Actualizado el 7 de noviembre, 2013 - 23.01hs.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/07/13 -- EQ Inc. (TSX: EQ) ("EQ Works") a leader in targeted mobile, social, video and display advertising, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. Total revenue from continuing operations for the quarter was $1.9 million, comparable to the $1.9 million recorded in the previous quarter, and adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter was approximately $550,000, as compared to a loss of $591,000 in the previous quarter.

Highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013


--  At September 30, the Company had cash on hand of $3.5 million and no
    debt
--  Significant investments were made during the quarter to support growth,
    including expansion of sales team and the launch of a comprehensive
    client services interface to improve operational efficiencies
--  Increased number of advertising agency clients by 40%
--  Launched Agency First, a program designed to extend in-house digital
    media buying capabilities to advertising agency partners

"During the third quarter we made significant investments in our people and our platform to better enable us to service our growing client base," said Geoffrey Rotstein, President and CEO. "Our ability to scale while improving customer experience and performance will be more evident in the fourth quarter as the investments we made begin to show results," added Rotstein. "We are now a formidable competitor in one of the most exciting spaces in advertising, and the future of programmatic media buying is only now being recognized."

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release includes a discussion of "Adjusted EBITDA", which is a non-IFRS financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from operations before; (a) depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of domain properties and other intangibles; (b) share-based payments, (c) restructuring and acquisition costs, (d) impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and other items, net. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the Company's operating performance because it provides information related to the Company's ability to provide operating cash flows for acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in its industry.

The non-IFRS financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of IFRS financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-IFRS financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-IFRS financial measures having the same or similar names. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-IFRS adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from the Company's non-IFRS measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

The table below reconciles net loss from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:
