Titan (OTC BB: TTGL) Turns Corner - Generates First EPS in Company History

Well, I've been grinding through the SEC Q2 filing for TTGL today, and there is still some work to do. One issue is crystal clear- the direction of the company. It just keeps getting better every time they release financial results. TTGL turned the corner in Q2 to a profitable company for the first time in their history, and it's probably just a question of time until someone decides to take a pretty big bite out of this stock.

Just so we're clear- I often talk about positive cash flow vs EPS (earnings per share). Today's FASB (accounting Standards boards) regs make accounting treatments crazy. This is not the early 60's when IBM made a simple profit by taking in more cash than they spend. When a company does bring in more money than it spends- that is positive cash flow. I like it when companies turn positive cash flow- you know why? Because if you are taking in more money then you are spending, you can be around for a long time, and you don't need to do any stupid financings.

However, if you have EPS (earnings per share) after subtracting all the non-cash stuff, that is far better. EPS makes stocks sexy. That's what has happened with TTGL- they are now making so much money they are actually generating EPS- $.03 per share in their fiscal Q1 (end of February), or $1.5 million on $36 million in revenues.

While the profits are nice, consider the turn around from Q1 last year. Here are some facts:

  • Q1 of '06: Revenues of $21.3 million
  • Q1 of '07: Revenues of $31 million (45% increase)
  • Q1 of '06: Losses of $3 million
  • Q1 of '07: Profits of $1.5 million ($.03 per share)
According to TTGL's press release, the company generated $8.6 million in EBITDA profits. The paid about $1.5 million in interest, so the company was really cash flow positive to the tune of about $7 million in Q1- this is great stuff. If they really are generating $7 million in excess cash flow per quarter, this company is well on its way to very strong fiscal performance.

There are still only 50 million shares I&O- no increase in that arena - this bodes well for stock price appreciation- they aren't doing any more stupid financings.

Here's the chart:

The stock has been grinding in this $1.20 to $1.40 range for most of 2007 after making an outstanding multi month move in 2006. There are really no retracement levels to look at with this stock- it is all about a breakout at this point.

The trend lines you see drawn depict an "ascending wedge". As you can see, it is coming to a point. Volume is drying up. This stock should be ready to make a move and break out of this wedge- either up or down. If it breaks down we look at retracement levels. If it breaks up, we look at extensions to come up with an LPO (logical profit objective).

In light of the company's announcement post close today- it strikes me a breakout to the upside is more likely. The overall market is getting stronger, as is this company.

With 50 million I&O, the company is still trading with a market cap of only $62.5 million with an annual revenue run rate of $144 million. They turned the corner to profitability. 

The stock is still cheap- it's still cheap because they need to make some balance sheet improvements in order to garner a much higher valuation. When, and if they collect on the excise taxes the company could be debt free, which would provide a whopping return for investors with the courage to accumulate at these levels. 

My thoughts remain the same- I still like the stock for $3 longer term with an SSL of $1.04. Tomorrow could be a good day for this stock.

Here is the complete text of today's release for your review:

Titan Global Holdings Reports Record $36 Million in Revenues for Fiscal Q2 2007

Monday April 16, 4:01 pm ET

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 $9.6 million or 45% increase from the same period a year ago. The Communications Division also reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $6.6 million compared to $654,000 for the same period last year.

During the second quarter, Titan strengthened its owned and leased network platform to terminate international calls, launched Picante Movil and Titan's new wireless product offering leveraging the Company's flagship Picante brand.

"Our Communications Division continues to increase market share and position itself for sustained growth and profitability," said Kurt Jensen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan's Communications Division. "Throughout the remainder of fiscal 2007, Titan's Communications Division will further expand its owned and leased network platform through organic and strategic initiatives, pursue strategic acquisitions in the wireless space and work to improve the profitability of our overall operations."

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."
