Fiscal 2011 marked the achievement of record revenues in Titan's history. The primary source of the increased revenues and net earnings was Titan's strategic effort to increase market share of its flagship product, the TD80 transport gauging system, into the United States.

Summary of our Focus and Initiatives for Fiscal 2012:

Fiscal year 2011 was a transition year as Greg McGillis became Titan's President and Chief Operating Officer. In December 2011, Les Evans retired from his role as CEO and Mr. McGillis was appointed as President and CEO. "I thank the Board for their confidence to appoint me to lead the Company at this exciting time. The Titan team is fully engaged as we embark on the next stage of the execution of our strategic plan." said Greg McGillis.

Historically Titan has seen a strong correlation between oil industry drilling activity and its revenue. This is reflected in the current year's sales and net earnings before taxes compared to the previous year when drilling activity was substantially lower. Based on the expected ongoing high level of exploration in the petroleum industry both in Canada and the U.S., Titan's outlook for the next fiscal year is positive.

The Company's strategy is to develop, manufacture, market and support the right products to ensure its customers achieve a high return on investment/low true cost of ownership through advanced technology. Titan sells engineered, purpose-built products that meet market needs today while providing the facility for future expansion as customer needs change.

Titan Logix Corp.'s strategic objectives for fiscal year 2012 are:

  • Financial - increase our downstream revenue as a percentage of total revenue; grow our share price; increase gross profit and return on sales.
  • Market and Customer - focus on our Mission Statement; grow our USA crude oil market share; release new Stik products.
  • Operations - further integration of our business systems; increase our manufacturing capacity; reduce delivery time.
  • People - develop and strengthen our people.

Titan's core focus of its business is portrayed in its theme "In the Field, On the Road and In the Office".

About Titan Logix Corp.:

Founded in 1979, Titan Logix Corp. is an industrial instrumentation and controls company specializing in the development and manufacture of advanced technology fluid management solutions, particularly for "on the road" applications. Titan's solutions are currently used in the oil and gas, waste collection and aviation industries. These technologies, and their derivatives under development, are applicable to a variety of additional markets which Titan plans to expand into at the appropriate time. A common theme in many of these markets is the use of manual methods for measurement and control. However, due to the rising cost of many fluids, concerns and awareness about the environment (including the importance of spill prevention) and technological advancements, we are experiencing an increased demand for our products. We anticipate this demand will continue as we pursue expansion into other markets. The products we manufacture are part of a complete asset management solution. The full solution consists of our own market leading products integrated with best-in-class third party solutions to enable our customers to benefit from complete fluid asset management, throughout each stage of their processes. This is captured by our slogan "In the Field, On the Road, In the Office".

  • In the Field: "In the Field" refers to Titan's solution offerings for storage tanks and process vessels.
  • On the Road: "On the Road" refers to Titan's solution offerings for mobile tanker trucks and trailers.
  • In the Office: "In the Office" refers to Titan's solution offerings that enable customers to monitor their fluid assets from the convenience of their dispatch center or other back office environment through a wired or wireless connection.
