ENGINEERING.com Incorporated Announces Third Quarter 2008 Results
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 4, 2008) - ENGINEERING.com Incorporated (TSX VENTURE:EGN), developer of the ENGINEERING.com online resource and business for engineers today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2008.
ENGINEERING.com revenue was $399,136 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to revenue of $566,176 for the third quarter of 2007. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008, totaled ($113,003) and ($0.00) per Common Share compared with a net loss of ($66,220) and ($0.00) for the same period a year ago.
The Company experienced sales growth during the third quarter and year to date from sales of education titles, most notably CATIA and from increases in online advertising revenue. Total reported revenue for the quarter declined, however, due to the impact of declines in revenues from a formerly related party, Rand Worldwide.
Operating profit (EBITDA) measured as earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and stock-based compensation, was a loss of ($47,751) or $0.00 per Common Share for the third quarter of 2008 compared with an operating profit of $4,684 or ($0.00) per Common Share for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The operating expenses in the latest period were $310,136 compared to $341,027 for the third quarter a year earlier.
"During the third quarter the Company experienced strong growth in the number of visitors to our website and record gains in new members," said John Hayes, President of ENGINEERING.com. "This in turn is generating a growing stream of advertising revenue."
As at September 30, 2008, the Company had a cash balance of $281,875 compared to a cash balance of $183,522 as at September 30, 2007.
