SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
XPEL Technologies Corp. (TSXV: DAP.U), a leading supplier of automotive paint protection and window films, announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Mr. Ryan Pape, President and Chief Executive Officer of XPEL, commented, “Our second quarter revenue was the highest revenue quarter by far in the Company’s history as we continued to execute on our core ‘Get Close to the Customer’ strategy. Customer demand was strong throughout our markets, particularly in Canada, and we saw strong growth across all of our product lines.
“Gross margins for the quarter remained relatively steady versus the prior year and we continue to invest in infrastructure, sales, marketing and product development to drive growth and scale the business.”
Mr. Pape concluded, “Our strategy positions us well to effectively leverage our distribution channels and our brand to drive solid top and bottom line growth.”
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2017:
Revenue: Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $17.0 million, a 25% increase compared to prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 26.3% to $17.3 million. The revenue increase is primarily related to increased sales of XPEL’s core products of automotive protection film and window film.
Gross Margin: Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 27.1% as compared to 27.5% in the second quarter last year. Direct costs include the costs of our physical goods, the costs related to our Design Access Program software, and the costs of labor directly associated with the production of product.
Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3.4 million or 19.8% of revenue as compared to $2.4 million or 17.8% of revenue in the second quarter of 2016. The expense increase in the quarter was primarily due to increased personnel costs, increased occupancy, information technology and travel related costs to support the growth of the business. These costs were partially offset by a reduction in professional fees. Additionally, the Company changed its depreciation method from double declining balance to straight line, resulting in additional depreciation expense of approximately $.09 million as compared to the prior year quarter.
EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) increased to $1.7 million, or 6.23% as compared to EBITDA of $1.6 million in the same prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, EBITDA increased 6.29%.
Net Income: Net income for the fiscal 2017 second quarter was $0.75 million or $0.027 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $0.76 million or $0.030 per basic and diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017:
Revenue: Revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2017 was $29.7 million, a 19% increase compared to revenue of $25.0 million in the same prior year period. The revenue increase is primarily related to increased sales of XPEL’s core products of automotive protection film and window film.
Gross Margin: Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.8% as compared to 28.2% in the first six months of last year. Gross profit in the first half of 2017 was impacted by higher warranty costs in the first quarter related to film quality issues from products sold late last year and early in the first quarter of the current year. Direct costs include the costs of our physical goods, the costs related to our Design Access Program software, and the costs of labor directly associated with the production of product.
Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6.7 million or 22.6% of revenue as compared to $4.8 million or 19.2% of revenue in the first six months of 2017. The expense increase in the quarter was primarily due to increased personnel costs to support the growth of the business; marketing related costs associated with our dealer conference in the first quarter; and increased legal fees resulting from litigation which was settled in the first quarter. Additionally, the Company changed its depreciation method from double declining balance to straight line, resulting in additional depreciation expense of approximately $0.18 million as compared to the prior year period.
EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) decreased to $2.1 million in the first half of 2017 as compared to EBITDA of $2.8 million in the same prior year period.
Net Income: Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2017 was $0.69 million or $0.025 per basic and diluted share, compared with net income of $1.5 million or $0.057 per basic and diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period.

Non-IFRS Measures
In addition to disclosing results in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB, the Company also provides supplementary non-IFRS measures as a method of evaluating the Company’s performance.
Management uses EBITDA as a measure of company-wide performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Management believes EBITDA is a useful measure to allow period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to measures presented by other Companies. EBITDA excludes components that are significant in understanding and assessing our results of operations and cash flows. EBITDA does not represent funds available for Management's discretionary use and is not intended to represent cash flow from operations. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for Net Income prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
