Quest Solution Provides Outlook for 2015
HENDERSON, NV / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2015 / Quest Solution, Inc, "The Company" (OTCQB: QUES), a leading provider in the technology, software, and mobile data collection systems business, today provided forward-looking financial guidance for FY2015.
Mr. Tom Miller, Quest Solutions Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "As we move into the second half of FY2015, business activity is notably increasing. We will realize a greater revenue ramp, both from organic sales and recent acquisitions, an escalating and diversified backlog and pipeline, and the implementation of improved processes and controls to give our team increased visibility and forecasting of our business model. Beginning with the first quarter of 2015 we began to recognize service and software contract revenue and the related costs and expenses over the life of the agreement, typically 1-5 years. As such, in order to give an accurate comparative metric our revenue outlook will be based on booked revenue."
"Our outlook for the remainder of FY2015 includes solid revenue bookings growth with improved operating profitability showcasing the leverage in our financial model, allowing us to provide key target financial metrics to the investment community for the remainder of 2015," Continued Mr. Miller.
FY 2015 Outlook:
- Booked Revenue of $62-$68 million, representing top line growth between 5-15%
- Deferred hardware and service contract revenue approximately 20% of revenue and is a leading indicator of the Company's solutions-based strategy
- Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the full year 2015 to show slight improvement as we exit the year
- Management anticipating generating positive Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter, with further improvement each quarter for the remainder of the year
*Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization of acquisition intangibles and stock-based compensation for employee and director stock options.
"This outlook does not reflect the proposed and pending acquisition of ViascanQData, which is expected to contribute incremental revenue of $22 - $25 million (USD) and be accretive to our Adjusted EBITDA," added Mr. Miller.
About Quest Solution, Inc.
Quest Solution, Inc. is a leading provider in the technology, software, and mobile data collection systems business. In November 2014, the Company announced that Bar Code Specialties, Inc. (BCS) joined with Quest Solution, Inc. The Company intends on continuing to acquire existing companies with revenues and positive cash flow.
Quest Solution, Inc. serves as a national mobility and data collection systems integrator with a focus on design, delivery, deployment and support of fully integrated mobile solutions. The Company takes a consultative approach by offering end to end solutions that include hardware, software, communications and full lifecycle management services.

The recent BCS acquisition is in addition to the recently announced creation of a wholly-owned division focused on commercializing Intellectual Property, Patents and Distribution of industry-specific technologies in an array of new verticals. The new division will focus on the acquisition of existing intangibles, which we anticipate will build future value to the company.
