LOYALIST TO SPIN-OFF HOUSING BUSINESS
Loyalist Group Ltd.'s board of directors has approved a strategic plan to spin off its student housing business into a separate entity. The Company is confident that transitioning the housing business into a stand-alone entity will better position it to capitalize on market opportunities and enhance shareholder value, while at the same time allowing Loyalist to focus on its fast-growing ESL, Career-College and Agency businesses.
"After a year-long pilot program we've grown our housing business into a small but profitable revenue-generating operation. Of far greater importance, we've learned how best to grow it substantially and rapidly, and to that end we feel it necessary to spin it off and raise capital separately. Our recent acquisitions of two overseas agencies will allow us not only to significantly grow our education business but also our housing subsidiary," said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ryu.
"After a year of study we have come to realize that the growth opportunities in student housing are significant, from catering not only to Loyalist's large and fast-growing student body but also those of other schools, not limited to the ESL space. We believe that a large presence in the lucrative student housing market will deliver significant returns to our shareholders and I'm very eager to ramp up our efforts."
Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions for a transaction of this nature including, but not limited to, the receipt of all required corporate, regulatory and other third-party approvals. Loyalist intends to maintain an interest in the new housing entity post-spinoff.

Loyalist to Acquire Largest Agency in South Korean
Nachrichtenquelle: Marketwired | 24.11.2014, 15:01 | 53 Aufrufe | 0 | druckversion
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 24, 2014) - Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist", the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LOY) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all the shares of Uhak.com ("Uhak"), a South Korean based student recruiting agency, providing information and registration services to South Korean students looking to study abroad.

Uhak had consolidated revenue of $10.3 million, representing student tuition fees of approximately $40 million, and adjusted net income of $1.0 million (EBITDA $1.2 million) in the 12-month period ended December 2013.

"This acquisition adds a new dimension to Loyalist's vertical integration strategy," said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ryu. "By acquiring one of our largest agency partners, we will be in a position to reduce our direct costs of attracting students, as well as strengthening ourselves a source for growing our student population, with an expected annualized additional net benefit of approximately $2.0 million within the first year. We look forward to welcoming the Uhak team into the Loyalist family."

Loyalist will pay $8.1 million for Uhak, of which $5.3 million will be paid in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments, and $2.8 million will be paid through the issuance of 5,384,615 Loyalist common shares at a price of $0.52 per share, with $2.2 million of such shares being held in escrow for a period up to 24 months following closing as security for certain defined post-closing adjustments. The parties expect to complete the transaction on or around December 5, 2014.

Mr. Ryu also stated "It should be noted that students do not necessarily have to attend one of our schools for Loyalist to benefit from students going overseas to study, as we will share in the commission fees for students who might choose to attend a school in another country (for example Australia, the USA or England)".

Completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the Bank of Korea.

LOYALIST ANNOUNCES NEW $18.5 MILLION CREDIT FACILITY

Loyalist Group Ltd. has entered into a new $18.5-million credit facility, replacing the company's current credit facility thus adding an additional $18-million of capital to support Loyalist's growth.

"The additional capital provided by the new credit facility will allow us to fund our aggressive growth and acquisition program," said chief executive officer Andrew Ryu. "We believe the ability to obtain a facility of this size signifies a new phase in the maturation of Loyalist."

Mr. Ryu added that: "Previously we have raised equity capital to fund our acquisition plans. The credit facility will now allow us to manage our capital structure in a more efficient manner and to continue to grow without diluting our existing shareholders."

The new credit facility expires on Nov. 17, 2019, and comprises a $3.5-million revolving operating facility and a $15-million term loan acquisition facility. The facilities are being provided by Bank of Montreal. Both facilities bear interest at the Canadian dollar prime rate plus 1.25 per cent to 1.75 per cent, depending on the company's debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratio. The acquisition facility may be drawn upon in periodic advances as required until Nov. 17, 2016, and can be repaid at any time without penalty.

The new credit facility is secured by a first charge over all of the assets of Loyalist and its subsidiaries, contains positive, negative and financial covenants, and includes other usual and customary terms and conditions.

