Memex Inc. Expects to Report Record Sales in Q3 – 2016

BURLINGTON, ON–(Marketwired – Jul 28, 2016) – Memex Inc. (“Memex” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: OEE) today released preliminary financial and operational highlights from its third quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended June 30, 2016. All results are reported in Canadian dollars. Full financial results are expected to be released after the Company’s regularly scheduled Board Meeting on August 18, 2016.

Memex expects to achieve revenue of $919 thousand for the third quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 104% over the same period a year ago, and 61% higher than Q2 2016. Revenue growth was driven by both new customer wins and follow-on orders. Year-to date sales of $2.1 million eclipsed the $2 million level for the first time in the Company’s history, with one quarter still remaining in the fiscal year. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2016 is expected to be approximately 72.5%, up from 50.4% a year ago. Bookings1 remain strong with year-to-date bookings exceeding $2.6 million.

Management Commentary:

“A considerable jump in our Q3 sales combined with our solid bookings and backlog is evidence that manufacturers recognize the value and benefits of production analytics and data driven manufacturing,” said the VP of Sales John Rattray. “Our recently announced partnership with Cisco positions Memex to accelerate the delivery of this value proposition.”

Q3 Fiscal 2016 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:

  • In July, Memex was featured at Cisco Live (Cisco’s annual technology conference), where Cisco revealed that Memex’s MERLIN platform would be part of Cisco’s Connected Machines portfolio of solutions. A key component of Cisco’s value proposition is that MERLIN facilitates the real-time calculation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
  • In April, Sun Hydraulics Corp. placed an 89 machine follow-on order for MERLIN MES Enterprise Edition Software, after a successful 11 machine initial phase.
  • Q3 saw Memex collect 5 significant new customer project orders and 5 follow on orders from its current customer base. Since quarter-end Memex has added another 2 new customer projects and 2 follow on orders.
  • In June, Management finalized arrangements and completed the early payout of lender, Business Development Bank of Canada. The early payout eliminated future interest and royalty payments.

Memex Completes Early Payout of BDC

Early Payout Eliminates Future Interest and Royalty Payments

Burlington, ON, Canada – June 29, 2016 – Memex Inc. (“Memex” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: OEE) a global leader in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) manufacturing productivity software, today announced it has completed the early settlement of its debt obligation to the Business Development Bank of Canada (the “BDC”).  Funding for the pay-out came primarily from the Company’s Senior Management and Directors, who have collectively exercised $196 thousand of $0.16 warrants that were set to expire.  The early pay-out removes uncertainty over the bonus interest payment, which would have been due at loan maturity (Feb 2018), and also halts royalty interest payments.

Settlement Summary

In exchange for repayment of the outstanding principal ($160 thousand), an interest rate differential payment of $8 thousand, and the negotiated bonus interest payment of $103 thousand, the BDC has agreed to release its security and conclude its lending arrangement with Memex.  That arrangement would have seen the Company continue to pay principal plus interest at 9% in addition to royalty interest (of 1% of each year’s annual sales) and the unknown future bonus interest (2.3% of the Company’s fair value) at the maturity of the loan.

Memex’s Senior Management and Directors Exercise Out-of-the-Money Warrants to Fund Anticipated Early Payout of BDC

Early Payout Reduces Future Interest and Royalty Payments

BURLINGTON, ON–(Marketwired – Jun 21, 2016) – Memex Inc. (“Memex” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: OEE), a global leader in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) manufacturing productivity software, today announced it has come to an agreement in principal for the early settlement of its debt obligation to the Business Development Bank of Canada (the “BDC”). Funding for the pay-out will come primarily from Company’s Senior Management and Directors, who have collectively agreed to exercise $196 thousand of $0.16 warrants that were set to expire. The early pay-out removes uncertainty over the bonus interest payment, which would have been due at loan maturity (Feb 2018), and also halts royalty interest payments.

Settlement Summary
In exchange for repayment of the outstanding principal (currently $168 thousand) over the next three months, an interest rate differential payment of $9 thousand, and the negotiated bonus interest payment of $103 thousand, the BDC has agreed to release its security and conclude its lending arrangement with Memex. That arrangement would have seen the Company continue to pay principal plus interest at 9% in addition to royalty interest (of 1% of each year’s annual sales) and the unknown future bonus interest (2.3% of the Company’s fair value) at the maturity of the loan. Closing is subject to the execution of definitive documentation and is expected to occur on or about June 27, 2016.

Management Comment
“With our future potential we believed it was in the company’s and our investors’ best interest to negotiate the best outcome possible with the BDC right now,” expressed Company CFO Ed Crymble, in reaction to the decision to take out the BDC’s loan position. “The BDC’s bonus interest payment, which would have been based on Memex’s value at maturity, could have been for substantially more than what we agreed to today. Management as well as Company Directors backed up their decision and their belief in Memex’s future by agreeing to pay more than $40 thousand over current trading value with the exercise of their warrants.”
