Wayne,PA (PRWEB) August 14, 2012
International Commercial Television, Inc. (OTCQB: ICTL) (“ICTV” or “the Company”), a premier company employing prominently profiled infomercial campaigns to market and brand unique products to the global consumer through multi-channels of distribution, is announcing the following:
On August 14, 2012, the Company filed its second quarter Form 10-Q reporting revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $ 3,836,498 and $ 6,491,809, as compared to $ 687,142 and $ 1,219,380 for the comparative periods in 2011, an increase of approximately 458% and 432%, respectively. The Company also reported a net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $ 112,474 and $ 90,866, as compared to a net income of $ 5,588 and a net loss of $ 227,941 for the comparative periods in 2011. Included in the net income calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is $ 111,730 and $ 225,041 of stock based compensation expense that the Company incurred due to the issuance of stock options and warrants to employees and consultants.
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined and reconciled to GAAP) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $ 235,872 and $ 332,063, an increase of $ 212,872 and $ 530,896 during the comparative periods in 2011.
The primary reason for the increase in revenue is the continued success of the new Derma WandTM infomercial. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, sales relating to DermaWandTM from direct response television (DRTV) were approximately $ 2,254,000 and $ 3,930,000 as compared to approximately $ 40,000 and $ 79,000 during the comparative periods in 2011.
A secondary reason for the growth in revenue was an increase in international sales. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, international sales revenue for Derma WandTM was approximately $ 1,352,000 and $ 1,947,000, as compared to approximately $ 155,000 and $ 301,000 during the comparative quarter in 2011. The increase in sales internationally is primarily due to the new DermaWandTM infomercial running in Europe, Asia, and South America.
Richard Ransom, President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, The second quarter set records for ICTV for net sales, net income and EBITDA for a three month period. While all of us at ICTV are excited about this achievement, I firmly believe ICTV is only in the beginning of its growth cycle. The Company continues to increase the media exposure for the DermaWandTM infomercial and is excited to be testing the brand new Glo-BsTM (glow in the dark childrens toy blocks) short-form infomercial this week. Our management is committed to continuing to source and develop top quality consumer products to add to our marketing portfolio.
