September Quarter results
Mobile technology specialist MGM Wireless Limited (ASX:MWR) has released first
quarter sales results showing strong growth quarter-on-quarter and on track for an
interim result comparable with the FY15 first half.
The company reported a 71% increase in sales revenue for the 3 months to 30
September 2015 in comparison with the previous corresponding period in FY15.
Timing differences between FY15 and FY16 first half sales means that sales
revenue for the comparative half year periods is expected to be broadly in line.

“The September quarter results have the business on track for a first half result
comparable with the record 2015 first half, consistent with our expectations” said
MGM Wireless Managing Director Mark Fortunatow.
Sales revenue for the 3 months to 30 September 2015 was $602,831, compared to
sales of $353,060 in the previous corresponding period. Mr Fortunatow said the
improvement was due to increased licence fees from the supply of attendance and
communication solutions to schools. A greater share of these fees were recognised
in the September quarter in the current year due to timing differences and contract
commencement periods.
Total revenue for the September quarter was also subject to favourable timing
differences. Total revenue for the quarter of $787,833 included Research and
Development Grant income of $177,656. The 2014 September quarter of $354,138

did not include R & D Grant income due to differences in timing, with the grant
monies having been received in the FY15 December quarter.
“While the difference in timing has made for some lumpy quarterly results, they
should wash-out over the half year. Current indications are that revenue for the six
months to December will be similar to that of the FY15 first half” he said.
Mr Fortunatow said the rollout of MGM Wireless’ most recent school product, MGM
School Events, was due to commence from January 2016. The product is expected
to progressively build a new revenue stream as it is adopted.
“MGM School Events proved very popular in trials last year. With many schools
having to communicate and manage at least one event every week of the school
year, we expect the productivity and convenience benefits of the product will be very
well received” he said.
Operational schools under contract rose from 1,134 to 1,194 year-on-year, an
increase of 5%.
Cash balances at 30 September were up 50% to $1.11 million. Mr Fortunatow said
the movement in cash since June 30 reflected seasonal patterns and the application
of cash to the development of new products and resources to support the company’s
growth.
MGM will be holding its 2015 Annual General Meeting on 13 November at the
Radisson Blu hotel, 27 O’Connell Street Sydney, at 11am.
