"Our focus for fiscal 2007 was laying a foundation for growth," said Martin Johnson, President and CEO, OneMove. "We listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, completed $10.0 million in private placements to provide us with the capital necessary to fund our growth initiatives, and expanded into the U.K. through our acquisition of OneMove Limited. As the year progressed, we transitioned our Move Management System (MMS) in the U.K. from development to commercialization, and during the fourth quarter we saw a notable increase in customer leads. In B.C., we enhanced our econveyance(TM) offering and commenced a marketing campaign in partnership with the B.C. Land Title Office to promote electronic filing, which resulted in the doubling of our customer base over last year."
"Looking forward, with most of our core operational developments now behind us, we are well positioned to focus on advancing our product and service offerings, enhancing our sales and marketing, and expanding our customer base in B.C. and the U.K. The real estate industry is moving toward paperless transactions, and with our econveyance, MMS and Personal Moving Consultant (PMC) offerings, OneMove is at the forefront of that shift."
Fiscal 2007 Review
Fiscal 2007 revenues grew by $0.8 million, or 183% to $1.2 million, compared to $0.4 million for fiscal 2006. Revenues from Canadian operations were $1.0 million, a year-over-year increase of 134%, and revenue from U.K. operations were $0.2 million, compared to $58,000 in fiscal 2006. Overall, revenue improved as a result of the combined growth of the Company's Canadian and U.K. operations.
In B.C., the combination of OneMove's marketing efforts and the strength of the B.C. real estate market drove a steady increase in econveyance transactions throughout fiscal 2007. During the year, average daily transactions increased significantly from 7,000 during the first quarter to 13,000 in the fourth quarter. Average daily revenue increased from approximately $3,000 in the first quarter to approximately $5,000 in the fourth quarter.
In the U.K., as OneMove strengthened its presence in the England and Wales real estate market by transitioning its MMS from beta to commercialization, the Company saw growth in the adoption rate of its services. In addition, in fiscal 2007, OneMove enhanced its offering with the introduction of its Home Buyers Expense Insurance (HBEI). To drive the growth of its estate agent network, the Company launched the U.K.'s fastest growing free property listing portal.
Total expenses for fiscal 2007 were $7.4 million, compared to $3.1 million for fiscal 2006. The year-over-year increase in expenses was driven by public company costs, as a result of OneMove's listing on the TSX Venture Exchange in October, and increased investments in the Company's growing B.C. and U.K. operations.
EBITDA was $(4.7) million for fiscal 2007, compared to $(1.8) million in fiscal 2006. The year-over-year change reflects investment in current operations and infrastructure to support future growth. EBITDA for Canadian operations was $(0.6) million, compared to $(1.1) million in fiscal 2006, and EBITDA for U.K. operations was $(3.3) million, compared to $(1.7) million in fiscal 2006.
For fiscal 2007, net loss was $6.2 million or $0.28 per share, compared to $4.2 million or $0.38 per share in fiscal 2006. Fiscal 2007 net loss from Canadian operations was $1.3 million, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million for fiscal 2006. For OneMove's U.K. operations, net loss for the year was $3.7 million, compared to a loss of $1.8 million in the prior year.
Fourth Quarter Review
Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 grew by $0.2 million, or 152% to $0.4 million, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. Revenues from Canadian operations for the fourth quarter were $0.2 million, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 157%. Revenues from U.K. operations were $0.2 million, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 113%. During the fourth quarter, OneMove processed 13,000 econveyance transactions in B.C., compared to 6,000 transactions in the fourth quarter of last year, resulting in a daily average revenue increase of approximately $2,500 over daily average revenue of approximately $2,500 in the fourth quarter of 2006. In the U.K., the Company moved beyond the beta testing stage of its MMS, resulting in a significant increase in the adoption of its services.
OneMove's fourth quarter revenues tend to be higher compared to other quarters, due to the seasonality of the real estate market. The largest number of home buying and selling transactions occur between April and June.
Total expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 were $2.2 million, compared to $1.1 million for fiscal 2006. The quarter-over-quarter increase in expenses was driven by public company costs and increased investments in the Company's B.C. and U.K. operations.
EBITDA was $(1.4) million for fourth quarter fiscal 2007, compared to $(0.7) million in fiscal 2006. EBITDA for Canadian operations was $0.2 million, compared to $(0.05) million in fiscal 2006, and fourth quarter EBITDA for U.K. operations was $(0.9) million, compared to $(0.7) million in fiscal 2006. Although the Company experienced quarter-over-quarter improvements in revenues, during the fourth quarter OneMove continued to invest in its operations and further enhancements to its product and service offering in B.C. and the U.K. Management expects quarterly fluctuations in EBITDA due to the seasonality of the real estate market.
For the fourth quarter, net loss was $1.8 million or $0.05 per share, compared to $0.8 million or $0.09 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Fourth quarter fiscal 2007 net loss from Canadian operations was $0.05 million, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million for fourth quarter fiscal 2006. For OneMove's U.K. operations, net loss for the quarter was $1.0 million, compared to a loss of $0.7 million the prior year.
Cash and cash equivalents were $3.7 million at June 30, 2007, primarily reflecting the proceeds from the brokered private placements OneMove completed in May 2007. In addition, the Company had working capital of $3.0 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $(1.1) million at June 30, 2006.
Subsequent to Year End
Looking ahead, OneMove is committed to growing its customer base, enhancing its offering and attracting strategic partners that offer complementary products and services.
In B.C., the Company will continue on its joint marketing initiative with the B.C. Land Title Office to encourage the adoption of electronic document filing in the real estate industry. In addition, OneMove is working to expand its product and service offering. Subsequent to year end, the Company released econveyance 7.0., which is integrated with Emergis's Real Estate Assyst to include the electronic transfer of mortgage instructions.
In the U.K., with the completion of the integration of Company's MMS and Expert Agent subsequent to year end, OneMove added 535 estate agents to its network, resulting in approximately 900 new customer leads. In addition, the Company is working to capitalize on opportunities within the industry by expanding its offering and building strategic partnerships. With the June introduction of Home Information Packs ("HIP") by the U.K. government, OneMove signed a HIP distribution agreement with MacDonald Dettwiler and Associated Ltd. ("MDA") immediately subsequent to year end.
