Press Release
Creative Vistas Inc. Expects $7.5 Million in Revenues,
Positive EBITDA for Fourth Quarter of 2006
Tuesday January 23, 11:30 am ET
Full Year 2006 Revenues Projected to Reach
$30 Million; EBITDA Marks 4th Straight Quarter in Black
WHITBY, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Creative Vistas, Inc., (OTCBB:CVAS - News),
a leading provider of advanced video security and surveillance
products as well as broadband-related services, today
offered updated financial guidance for the fourth quarter
and full year ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 are expected
to total approximately $7.5 million, up from $1.7 million
from the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase is due
primarily to the revenues from Cancable, a subsidiary
acquired at the beginning of 2006. For all of 2006,
Creative Vistas expects revenues to total approximately
$30 million, compared to $8.5 million in 2005. Again,
the increase is due largely to the Cancable acquisition.
The Company had originally projected revenues of $26
million for 2006.
Due to the highly volatile nature of derivative values tied to Creative Vista's
stock price and the impact of these values on the bottom
line, the company is not providing guidance at this
time for net income or earnings per share. However,
it expects that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA) will be positive. . This represents
the fourth consecutive quarter of positive EBITDA for
Creative Vistas, which also expects to reach positive
EBITDA for the fiscal year ending 2006.
"This new guidance shows the Company's success
in executing its growth strategy financially and strategically.
The Company continues to reap the benefits of the Cancable
acquisition and other aspects of its growth strategy
that includes increased sales and margins," said
Creative Vistas Chairman and CEO Sayan Navaratnam. "Cancable
has provided a substantial new stream of revenue, and
as importantly, it also has given us a potential platform
and an addressable consumer market- through its cable
provisioning, networking and other services - to expand
the market for our original core business, networked
video surveillance services. We enter into 2007 with
a strong platform for growth in revenues, margins, and
technology within all our divisions. We are now on a
fast track to full profitability amid sharply increasing
sales."
