MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - June 18, 2015) - IBEX Technologies Inc. ("IBEX" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IBT) today reported its financial results for the nine months ended April 30, 2015.

"While sales are down year over year, we are pleased to note that we have had two quarters of progressively increasing sales," said Paul Baehr, IBEX President and CEO. "We are also pleased to report that, subsequent to the end of the quarter, we reached a positive conclusion to our outstanding legal actions against third parties which resulted in aggregate settlements of approximately $875,000."

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Sales for the quarter ended April 30, 2015 totaled $892,969 compared to $1,140,228 in the same period of the prior year. Sales were down by $195,317 in our Bio-Research Products ("BRP") subsidiary and by $51,942 in our IBEX Pharma subsidiary. As has been explained in prior releases, sales are suffering from what we believe to be temporary cutbacks in purchases from major customers.

The Company sustained a net loss of $288,538, as compared to net earnings of $148,844 in the year ago period. This loss can be primarily traced to the $247,259 reduction in sales. Losses were incurred in both the IBEX Pharma and the BRP subsidiaries.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2015

Sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 totaled $2,241,768 compared to $2,941,351 the same period of the prior year. Sales in the IBEX Pharma subsidiary were down by $423,904 and by $275,679 in the BRP subsidiary, due to the reasons mentioned above.

The company recorded a net loss of $720,874 compared to a net loss of $258,097 for the same period a year ago. This net loss can be primarily traced to the reduction in sales revenue.

LOOKING FORWARD

We expect that sales of the BRP subsidiary will continue to be under pressure due to cutbacks in purchases from one of its major customers, however we expect that sales in the IBEX Pharma subsidiary to pick up as one of its major customers starts to roll out a major new product using one of IBEX's enzymes.

Management believes that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its obligations and planned expenditures for the ensuing twelve months as they fall due. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, the Company settled its outstanding legal actions against third parties which resulted in aggregate settlements of approximately $875,000. The proceeds from settlements will be recorded as they are received. As at June 17, the Company has received $665,000 which will be recorded in the fourth quarter.
