"With revenue up 9 percent year-over-year, we're happy to report twelve consecutive quarters of accelerating growth," said Guy Dubois, Chairman and CEO of Track Group. "We're very excited about the advances in our device-agnostic platform, smartphone applications and analytics software coming this fall."

Key Financial Results

Revenue increased 9% - For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized revenue from operations of $7,351,354 compared to $6,754,411 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $596,943 or 9%. The increase in revenue was principally the result of (i) increases in total growth of our North American monitoring operations driven by clients in Indiana and Virginia, and (ii) growth of offender monitoring in Chile.
Cash from operations increased 50% – The Company provided $2,937,513 of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $1,964,863 in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $972,650 or 50%.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 22% – Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2017 increased approximately 22% to $1,235,000 up from $1,015,000 in the same period in 2016.
Net income increased $2.5M - The Company had net income of $746,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of $1,783,946 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $2,530,495. This increase in net income is largely due a gain on settlement of milestone payments, offset by an increase in income tax expense.
Progress continues on restructuring - The Company continues to make progress in its Restructuring Plan approved in the quarter ended December 31, 2016, which is intended to reduce certain expenses, and reduce the Company's dependence on external sources of financing.

"I remain optimistic about the Company's ability to restructure its long-term debt," said Peter Poli, Track Group's Chief Financial Officer. "We are working closely with our board, our debt holders and our other stakeholders to come to the right solution."

The Company reaffirms Outlook from its May 12, 2017 news release indicating FY2017 Revenue of $30-33 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 12-15%.
