Subscription revenue for the quarter ending June 30 was up 28 per cent from the second quarter of 2013, at $12.6 million.
Gross profit for the quarter came in at $12.3 million, up 10 per cent from the same time last year. Adjusted profit was $1.9 million, or nine cents per diluted share.
Kinaxis reported a net loss for the quarter of $5.3 million, or 34 cents per share, an increase from $3.5 million, or 21 cents per share, a year ago. The company attributed this to a higher fair value, non-cash adjustment on the redeemable preferred share liability.
Cash and cash equivalents were $50.5 million, up significantly from six months earlier. Kinaxis said this was due primarily to its IPO, which raised just over $100 million in June. At that time, Kinaxis said it will pay down some debt and consider some minor acquisitions.
On the day of its IPO, Kinaxis opened at $13 per share. The company’s stock started the Friday trading day at $15.25 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
