Solium Capital Inc. (TSX: SUM) (?Solium? or the ?Company?) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2012.
The Company?s revenues from operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 were consistent with those in the same periods of 2011. Revenue was $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $11.4 million) and $24.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $24.5 million). Earnings from operations increased to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $1.1 million) and to $4.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $4.0 million).
Excluding the impact of the Computershare matter discussed below, adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $2.2 million) and to $6.8 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $6.2 million), and net earnings were $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $0.5 million) and $2.5 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $2.8 million).
Inclusive of all items, net earnings were $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $0.5 million) and $10.3 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $2.8 million).
The key factors affecting the results in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 are:
-- Computershare - On April 3, 2012, the Company received notice from Computershare of its decision to retain a stock options and restricted stock administration business that it acquired on December 31, 2011 as part of a larger transaction. As a consequence of this decision, effective April 3, 2012, the U.S. $17.3 million amount due to Computershare as at December 31, 2011 was extinguished and ceased to be an obligation of Solium. The impact of this on the Company's second quarter income statement is a gain of $15.6 million partially offset by a charge to intangible assets and goodwill of $7.8 million. -- Strategic initiatives - The Company incurred significant expenses during the first six months of 2012 in establishing its new operations in the UK, obtaining a brokerage license in Canada, and pursuing other potential business opportunities. -- SRED ITC's - In the second quarter of 2012, the Company applied for investment tax credits under the Canadian and Alberta governments' scientific and experimental development ("SRED") programs. The application represented a claim for 2011 SRED expenditures. Based on the history of successful SRED claims made in previous years, the Company accrued $645,000 as a reduction to operating expenses in the second quarter of 2012 (2011: $Nil), and $1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 (2011: $Nil) relating to SRED claims. -- CapMX Acquisition - On May 15, 2012, the Company closed the acquisition of the CapMX business of SVB Analytics, Inc. CapMX provides record keeping services for grant based incentive plans and awards to private companies and venture capital investors in the United States.

Notes:
1. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is a non-IFRS financial measure which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to users as it reflects the net earnings prior to the effect of non-operating expenses such as finance costs, income tax, amortization, foreign exchange gain or loss, gain on extinguishment of amount due to Computershare, and intangibles and goodwill charges. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in measuring the financial performance of the Company. Management monitors Adjusted EBITDA against budget and past results on a regular basis. The following is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings:
------------------------------------------------ Three months ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 ------------------------------------------------ 2012 2011 2012 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Adjusted EBITDA 2,683,364 2,214,296 6,828,062 6,176,472 Foreign exchange gain 137,087 82,415 123,267 456,500 Finance costs (90,714) (342,956) (410,237) (702,740) Amortization expense (1,023,660) (1,081,965) (2,233,938) (2,143,003) Gain on extinguishment of amount due to Computershare 15,630,180 - 15,630,180 - Intangibles and goodwill charge (7,796,894) (7,796,894) - Income tax expense (1,210,800) (325,102) (1,842,655) (981,117) ------------------------------------------------ Net earnings 8,328,563 546,688 10,297,785 2,806,112 ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ 2. Earnings before income taxes excluding the impact of the Computershare matter was $1,706,077 in the second quarter of 2012 and $4,307,154 in the six months ended June 30, 2012. 3. Net earnings excluding the impact of the Computershare matter was $495,277 in the second quarter of 2012 and $2,464,499 in the six months ended June 30, 2012. 4. Diluted net earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share excluding the impact of the Computershare matter was $0.012 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $0.059 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. 5. Diluted shares as presented equals issued and outstanding common shares plus outstanding stock options and restricted share units.
