The following highlights refer to the comparison of 2015 results to the 2014 adjusted results.

  • North America revenues in the fourth quarter increased 29% to €7.72m. Of the €1.75m increase, €1.20m was directly attributable to additional machine sales in the 2015 fourth quarter compared to 2014. For the year 2015, North America revenues increased 12% to €28.80m from €25.80m in 2014. For the 2015 year, there were €2.5m in additional machine sales compared to 2014. Machine service revenue increased €0.31m or 14% for the year to €2.50m when compared to 2014. Additional 2015 machine lease and through-put revenue was largely offset by declines in commodity prices.
  • Europe revenues in the 2015 fourth quarter are mostly attributable to the first machine sales in Sweden. For the year 2015, Europe sales increased 150% to €0.60m compared to 2014.
  • ROW sales for the 2015 year are principally from Australia.
  • Gross profit margin in the fourth quarter 2015 improved to 36% from 27% in 2014, largely as a result of manufacturing cost improvements and the increased North America machine sales. For the year 2015, margin improvement to 36% compared to 32% in 2014 was similarly impacted by manufacturing efficiencies and volume.
  • Operating expenses for the 2015 year were largely in line with 2014.
  • Net profit in the fourth quarter 2015 improved to €0.42m compared to a loss of €(0.43)m in 2014 as a result of increased machine sales. For the year 2015, Net profit was €0.84m compared to a loss of €(2.50)m in 2014. Increased machine sales, combined with manufacturing cost improvements and overall operating efficiencies account for the significant profit improvement in 2015 compared to 2014.
  • Substantial improvement in the EBITDA for the 2015 fourth quarter of €1.23m and €3.74m for the year was similarly impacted by increased 2015 machine sales and operating improvements.

Outlook

In the North America market, we are confident that our technology investments, strong sales relationships, superior service organization and overall execution focus will result in continued market share gains and profitability.

Success in the Swedish market around our breakthrough Quantum bulk feed technology, combined with our cost effective Flex platform will well position the company for further expansion into Europe. The company is also well positioned for new deposit markets such as currently being discussed in Australia under the NSW Container Deposit law proposed for July 1, 2017.

Envipco is uniquely well suited to work with industry partners in the development of cost effective non-deposit solutions based on our innovative technology and extensive program expertise. The company has ongoing efforts and dialogue in several markets around potential systems.

The company has adequate bank facilities and shareholder support to fund our ongoing market development strategies and initiatives.
