For Immediate Release

 

Xponential, Inc Reports Net Income of $112,000 or $0.03 per share
for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2004

 

NORCROSS, Georgia (November 15, 2004) – Xponential, Inc. (OTCBB:XPOI) today reported net income of $112,000 ($0.03 per diluted common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2004, its first quarter of fiscal 2005.

 

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 totaled $103,000, compared to $32,000 for the comparative 2004 quarter.

 

Total revenues for the quarter totaled $4,645,000, compared to $4,984,000 for the comparative 2004 quarter, a decrease of 6.8%.  Gross profit increased to $2,315,000 for the 2005 quarter, compared to $2,302,000 for the comparable 2004 quarter.

 

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PawnMart ,Inc., generated store profitability of $894,000, EBITDA of $420,000, and net income before taxes of $240,000 for the first quarter of 2005.

 

Interest and dividend income was negatively impacted due to a $4,428,379 investment in the common stock of American IronHorse Motorcycle Company, Inc., from which the Company receives no current income. The funds were previously invested in interest and dividend bearing securities. Xponential, Inc. currently owns 13.9% of the common stock of American IronHorse.  Management believes that this investment will create long term shareholder value if American IronHorse continues to grow and increases in value.

 

Mr. Dwayne Moyers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “The first quarter results in our pawn operations exceeded our expectations.  We changed our lending strategies in the final quarter of fiscal 2004 and are beginning to see the results.”

 

Xponential, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary PawnMart, Inc., provides secured non-recourse loans in 26 stores located in Georgia and North Carolina.
