Robust Financial Performance Highlighted
by Net Income of $1.5 Million and Reported $8.6 Million in EBITDA
RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Titan Global Holdings, Inc (OTCBB:TTGL - News), a high-growth diversified
holding company, reported record financial results for its fiscal quarter
ended February 28, 2007, highlighted by the Company's record growth in
revenues to $36 million, a 38% increase over the $26 million for the comparable
period the previous year, with net operating income of $1.5 million, or
$.03 earnings per share. The Company also reported $8.6 million in earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the
quarter, with all business segments reporting continued strong revenue
growth.
During the second fiscal
quarter of 2007, Titan continued efforts to organically grow revenues,
surging 20% above the first quarter of 2007. The Company also completed
refinancing which, in part, eliminated most convertible debentures, enabling
the Company to repurchase retire certain stock and more favorably structure
working capital needs. These efforts coupled with continued positive financial
performance reduced Titan's working capital deficit from $35.8 million
at the close of the first quarter of 2007 to less than $9 million at the
close of this fiscal quarter.
"Strategically, the quarter's
highlights were the continued growth and positioning of our Communications
Division and the announced plans to spin-off Titan's printed circuit business,"
said Bryan Chance, Chief Executive Officer of Titan Global Holdings. "The
spin-off allows Titan to accelerate strategic transaction flow at all divisions
which will significantly build overall shareholder value."

Communications Division
The Communications Division
reported record second quarter revenue of $30.9 million, an increase of

amortization of $6.6 million compared to $654,000 for the same period last

Titan strengthened its owned and leased network platform to terminate international
calls, launched Picante Movil and Titan's new wireless product offering

Electronics and Homeland
Security Division
The Electronics and Homeland
Security Division reported increased revenues of $5.1 million, a 9% increase
from the same quarter last year. The Electronics and Homeland Security
division reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
of $3.2 million compared to negative result of $344,000 for the same period
last year. The increase in the EBITDA is primarily related to the gains
recognized on the extinguishment of the convertible debentures.
The revenue growth Titan
achieved was in large part due to the addition of more than 50 new customers
which is a direct result of the Company's new 'rep centric' sales organization.
The Company's gross profit margins were compressed as a result of increased
material cost and the decline in demand for quick turn services.
"We continued to demonstrate
progress with increased revenue and continue to gain market share during
a time of transition in the market for printed circuit boards," said Curtis
Okumura, President of Titan's Electronics and Homeland Security Division.
"We will continue to identify operational efficiencies to increase profitability
in the printed circuit board companies and look to continue to increase
market penetration for the remainder of fiscal 2007."
