies with trailing 12 month revenues of $14 million.

"Although we're very happy to see the tremendous organic revenue and EBITDA growth the Hollywood center generated since last quarter, these numbers are a bit out-dated," said Michael Dalsin, Chairman and CEO of Convalo. "Since the acquisition of Hollywood Detox and ARTS, we have almost tripled our reported revenues run-rate. But the financial results for this quarter provide transparency for one location, demonstrate the power of our model in the context of a single center, and highlight our tremendous organic growth rate. When we first invested in BLVD about a year ago, we had less than $1 million in annualized sales. Now, for this same location, we have in excess of $8 million in annualized sales."

"We are now in the process of extending our model to our new locations. I look forward to the financial results in the quarters to come as we both build out new centers and close additional acquisitions," continued Mr. Dalsin. "We got started just over a year ago and our return on invested capital has been outstanding. We have ample cash for growth and acquisitions, and a service in high demand with superior margins."

In addition to releasing Convalo's second quarter results, the company would also like to welcome Allan Dicks as their new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Allan Dicks

Allan is a CPA with more than twenty years of experience in accounting and finance with public and private Fortune 500 companies. He previously worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers in London, Johannesburg and Los Angeles, where he was part of the audit practice before transitioning into PwC's mergers and acquisitions practice. Here he advised on over 50 transactions in both Silicon Valley and Los Angeles, working with clients including Yahoo!, Activision, Universal Studios, as well as several large Private Equity funds. In 2003, Allan left PwC to join Dole Food Company, where he worked as CFO of Dole's Packaged Foods division, a billion dollar global business. He has since held VP Finance and CFO positions at large divisions of Fortune 200 businesses, including White Cap (a division of HD Supply) and Moark (a division of Land O' Lakes). Most recently Allan was the CFO of Universal Services of America, a private equity backed billion dollar business focused on the manned security industry in the US. Allan holds two degrees from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.

"We are pleased to add Allan to our senior executive team," said Mr. Dalsin. "We are fortunate to attract his experience and talent. It is a testament to the potential this business has that we can attract this level of executive."
