November 12, 2024 – Omaha, Nebraska – Old Market Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: OMCC) (the "Company") announced a net loss of $0.45 million attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $10.5 million attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.07 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a net loss per share of $1.44 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Total operating expenses from continuing operations increased 147.5% to $3.98 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in operating expenses during the quarter was largely attributable to general and administrative expenses related to the execution of the previously announced restructuring plan of the Company, which included the ramp-up of operations for the Company to provide wireless internet, fiber internet, and other new services in conjunction with its acquisition of Amplex Electric, Inc. (“Amplex”), as well as acquisition costs related to the purchase of a controlling stake in Amplex.
The Company reported a net loss of $3.7 million attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a net loss of $8.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.56 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to basic and diluted net loss per share of $1.23 for the six months ended September 30, 2023.
Total operating expenses from continuing operations increased 158% to $8.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase of operating expenses during the first six months were primarily attributable to costs associated with (i) the emigration of the Company from Canada to the U.S.; (ii) the sale of previous operations to Westlake Financial; (iii) the acquisition of a controlling interest in Amplex Electric, Inc.; and (iv) other costs associated with the Company’s previously announced restructuring plan.
“The OMCC Management Team is excited about the strong quarterly performance from Amplex. Amplex contributed nearly $3 million in revenue and $410 thousand of income for the quarter. A large opportunity set for future projects will allow for continued growth and increased contributions to OMCC’s bottom line. In addition to Amplex, the OMCC Management Team is focused on reducing operating expenses and finding additional investment opportunities that are accretive to shareholder value,” commented Jeffrey Royal, CEO of Old Market Capital.
Old Market Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:OMCC), formerly known as Nicholas Financial Inc., was previously a specialized consumer finance company. After the Company announced the restructuring of its operations in November 2023, the Company
now operates as a holding company which owns a controlling interest in Amplex Electric, Inc., a broadband company, and which seeks to pursue additional controlling interests in other companies and sectors yet to be determined.
