Integrated Media Technology Limited Release of Year 2018 Audited Financial Results

 

 

Australia, Hong Kong, New York, May 15, 2019, Integrated Media Technology Limited (NASDAQ: IMTE) (“IMTE” or the “Company” or the “Group”), announces the release of its audited financial results for the year ending December 31, 2018. The full text of the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 can be found on the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.imtechltd.com.

 

Highlights of Financial Results

 

Year ended December 31, 2018 FY 2018 (A$) FY 2017 (A$)
Revenue 1,324,406 5,762,711
EBITDA (13,937,508) 3,633,685
Net (Loss)/Profit after Tax (16,843,223) 1,692,666
Basic and Diluted EPS (59.3) cents 64 cents

 

Revenue from operating activities decreased 77% from A$5,762,711 in 2017 to A$1,324,406 in 2018. IMTE’s net loss was A$16,843,223 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to A$1,692,666 reported in the same period for 2017.

 

The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the decline in sales of 3D digital mobile phones and tablets, 3D conversion super-workstation, 3D technology solutions, and 3D displays when compared to 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the 3D display products encountered manufacturing setbacks with the Company’s contract manufacturer, which limited commercial production for 3D display products. Going forward, IMTE has identified a major contract manufacturer for 3D display manufacturing with better manufacturing process and quality control. In addition to ongoing business development activities, IMTE will focus on the sale of autostereoscopic displays and video walls in 2019 .

 

Operating expenses increased from A$6,100,119 in 2017 to A$19,760,582 in 2018, which primarily resulted from a non-cash A$9,953,311 impairment loss on goodwill. Additionally, an increase of A$1,276,298 in finance costs were recorded that were related to interest charges on the liability owed to the holding company, and an increase in sales, general, and administrative costs of A$1,445,030, which were attributable to increased legal fees associated with ongoing corporate development and marketing activities during the year.

 

Included in the loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was a gain of A$709,543 as a result in the fair value change in derivative financial instruments in relation to put options granted by the Company on convertible bonds issued by its subsidiary Marvel Digital Limited and a gain of A$608,995 from the disposal of subsidiaries, whereas in 2017 there was a fair value change on contingent consideration liabilities of A$3,953,537.

 

Mr. Herbert Ying Chiu Lee (“Mr. Lee”), Chairman of IMTE, commented: “Overall, 2018 was a disappointing year as the Company recorded a significant loss compared to a profit in 2017. We remain focused on the market for 3D autostereoscopic displays across multiple industries such as media and advertising. In 2019, the Company will focus on 3D autostereoscopic displays and video walls for the advertising industry. In the second half of 2019, IMTE will work towards business development activities in polymer dispersed liquid crystal film (“Conductive Film”) markets. This is a whole new market opportunity for IMTE.”

Mr. Lee concluded: “Our technical team is researching a solution to use a third-generation conductive barrier film technologies on laminated glass panels (large glass pane windows) that can be used as digital advertising boards and to normal transparent glass when the display advertising images are not in use. The cost of this advanced technology is much less than the current technology used for video wall display. If IMTE is successful in developing our “glasses-free 3D” conductive barrier film solution for large glass pane windows, this will have significant positive impact to our business, as the advertising effect and associated cost factors far exceed the conventional digital signage model. We look forward to updating our shareholders as IMTE moves forward with its development.”
