01 Junho 2022 - 6:46PM
Avante Logixx Inc. (TSX.V: XX) (OTC: ALXXF)
(“
Avante” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that, following the approval by shareholders at
the meeting held on May 30, 2022, it has completed the sale of its
subsidiary Logixx Security Inc. (“
Logixx”) to SSC
Security Services Corp. (TSXV: SECU, “
SSC”)
effective June 1, 2022 as previously announced in the Company’s
March 30, 2022 press release and its Management Information
Circular dated April 28, 2022.
Going forward, the Company intends to focus on
in-lane acquisitions to support organic growth, expansion of
international service offerings and the development and deployment
of new technologies in Cyber Security, Health, and Advanced AI
technologies to capture data around the world which can be used for
predictive disaster mitigation for its clients and their
assets.
Since March 30, 2022, the Company has
implemented operating expense cost savings of $1.6 million, on an
annualized basis, the closing of its standalone corporate office
and reductions of staff and vehicle leases. Management will
continue efforts towards identifying further expense and lease
obligation savings. After receipt of proceeds from the
sale of Logixx, and full repayment of bank debt, strategic review
transaction costs and recent severance arrangements, the Company
will have zero debt and expects to have cash balances of $10
million, which is equivalent to approximately $0.38 per share. The
Company also expects to have positive run rate Adjusted EBITDA as
of the second quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.
Upon completion of the sale of Logixx, the
Company amended and restated the credit facilities with its bank to
provide for a demand-based revolving credit facility of $2 million
(currently undrawn) plus arrangements for corporate visa and cash
management requirements.
“I am pleased with the progress we have made
towards transforming our business over a short period of time and
we expect to make further announcements over the coming months”
said Manny Mounouchos, CEO and Board Chair of Avante.

Forward-Looking Information and
Cautionary Language
This news release may contain forward-looking
statements (within the meaning of applicable securities laws)
relating to the business of the Company and the environment in
which it operates. Forward-looking statements are
identified by words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “project”,
“expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “will”, “may” “estimate”, “pro-forma”
and other similar expressions. These statements are based on the
Company’s expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections. The
forward-looking statements in this news release are based on
certain assumptions. They are not guarantees of future performance
and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to control
or predict. A number of factors could cause actual results to
differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to
achieve the benefits expected as a result of the sale of Logixx
Security Inc., anticipated growth from acquisitions, new service
offerings and from development and deployment of new technologies
and the list of risk factors identified in the Company’s Management
Discussion & Analysis (MD&A), Annual Information Form (AIF)
and other continuous disclosure documents available at
www.sedar.com. There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate as actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in
these forward-looking statements. Readers, therefore, should not
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.
Further, these forward-looking statements are made as of the date
of this news release and, except as expressly required by
applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to publicly
update any such statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Non-IFRS Financial MeasuresThis
press release includes certain measures which have not been
prepared in accordance with IFRS such as EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA. These non-IFRS measures are not recognized under IFRS and,
accordingly, users are cautioned that these measures should not be
construed as alternatives to net income determined in accordance
with IFRS. The non-IFRS measures presented are unlikely to be
comparable to similar measures presented by other
issuers.References to EBITDA are to net income before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization. References to Adjusted EBITDA
are to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization of intangibles & capitalized commissions,
share-based payments, acquisition, integration and / or
reorganization costs and deferred financing costs. Neither EBITDA
nor Adjusted EBITDA is an earnings measure recognized by
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and do not
have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Management believes
that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure in evaluating
Avante’s performance. Readers are cautioned that neither EBITDA nor
Adjusted EBITDA should be construed as an alternative to net income
(as determined under IFRS), as an indicator of financial
performance or to cash flow from operating activities (as
determined under IFRS) or as a measure of liquidity and cash flow.
Avante’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from
methods used by other issuers and, accordingly, Avante’s Adjusted
EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other
issuers.
