VANCOUVER, April 26, 2016 – VirtualArmor International Inc. (“VirtualArmor” or the “Company“) (CSE: VAI) today announced fourth quarter (Q4) financial results for the three and twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015. All figures are in USD.
“2015 was a year of market expansion as we saw our top line grow by 53% over the previous year while continuing to partner with leading cyber security technology providers and increasing our customer base to include leading enterprises,” said Todd Kannegieter, CEO of VirtualArmor. “The revenue growth we saw over the past year was driven primarily by an increase in hardware/software sales to new customers as well as existing ones that upsized their orders. In addition, our managed services platform which serves as a source of multi-year recurring revenues saw an increase of 35% in monthly contractual billings at year-end 2015 vs. 2014 as initial product sales turned into three plus year contracts to manage the solutions purchased.”
“Looking forward into 2016, our company has a clear focus to continue partnering with leading cyber security technologies and expanding our sales channel to support incremental revenue growth across all of our business lines,” continued Todd Kannegieter. “In addition, we will continue scaling our hardware/software sales and increase our high margin managed services to become a larger percentage of overall revenues, and ultimately the main driving force to our bottom line.”
“Lastly, during the third quarter of 2015 we began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange and in doing so incurred a onetime listing expense of $4,166,285 which was the primary contributor to our net loss for the year,” said Todd Kannegieter. “In the coming quarters we anticipate this figure to normalize to better reflect our core earnings power as a business.”
