Direct Insite Announces First Quarter Results

SUNRISE, Fla., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Direct Insite Corp. (OTC BB: DIRI.OB), a leading provider of cloud-based e-invoicing solutions for accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payments automation, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2,115,000, a 0.6% decrease from revenue of $2,128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Recurring revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 was $1,813,000, an increase of 1.7% from recurring revenue of $1,783,000 for the same period in 2011.  Revenue from professional services fees decreased $43,000 (12.5%) to $302,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.  The decrease in revenue is the result of a decrease in engineering services partially offset by an increase in recurring services revenue, both resulting from the transition of new customer revenue from startup engineering services to recurring revenue streams.

As part of a new contractual arrangement with Siemens Global Shared Services North America, the Company no longer collects pass-through third-party scanning fees, starting in 2012.  Excluding third-party pass-through scanning revenues, total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2,085,000, compared to $2,015,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This represents a 3.5% increase in revenues on a comparable basis.

The Company incurred a net loss of $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to net income of $84,000 for the same period in 2011.  The net loss for the current period reflects a $113,000 (24.1%) increase in sales and marketing expense, attributable to the addition of a new Vice President of Sales as well as continuing focus on new sales and marketing initiatives, and a $144,000 (17.0%) increase in operations, research and development costs resulting primarily from increased engineering and development work related to new customers, compared to the same period in the prior year.  At the same time, our general and administrative expenses for the current period decreased by $188,000 (29.1%) compared to the same period in 2011, principally due to reductions in salaries, travel and other reimbursed expenses due to the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer in May 2011.

"Our Q1 results illustrate the initial effect of the decisive changes that we implemented in the business in 2011.  We deployed three new customers on our IOL Platform, increasing both our transaction processing volumes and the size of our Vendor Network.  We continue to focus on profitability, being operationally efficient while increasing our sales efforts and strengthening our customer pipeline," said Direct Insite President and Chief Executive Officer Matthew E. Oakes.  He added, "We see increasing demand from customers for cloud-based tools that provide financial services automation capability.  We believe we are now positioned to capture those opportunities and deploy our offerings to meet that market demand."
