Creative Realities announces 3Q19 financial results


LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Realities, Inc. ("Creative Realities," "CRI," or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CREX, CREXW), a leading provider of digital marketing solutions, announced its financial results for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2019.

Rick Mills, Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "First and foremost I would like to thank Alec Machiels, who has stepped down effective November 8, 2019 as the Company's Chairman of the Board, for his service to the Company over the past 5 years. Alec has provided excellent leadership for the Board and to me as Chief Executive Officer of CRI. That said, I am incredibly excited by the opportunity to announce Dennis McGill as Chairman of the Board effective November 8, 2019. Dennis has had a tremendous career assisting various public and private companies accelerate their growth and we look forward to him joining our team as we look to take further steps to grow this company."

Mr. Mills added, "CRI achieved quarterly revenue of $6.7 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2019, resulting in year-to-date revenue $25.5 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2019. These results represent 48% growth year-over-year for the nine-months. The Company achieved Adjusted EBITDA of $426 thousand in the quarter and $1.8 million year-to-date, reflecting the operating leverage inherent in our model as we grow revenues."

2019 Third Quarter Financial Overview

Mr. Mills concluded, "Our current year results continue to validate our thesis about the digital signage industry and the ability of CRI to produce revenue growth without corresponding increases in our expense structure, ultimately translating into improved quality of earnings. We are particularly proud of our quarterly and year-to-date operating expenses, which have effectively remained flat despite the completion of the acquisition of Allure Global Solutions, Inc. in November 2018. Since execution of that acquisition, the Company continues to experience an increase in both the volume and size of opportunities through both referrals and requests for proposal from potential customers. We continue to believe that our end-to-end services offering positions us well within the industry to compete for new and growing opportunities with partners, particularly potential enterprise customers in a variety of key verticals. We remain committed to further execution of our strategy to gain more scale and act as a key participant in what we believe should be an industry rollup aimed at driving shareholder value."