INTRODUCTION
Different languages are constantly being spoken all around us. Think about it - on any given day, how many different kinds do you hear? The nature of today's globalized world practically demands the study of multiple languages, both on a personal and a professional level. Companies and governments understand the need to invest in language training, and so should you. I believe that this article will sway you with some very compelling reasoning, as to why I like this company, and why now presents an excellent entry point.
Loyalist Group Ltd. (OTC:LGLTF) is an educational organization that owns and operates private English as a Second Language (or "ESL") schools, career and community colleges, and secondary schools for foreign students, with 25 campuses throughout Canada. I believe that it's a very under-appreciated story yet to be fully understood by the market, and with exponential growth potential through the roll-up of a segment of the private education market in Canada.
The overwhelming majority of accredited schools in this highly fragmented industry are run by "Mom & Pop" type operators, and are undercapitalized with no real exit strategy. Loyalist is in the early stages of consolidating the sector and has already made 16 acquisitions over three years, reaching an expected revenue run rate of ~$63 million for 2014. The market size in Canada for ESL alone is ~$788 million (~$500 million is tuition fees), hence there is significant room to consolidate the sector over time, especially given the absence of any direct competition.
In addition to M&A, we have begun to see meaningful and evident organic growth. During 2013, revenues (excluding acquisitions) grew 4.5% Y/Y; up to 8% 1Q14, and 12% 2Q14.
I have derived a target price of $0.99 for Loyalist based on 2015 forecasts using a 10x EV/EBITDA multiple, which represents an upside of ~133% from Friday's close. I believe that Loyalist could exit 2014 with a revenue run rate of ~$66.1M, EBITDA of ~$8.7M, cash of ~$5M and fully diluted shares of ~148M. I believe that Loyalist could exit 2015 with a revenue run rate of ~$115.5M, EBITDA of ~$16.8M, and no need for further dilution. Debt can be used to supplement cash in acquisitions, and organic growth will improve the bottom line as well as EBITDA.

Loyalist Announces Record Second Quarter 2014 Results

Published: Aug 27, 2014 7:01 a.m. ET

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Aug 27, 2014 (Marketwired via COMTEX) -- Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist" or the "Company") (LOY) today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Second quarter revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was a record $17.2 million, an increase of 262% over the same period in 2013. Income from operations was $2.2 million, a 157% increase over the same period in 2013, while net income was $1.3 million, an increase of 182% over the same period in 2013. Cash flow has improved by $1.0 million, to $0.8 million compared to a year ago.

Revenues continue to rise as a result of acquisitions closed through June 30, 2014, as well as organic growth of $600,000 or 12.1 % on the base business, as enrollments continued to trend higher. Net income and cash flow were adversely impacted by acquisition, integration and restructuring costs of $700,000 ($400,000 in the year ago period).

"Our second quarter demonstrated the potential of our platform with strong organic growth and record revenues," said CEO Andrew Ryu. "In a quarter without any acquisitions, the strength of our core business is evident in the numbers."

Mr. Ryu added that, "The second quarter results exceeded our expectations, and continue to reflect the seasonal nature of our industry. We are pleased with the performance of our recent acquisitions."

On the integration front, Mr. Ryu commented that, "The successful integration of our acquisitions is critical to the overall profitability of Loyalist and we continue to devote significant resources to that end. As well, it is important that we build a strong central infrastructure to control and manage the business. The growth rate of our corporate costs is slowing and we expect to see savings in the future to leverage our investment."

"The student housing pilot continues to show promise with revenues for the quarter in excess of $150,000. We will continue to actively grow this program."

The following table summarizes and compares three month results for the periods ended June 30, year over year:

Mr. Andrew Ryu reports

LOYALIST ANNOUNCES RECORD REVENUES, EARNINGS AND CASH FLOW

Loyalist Group Ltd. today released record financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

First-quarter revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $15.7-million, an increase of 219 per cent over the same period in 2013. Income from operations was $1.7-million, a 68-per-cent increase over the same period in 2013, while net income was $1.6-million, an increase of 87 per cent over the same period in 2013. Cash flow from operations was $2.2-million compared with negative $895,883 a year ago.

Revenues continue to rise as a result of the acquisitions closed through March 31, 2014, as well as organic growth of $400,000, arising from higher enrolment and increased tuition fees. Net income and cash flow were adversely impacted by $500,000 of one-time acquisition, integration and restructuring costs ($200,000 in the year-ago period). Excluding these, operating income would have been $2.2-million and cash from operations $2.7-million.

"Of particular importance, the first quarter demonstrated that Loyalist can not only grow its top- and bottom line, but also generate strong cash flows from its school operations," said chief executive officer Andrew Ryu. "Ultimately, our long-term goal is to create cash with which to self fund acquisitions and, as the business matures, start to return cash to shareholders."

Speaking to the first quarter, Mr. Ryu added: "Our topline benefited from acquiring schools and from better execution in schools we owned or acquired. Our first-quarter 2014 results are in line with our expectations of the seasonal nature of the first quarter with net income at 9 per cent of gross revenues. The integration of our recent six acquisitions continues, and we expect that the next three quarters will show the results in the form of better profit margins.

"Our assets support our current run-rate expectation of $63.0-million for 2014. We continue to focus on integrating schools and improving the company's overall profitability. While our corporate costs more than doubled over the same period last year, we expect them to stay fixed, and perhaps fall, moving forward, while our revenue continues to grow, which will create the leverage needed to see meaningful profit and cash-flow growth.

