IGC Announces Financial Results for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2016

Expands Phytocannabinoid IP Portfolio


BETHESDA, Md., July 18, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE MKT:IGC) announces financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. 

Total revenue was approximately $6.37 million for the year ended March 31, 2016, as compared to approximately $7.68 million for the year ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of about 17.4%. In both fiscal years our main revenue driver was electronic component trading with revenue performance based on volume and product diversity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $2.7 million for fiscal 2016 as compared to approximately $4.14 million for fiscal 2015, an improvement of 34.8%. The overall SG&A for fiscal 2016 consists primarily of (i) non-cash charges associated with ESOP and other share issuances; (ii) one-time expenses associated with the acquisition of Ultima; and (iii) R&D expenses for the development of phytocannabinoid-based therapies. Adjusted for these events, the SG&A for fiscal 2016 reflects a steep cut in expenses associated with a further realignment of resources with the current business plan

Loss from operations was approximately $2.9 million in fiscal year 2016, as compared to approximately $4.34 million in fiscal year 2015. The improvement in operating loss year over year is attributed to lower SG&A.

In fiscal year 2016, our investment in others was approximately $5.17 million and at March 31, 2015 it was about $0.031 million. The increase in investment stems from the acquisition of land in Nagpur India that was part of the settlement with Sricon. This is a reclassification from Investment in affiliates.

At the end of fiscal year 2016, the Company has approximately $1.49 million in cash and cash equivalents.  In fiscal 2016, the non-GAAP total cash burn after adjusting for non-cash items that include ESOPs, interest payments paid in stock, foreign exchange losses, one time acquisition related expenses, and other miscellaneous non-cash items, was approximately $0.856 million.  This is attributable largely to public company related expenses as our operating business was marginally profitable.

Our strategy in fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017 is: (i) to develop an addressable market product portfolio of phytocannabinoid-based therapies for end of care and compassionate use; (ii) wind down the low margin electronic parts supply business; and (iii) re-focus on infrastructure and real estate development.
