Financial Review
Total AUM at September 30, 2009 was $349.9 million, compared with $313.8 million at June 30, 2009 and $395.8 million at September 30, 2008. The increase was due primarily to improving capital markets. At quarter end, the Company's AUM consisted of $314.2 million of Mutual Funds and $35.7 million of Specialty Funds, compared with $333.1 million and $62.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2008.
Mavrix Mutual Funds had net redemptions of $3.0 million on gross sales of $15.9 million for the third quarter of 2009. This compares with $11.2 million in net redemptions on $11.8 million of gross sales for the same period in 2008.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenue totaled $1.5 million, compared with $2.9 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of the previously noted decline in AUM. Total expenses for the third quarter were $1.8 million, a 29% decrease from the prior year. The decline mainly reflects reduced selling, general, administration and other expenses for the quarter, as management has continued to focus on controlling costs.
EBITDA declined to $(236,540) for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with $371,568 in the third quarter of 2008. Mavrix reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $1.0 million, or $(0.11) per share, compared to a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 of $(0.4) million, or $(0.05) per share.
The Company's complete financial statements and MD&A will be available at www.mavrixfunds.com and www.sedar.com.
(i)References to EBITDA are to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a standardized earnings measure under GAAP. Management believes that in addition to net earnings, EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure as it provides investors with an indication of cash available for distribution, income taxes, working capital needs and capital expenditures. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative measure of liquidity and cash flows. The Company's method of calculating EBITDA may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other issuers.