"We will also aggressively pursue our student housing and franchise businesses. These are low-risk, high-margin pursuits that allow Loyalist to create greater shareholder value from its asset base. Our students collectively spend millions of dollars a year on rent, and we plan to capture a significant share of that spend over time."

Loyalist generated $120,000 of revenue from its student housing pilot program and modest initial franchise fees in the first quarter of 2014. The company expects both lines of business to accelerate.

The table summarizes and compares three-month results for the periods ended March 31, year over year.

Three months ended March 31,
2014 2013

Revenue $ 15,714,747 $ 4,932,219
Gross profit $ 6,555,981 $ 2,131,524
Income from operations $ 1,732,107 $ 1,030,155
Net income $ 1,562,658 $ 833,799
Adjusted EBITDA $ 1,758,028 $ 1,079,480
Loyalist has a number of fiscal goals in 2014:

To close on accretive acquisitions -- Study English in Canada and Upper Career College of Business and Technology closed with an effective date of Feb. 1, 2014;
Close on finance offerings to support the acquisition pipeline -- closed $10.01-million bought-deal private placement in January, 2014;
Centralize all accounting functions in the corporate office and roll out the company's custom-built ERP system to provide standardization of the various student databases, billing/collection and human resource functions across all schools.
With a cash balance of $3.1-million as at May 26, 2014, and anticipated profitability, the company has the funds to meet all of its operating obligations and to continue growing by acquisition without raising additional capital.

We seek Safe Harbor.

Loyalist Announces Record Revenues and Record Income from Operations
V.LOY | April 30, 2014
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 30, 2014) - Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist") (TSX VENTURE:LOY) today announced record financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue for 2013 was $31 million, an increase of 126% over 2012. Net income was $1.8 million, while income for operations was $3,120,034, a 17% increase over 2012.

Revenues continue to rise as a result of six acquisitions made during 2012 and 2013, as well as organic growth arising from higher enrolment and increased tuition fees. Net income was adversely impacted by $2.1 million in one-time acquisition, integration and restructuring costs.

"2013 was a year of aggressive growth," said CEO Andrew Ryu. "Our top line benefited from buying new schools and from better execution in schools we owned or acquired. Our gross profit - revenue less the school-level costs of teacher salaries, rents and so on - almost doubled, but was lower on a percentage basis because we acquired a big school, KGIC, late in the year. The fourth quarter is always the slowest in our industry because of the Christmas holiday, so revenue falls but salaries and rents must still be paid. This lowers our gross profit. We expect gross margin percentage to bounce back for 2014, when we'll report school results for the whole year."

"Our assets support our current run-rate expectation of $63 million for 2014. We expect to focus on integrating schools this year, improving the company's overall profitability. While our overhead or corporate costs, more than doubled last year, we expect them to stay fixed, and perhaps fall, moving forward, which should create the leverage needed to see meaningful profit growth. We therefore expect to see margins improve this year."

"We will also aggressively pursue our student housing and franchise businesses. These are low-risk, high-margin pursuits that allow Loyalist to create greater shareholder value from its asset base. Our students collectively spend millions of dollars a year on rent, and we expect to capture a significant share of that spend over time."

Our long-term objectives are intact: top-line growth of 20% per year and normalized profit margins of 15%.

The following table summarizes and compares full year results, year over year:

2013 2012 % Change
Revenue $ 30,682,269 $ 13,657,914 +126
Gross profit $ 11,028,527 $ 5,803,672 +92
Income from operations $ 3,120,034 $ 2,782,493 +17
Net Income $ 1,845,444 $ 2,232,156 -17%
Adjusted EBITDA* $ 3,702,947 $ 2,925,305 +29
The company notes that had it owned all its schools as of January 1, 2013, revenues would have been over $54 million for the full year.

As previously reported Loyalist attained a number of its fiscal goals in 2013:

Closed six acquisitions: Urban International School (Toronto), Pan Pacific College ("PPC" Vancouver), MTi Community College ("MTi" Vancouver) and KGIC/KGIBC (Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria);
Closed on $13,190,237 in gross proceeds through two private placement finance offerings;
Closed on a $5.2 million 5-year convertible debenture;
Established the corporate office in downtown Toronto and Vancouver;
Centralized all accounting functions in the corporate office and started the roll out of the Company's custom built ERP to provide standardization of the various Student Data bases and billing/collection and human resource functions across all schools.
With cash balance of $6.0 million as at April 29, 2014 and anticipated profitability, the company has the funds to meet all of its operating and promissory note obligations and to continue growing by acquisition without raising capital.
