IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint™ Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI; DPSIP), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility, Wireless Applications and RFID solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company also announced that Robert Schroeder has been elected Chairman of the Board of Directors, and that Director James F. DeSocio will serve as Interim CEO, pending the selection of a new CEO pursuant to an executive search currently being conducted.
Management
Mr. Schroeder, previously designated interim Chairman, was elected Chairman by the Board subsequent to the annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. DeSocio agreed to serve as Interim CEO, bringing 20 years of enterprise software sales experience to the position. Brief biographies of both Mr. Schroeder and Mr. DeSocio are appended to this news release.
Mr. Schroeder commented, "Some significant changes occurred during the third quarter at DecisionPoint, most notably the departure of the former CEO, and the election of new Directors who bring a wealth of experience and accomplishments to the Company."
"DecisionPoint is fortunate to have Jim DeSocio on our board and serve as our interim CEO. We intend to strengthen DecisionPoint, by bringing in a CEO who will drive revenue in enterprise mobility, wireless applications and RFID technology. We also intend to bolster the balance sheet, increase cash generation, and put the Company back on the growth track it was on prior to the third quarter. As we work towards these goals, Jim is ideally suited to take interim leadership of the Company, and I look forward to working with him, and with the entire new Board. Taglich Brothers has made a commitment to DecisionPoint, and as major shareholders, that commitment is important to DecisionPoint's future."
Mr. Schroeder said that although the decision has been made not to accompany the third-quarter results with the traditional conference call, the Company intends to resume conference calls with webcasts when a permanent CEO is in place.
Results
Financial Highlights
- Third consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, an improvement of $500,000 from the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013
- Nine month Adjusted EBITDA up $3.0 million year over year
- Debt lower by $0.9 million than at December 31, 2013
Revenues for the third quarter were $14.1 million with a net loss of $563,000, compared to revenues of $17.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 with a net loss of $167,000. On an EPS basis, the loss per share was $0.07, compared to a $0.04 loss per share in the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measurement that management uses to measure progress) was $459,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, almost $500,000 higher than the negative $40,000 in the third quarter of 2013.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the strength of the first six months brought the period to a net gain in revenues, reporting $47.4 million versus $46.1 million for the same period last year. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $700,000, a strong improvement over the loss of $3.4 million for the same period last year. On an EPS basis, the loss per share was $0.14, compared to a $0.44 loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.8 million for the nine-month period this year, compared to a negative $1.2 million for the same period in 2013, an increase of $3.0 million.
SG&A expense in the third quarter of 2014 declined by $1.5 million to $3.0 million, compared to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, SG&A expenses declined by $3.8 million, or 27% over the prior year's comparable period. We continue to see the benefits of the restructuring and other cost saving initiatives undertaken in late 2013 and 2014.
The Company ended the third quarter of 2014 with $1.5 million in cash, compared to $641,000 at December 31, 2013. Current debt was $878,000, down from $1.5 million at December 31, 2013 and long term debt was $1.7 million, also down from $2.0 million at December 31, 2013. Net cash provided by operations during the first nine months of 2014 was $2.2 million, versus a cash burn during the same period last year of $2.2 million, for a total improvement of $4.4 million.
Mr DeSocio commented, "DecisionPoint has the products and services to improve productivity of employees across the enterprise. The products have been workplace-tested and proven by large and well-known companies across a wide spectrum of industrial segments. I believe that the Company has the right products, the right people, and the right prospects to be a much larger and prosperous company. I look forward to working with the DecisionPoint team."
CFO Michael Roe commented, "We continue to keep an eye on expenses, and to use our internal cash flow to pay down debt. In the third quarter of 2014, SG&A expenses continued to trend downward by $400,000 from the second quarter. I look forward to working with Jim DeSocio as interim CEO, whose years of experience will be a huge advantage for DecisionPoint."
