Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC and Former Louisiana Attorney General Announce Investigation Into Ebix, Inc. Following 24% Stock Decline
NEW ORLEANS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (aKSFa) and Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr. announce the commencement of an investigation into Ebix, Inc. (aEbixa or the aCompanya) (Nasdaq: EBIX) following a report published on Seeking Alpha questioning the Companya™s practices.
The article stated:
We believe that EBIX is nothing more than a roll-up that has materially misrepresented its business (relative to the CEOa™s buzz words) as well as its organic growth. Its business model is predicated on two principals: tax arbitrage and dramatic cost cuts (headcount reductions and offshoring), neither of which is sustainable. Further, the companya™s tax arbitrage may be more than ajusta unsustainable, it may actually be illegal.
EBIXa™s problems run deeper than unusual accounting. The EBIX story also comes with multiple auditor resignations, governance abuses, misrepresented organic growth, questionable cash flow and a contentious CEO.
