Quorum Releases Fiscal Year 2011 Results

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwire – April 24, 2012) – Quorum Information Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:QIS) (“Quorum” or the “Company”) today released its Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 results. Quorum delivers its dealership management system (DMS), XSellerator™, and related services to automotive dealerships throughout North America. The Company is both an Integrated Dealership Management System (IDMS) strategic partner with General Motors Corporation (GM) and a strategic partner with Microsoft. Quorum's XSellerator product is broadly promoted to its target dealerships throughout North America by these prominent industry partners. Quorum also supplies its product to Isuzu, Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru, NAPA and Bumper to Bumper franchised dealership customers.

Maury Marks, Quorum's President and CEO made the following remarks about the Company's FY2011 results:

Some of our most significant measurable sales and operational results in FY2011 are as follows:

• Customer Base – Quorum reached 254 active dealership rooftops at the end of FY2011 after installing 22 dealership rooftops during the year. Our 254 dealership rooftops encompass 8,038 active users – approximately 32 users per rooftop.
• Key customer metrics are as follows:
  • Customer Satisfaction Index (“CSI”) semi-annual survey in Q3 FY2011 showed that 86% of end users reported “satisfied” or “very satisfied” and 89% of dealer principals reported “satisfied” or “very satisfied”.
  • Our monthly Support Center CSI survey reported an average of 94% “very satisfied” with the service received from our support team.
  • For our Support services, on average, we now close 75% of all support calls within 30 minutes (up from 60% in 2008, when we first started measuring this statistic) and 88% of all calls within 24 hours (up from 81% in 2008).

• Product – during FY2011 we released V4.7.1 and V4.7.2 of XSellerator to all of our dealership customers. The most extensive release was V4.7.1, which contained the largest number of software enhancements in a single release in the Company's history. In Q3 FY2011, we started the development on two ground breaking projects, which will be released in Q2 of 2012:
  • “Communicator” is designed to transform how dealership staff communicate with their customers and each other.
  • “Console” which is a new customizable workspace with a cadre of productivity tools to help dealerships improve customer service, increase utilization of XSellerator and track key performance indicators.

• Employees – none of the Company's accomplishments are possible without highly motivated, engaged people. Our sincere thanks to the people that drive Quorum. Every year we measure our staff engagement and we actively work towards improving our job satisfaction and engagement throughout the Company.

Financial Results highlights for FY2011 are as follows:

• Revenues increased from $7,696K in FY2010 to $7,728K in FY2011, largely due to:
  • Recurring support revenue increase of $412K as a result of having 254 active dealership rooftops as the end of FY2011 versus 240 at the end of FY2010.
  • A decrease of $358K in new implementation revenue which is a result of completing 22 installations in FY2011, down from 33 installations in FY2010.

• Earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (EBITDA) was $1,307K for FY2011 compared to $1,390K in FY2010. EBITDA decreased slightly because our salary cost increased. This short term increase is largely due to the cost of duplicate salaries from relocating some key roles within the Company from one office to another.
• Income before income taxes increased to $611K for FY2011 compared with $423K in FY2010. This change is primarily due to interest expense savings of $245K from the early retirement of the Corporation's 12% secured convertible debenture in December FY2010, offset by the increased salary cost noted above.
• Net income increased to $331K for FY2011 compared with $167K in FY2010. This change is consistent with our change in Income before income taxes.
• Comprehensive income increased to $372K in FY2011 compared with $3K in FY2010 due to a foreign exchange gain in FY2011 of $40K versus a foreign exchange loss in FY2010 of $163K.
• Working capital increased to $1,064K at the end of December 2011 compared with $640K at the end of December 2010. The $424K improvement in Quorum's working capital position is due to a continued focus on producing cash flow positive results each quarter.

The Company continues to grow our customer base, improve our service offerings and customer satisfaction and lead the market in product innovation. We also continue to deliver solid financial results and improve our cash and working capital positions by producing improved positive cash flow every year. Our single biggest challenge in 2012 is to grow our sales and implementation rates to the “next level.” We have already embarked on a number of initiatives that are focused on meeting this challenge.
