LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Point.360 (NASDAQ: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2016. For the quarter, the Company's sales were $8.2 million generating a loss of $2.6 million, or $0.20 per share. The Company also reported negative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (EBITDAN*) of $1.7 million for the period. For the twelve month period, the Company's sales were $37.6 million generating a net loss of $1.8 million (including a $4.1 million gain associated with the July 2015 purchase of the assets of Modern VideoFilm, Inc. ("Modern")), or $0.14 per diluted share. The Company also reported negative EBITDAN* of $5.5 million for the period.
Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: "During fiscal 2016, we accomplished much with respect to the unification of Point.360 and Modern. Although the Hollywood Way building renovation project was delayed several months due largely to the permitting process, we have now redistributed our post production services among our three facilities to increase workflow efficiency. To support fiscal 2017 expected growth and cash needs, we are now looking to access the equity in the owned Hollywood Way real estate by refinancing the mortgage or through a sale/leaseback transaction."
Revenues
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 totaled $8.2 million compared to $5.8 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 were $37.6 million compared to $21.6 million last year. The increases were due primarily to the addition of Modern.
Gross Margin

For the twelve months of fiscal 2016, gross margin was $8.3 million (22% of revenues), compared to $7.4 million, (34% of revenues) in last year's period. The decrease in margin percentages were due to the higher fixed cost structure associated with the addition of Modern's business.
