Memex Inc. Secures up to $1.5 Million in Loan Facilities

/in , /by

BURLINGTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2019 / Memex Inc. (“Memex” or the “Company“) (TSX-V: OEE), a global leader in Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT“) manufacturing productivity software, is pleased to announce it has finalized loan facilities arrangements with affiliates of G&G Private Capital (“G&G“) (for up to $1.4 million) and Officers of Memex (for up to $100 thousand) (collectively the “Lenders“), for a total of $1.5 million dollars (collectively, the “Loan“). The details of this now finalized Loan agreement were first announced February 26, 2019.

The first tranche of the loan, advanced March 28th, was for $750 thousand ($700 thousand from G&G and $50 thousand from Company Officers). Subsequent drawdowns could become available to the Company in April 2020 provided the Company achieves specific operational milestones related to bookings, revenue and operational performance and would be done in the same ratio between G&G and Company Officers. The proceeds of the Loan will be used by the Company to support ongoing operations and is secured by a first charge general security agreement against Company assets.

As previously announced, outstanding principal on the Loan bears interest at a rate of Royal Bank Prime Rate + 8% per annum payable in cash or, with a 35% premium to the cash price, payable in common shares of the Company (the “Shares“), the Shares being valued at the closing price of the Company’s Shares as traded on the TSX Venture Exchange on the last trading day preceding payment. Drawdown fees of 1.5% of the value of each tranche are payable at the time of drawdown, with a total of $11,250 being paid out already with the first tranche. No repayment of outstanding principal is required until April 2020, and the loan matures March 2022.

In connection with the initial tranche of the Loan, the Company issued the Lenders non-transferable Share purchase warrants (the “Warrants“) received a total of 3.75 million Warrants (3.5 million to G&G) exercisable at $0.05. The number of Warrants to be issued with any subsequent tranches would be equivalent to the number obtained by dividing ¼ (25%) of the drawdown amount by the closing price of the Company’s Shares as traded on the TSX Venture Exchange on the last trading day prior to the drawdown. These Warrants would have an exercise price equivalent to that trading value. Expiry of the Warrants would coincide with the maturity of the Loan.

“G&G’s engagement with Memex comes at a key moment in the company’s development,” said David McPhail, Memex’s CEO. “Operationally, while Memex is executing well on the metrics that matter-bookings, backlog, revenues, margins, and cash flow generation-we believe the share price does not currently reflect the improving trend in results reported in fiscal Q4 and confirmed in fiscal Q1.”

“Having now worked with their leadership team over the past month and developing a more in depth understanding of their business model and positioning within the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) marketspace G&G Private Capital is excited to be getting involved with Memex at this stage of their development” said Gregory Ellis, G&G Principal.

Options Grant to Sophic Capital:

As part of its ongoing capital markets advisory services arrangement with Sophic Capital (“Sophic”), on March 27, 2019 the Company granted Sophic 500,000 Stock Compensation Options (“Options”). These Options have an exercise value of $0.05, will vest in equal tranches over a twelve-month period, and expire in March 2022.

(“Memex” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: OEE), a global leader in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) manufacturing productivity software, today released its annual financial and operational highlights for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2018. All results are reported in Canadian dollars. A complete set of the Audited September 30, 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion & Analysis has been filed at www.sedar.com.

Summary financial highlights for the three-months ended September 30, 2018:

  • Memex reported a record revenue quarter – $1.08 million for the three-month period, surpassing one million dollars for the first time. This compares to $626 thousand in revenue in the same period a year ago (a 72% increase) and $650 thousand in Q3-2018 (a 66% increase);
  • Gross margin was 82% (77% after Q4 adjustment) for the period compared to 66% for the year-ago period, the increase was due primarily to higher sales volume;
  • Cash consumed from operations in Q4-2018 (before changes in non-cash items) was $22 thousand, the lowest quarterly consumption in the Company’s history;
  • Bookingsi for the period totalled $420 thousand versus $365 thousand in the same period a year ago, a 15% increase; and
  • Net and comprehensive loss for the period was $70 thousand ($0.001 per share), compared to $881 thousand ($0.008 per share) for the same period a year ago, the Company’s best operational result ever.

Summary financial highlights for the year ended September 30, 2018:

  • Memex reported $2.85 million in revenue for fiscal 2018, a 42% increase compared to $2.01 million in fiscal 2017;
  • Gross margin was 70% versus 55% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017;
  • The Company showed a $2.2 million net and comprehensive loss for 2018, equating to an $0.017 loss per share, compared to a $3.98 million net and comprehensive loss for fiscal 2017, and a $0.034 loss per share;
  • Bookings for the year totalled $2.75 million, up 16% from a year ago;
  • The Company finished the year with $1.10 million in project backlog, $211 thousand less than a year ago, and $680 thousand less than the end of Q3-2018;
  • Cash consumed from operating activities (before changes in working capital balances) was $1.95 million for the year, down $1.74 million (47%) from the same period last year; and
  • The Company had $723 thousand in working capital, including $1.05 million in cash at September 30, 2018, as compared with $2.79 million in working capital and $3.46 million in cash at September 30, 2017.

Other operational and subsequent to year-end highlights:

  • Record bookings were achieved in Q1-2019, ending December 31st, 2018 of just over $1.0 million. These strong bookings came on the back of participation at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (“IMTS”) in Chicago in September which continues to draw increased interest through inquires and requests for demos and more information about MERLIN Tempus.
  • The evolution of Tempus has continued with the development of add-on feature, MERLIN Performance Management Model (“MPMM”), available for use with the latest version release. MPMM is designed to leverage existing Continuous Improvement (“CI”) resources and expertise to quickly identify and target CI initiatives enterprise wide.
  • Memex has developed relationships with several large Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) solutions providers to seamlessly integrate MERLIN Tempus with leading ERP systems and provide unparalleled shop floor to top floor visibility. This capability has already resulted in several new customer wins and the expansion of existing customer deployments.

Management commentary:

“Demonstrated by our record revenue quarter in the fourth quarter, we’re seeing the adoption curve for data-driven manufacturing flatten out,” said Memex CEO Dave McPhail. “We have definitely seen an increase in sales activity following IMTS, and customers who have deployed MERLIN Tempus over the last several quarters are extremely pleased with its functionality and ROI. Although our first fiscal quarter of 2019 ending December 31st, 2018 is generally weaker due to holiday shutdowns in the manufacturing industry, I am very encouraged that we ended the quarter with record bookings of just over $1.0 million. Our pipeline of opportunities continues to solidify, and we expect additional order flow from new and existing customers throughout fiscal 2019.”
