Preliminary Half Year Results – revenue up 228%
Australian transit technology and digital out-of-home company XTD Limited ( XTD or the Company ) is pleased to announce its results for the six months ending 31 December 2015.
Revenue from continuing operations was up 228% on the corresponding 2014 period to $1.817m. The result reflects accelerating interest from the media and marketing industries in the effectiveness of Cross Track Digital communications. The XTD screen networks have installations in both open air and underground locations and are being marketed as part of an Eastern Seaboard package on offer for the Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney markets.
Operational highlights
-
On 8 October 2015, XTD announced it had achieved six consecutive months of revenue growth and total revenue for the Q1 2016 (July to September 2015) of $778,000.
-
On 27 November 2015, XTD announced that revenues for Q2 2016 (October to December 2015), were forecast to exceed the Q1 by approximately 32%. This sales target was subsequently achieved.

XTD launched a new technology that provides a platform for the exchange of content and data between the Company’s screen networks and people’s mobile devices via its majority-owned subsidiary, Contact Light Pty Ltd ( Contact Light ). Contact Light’s focus is on designing and marketing mobile platforms for transit environments. The business is already engaged with one of Australia's premier metro-rail networks in a digital product launch.
-
In early January 2016 Contact Light released OTTO, a smartphone app enabling intra-campus transport tracking, wayfinding and a custom campus map with levels of detail not seen in Google or Apple Maps.

Summary
XTD’s media partner APN Outdoor announced in their December full year financial report summary that they are focussed on the rapidly growing digital outdoor media market. APN Outdoor commented that outdoor advertising was the fastest-growing media sector with annual industry growth of 17.2% in 2015.
Steve Wildisen, CEO of XTD, said the Company’s performance was very pleasing with many thousands of train commuters daily viewing the Cross Track experience, driving increased interest in XTD’s unique product offer and consumer engagement platform.
“Firstly, we are operating in two of the world’s fastest-growing communications mediums, digital out-of-home and mobile communications,” said Mr. Wildisen. “Secondly, we have seen increasing interest from marketers and media agencies in using our Cross Track systems for long-form content marketing. This is because our transit audiences have longer dwell times than most other periods in their city experiences. This means people have more time to absorb the content running on the XTD systems.”
Outlook
Mr. Wildisen said he remained confident of continued strong business performance by XTD. The Company is maintaining a high level of interest in overseas expansion with prospects in major cities in Asia and the USA.
