‘Strategic structural changes and debt reductions reflect big payoff’


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uniserve Communications Corporation (the “Company”) is pleased to announce fiscal year end results for 2017, showing a 13% increase in revenues to $7.1m, along with a sizeable $756k swing in EBITDA; from a negative ($549k) to a positive $208k. For the fiscal year of 2017, there was an overall net profit of $71k compared to a net loss of ($958K) in 2016.

Uniserve’s CEO, Nicholas Jeffery, who joined the Company in March of 2017, commented: “The board and I are delighted with these results as they are even better than we expected. It is an excellent reflection on the massive transformation of our business from a marketing, positioning, product development, core technology and commercial stand point. This builds the solid infrastructure we need to fulfill our goal of doubling revenues annually, going national and strengthening our managed services portfolio.”

During the fiscal year, the Company also reduced both long-term and short-term debt by $1.8M, as Uniserve continued its strategic changes and growth strategy.
