DecisionPoint Systems Announces Third Quarter 2021 Results

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

• Sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $18.2 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 64%, from the third quarter of 2020. The increase was driven by higher hardware sales, including from three large enterprise customers in healthcare and retail verticals. $3.0 million of that growth was from ExtenData, a business we acquired in December 2020 as part of our strategic transformation plan.
• Gross margin increased 390 basis points, driven by a mix shift to higher margin services and hardware products.
• Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by an increase in SG&A costs resulting from our ExtenData acquisition.
• EBITDA more than doubled to $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2021 versus the third quarter of 2020.

"We had a very strong third quarter, featuring 64% top line growth. Our results reflect both our commitment to, and success in our core strategic initiatives: increasing coverage and share in new geographic markets, and bringing our expanded service offerings to both our existing customer base and new prospects. Despite the supply chain challenges that our industry continues to face, our team executed very well on our plans, delivering solid revenue, gross, and net margin performances, all underscoring success in our planned approach to driving increased shareholder value", said Steve Smith, Chief Executive Officer. "This year we have made and will continue to make substantial investments in our services infrastructure and offerings which we believe will have a transformative effect on our business over time as we seek to transform the business in offering additional managed services and building substantial SaaS revenue with our efforts to better serve our customers' needs."

Smith concluded, "We're confident in building on this momentum, enabled by our expanded portfolio of mobility-first enterprise services and solutions. Our managed services offerings in particular set us apart from others, as a genuine strategic partner for our customers, and clear industry leader."
