Date Online: 2021-08-26

SAINT-HUBERT, Quebec, Aug. 26, 2021 -- Urbanimmersive Inc. (“Urbanimmersive,” the “Company” or “UI”) (TSV-V UI) (OTCQB: UBMRF) today announced select financial results and presents business highlights for its third quarter ended June 30, 2021. The financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) can be viewed on SEDAR at https://www.sedar.com/ .

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The Company generated revenues of $1,102k for Q3-21 compared to $1,661k for Q3-20, a year-over-year decrease of $559k or 33.7%. This decrease of $559k is explained by the decrease in non-recurring 3D photography equipment sales (-$565k) which were last year heavily boosted by the Covid-19 first general lockdowns required to remotely tour properties for sale;

  • In a North American seller market with little or no marketing needs and a historically low number of listings and real estate transactions, the Company SaaS quarterly revenues were stable with an increase of 1% compared to Q3-20;

  • Q3-21 sales of immersive 3D tours have increased by 75% while compared to Q3-20;

  • On April 6, 2021, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of $3.0m. In June 2021, an accelerated growth plan was adopted and $1.6m was used to complete the strategic acquisitions of 3 photography agencies on June 30, 2021, namely EGP Technovirtuel Inc. ('EGP'), Graphic ID Solutions Inc. ('Graph ID') and La Clique Mobile. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's liquidity totaled $2.4m;

  • During the quarter, the Company began to launch its dollhouse, which is now integrated into its 3D immersive tours;

  • Urbanimmersive has selected to present UiMeet3D as the best innovative technology at the 2021 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings Emerging Business and Technology Forum in May 2021.

** EBITDA has been adjusted for the non-recurring expenses incurred for the private placement ($144k), subsidiary setup costs ($17k) and legal fees incurred for the Company’ listing on OTCQB ($17k).
*** The increase in other expenses is mainly explained by the non-recurring adjustment required to the theoretical interests and fair values of embedded derivatives on convertible debentures upon conversion into shares for a net adjustment of $1,599k for the first 9 months of the current fiscal year.

 

ACHIEVEMENTS

“During the quarter, despite having once again to navigate through a particularly difficult real estate market, we are satisfied of the results achieved. The addition of dollhouse to our 3D immersive tours and the integration of our first three photography agencies allow us to enhance our already complete set of solutions but above all to increase the adoption of our SaaS solutions such as our immersive 3D tours and UiMeet3D. This important addition of a photography service also diversifies our activities and increases our revenues and profits.

Given the strong growth observed recently in the use of our 3D immersive tours and floor plans, our market positioning, our good financial situation, in particular with cash in excess of $2.0m and a working capital of $1.5m, support from our bank and an expected return to normal in real estate activities, this gives us the flexibility to pursue our accelerated growth plan and full confidence in the future of Urbanimmersive”, said Ghislain Lemire, President and CEO.

The Company has also issued 556,000 shares at a price of $0.115 to some Officers and employees as variable compensation covering the most recent quarter.
