inContact Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- inContact, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAAS), the leading provider of cloud contact center software and contact center agent optimization tools, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Said Paul Jarman, inContact CEO, "I'm pleased to announce another record quarter for inContact, providing us with strong progress towards our 2012 objectives. During the quarter, we closed 42 new customers and 27 expansion deals for a total of 69 contracts representing an all-time high for total contract adds.  We continue to see an increase in the size and number of contact centers choosing inContact, and the estimated annual value of contracts closed in Q2 represents a 41% increase over the same period a year ago. Additionally, in Q2 2012, we saw 35% year-over-year quarterly Software revenue growth.  Moreover, Q2 marked the seventh sequential quarter of total revenue growth."

Revenue

Software segment revenue totaled $12.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 35% from Q2 2011 and an increase of 4% from $12.3 million in Q1 2012. Telecom segment revenue for Q2 2012 was $13.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 9% from $12.2 million in Q2 2011.  This increase marks the seventh consecutive quarter that software related telecom revenue has increased.

Consolidated revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $26.2 million versus $21.7 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of 21%. This reflects an increase of $3.3 million in Software segment revenue and an increase of $1.2 million in Telecom segment revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Software segment revenue totaled $25.1 million, an increase of 33% from $18.9 million for 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Telecom segment revenue totaled $26.8 million, an increase of 10% from $24.2 million for 2011.

Gross Margin

The Q2 Software segment gross margin was 59% versus 58% in Q2 2011, and excluding non-cash charges, non-GAAP Software segment gross margin was 72% for the quarter, versus 70% in Q2 2011.  This increase in gross margin is principally attributable to increased revenue in 2012 to help offset the costs attributable to international infrastructure. Second quarter 2012 Telecom segment gross margin was 31% versus 29% in Q2 2011.

Consolidated gross margin percentage was 45% in the second quarter compared to 42% for the same period in 2011.  Excluding non-cash charges, consolidated gross margin was 52% for the second quarter compared to 48% for the same period in 2011. 

EBITDAS

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation ("EBITDAS") for the second quarter was $1.2 million versus $54,000 during the same period in 2011. Our increase in EBITDAS is primarily due to the increase in margins discussed above. EBITDAS is a non-GAAP measure management believes provides important insight into our operating results (see reconciliation of non-GAAP measures below).

Net Results

GAAP net loss for quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $1.7 million, or ($0.04) per share, as compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or ($0.06) per share for the same period in 2011.  This decrease in net results is primarily due to increased revenues.

Jarman concluded, "With another record quarter behind us, we continue to demonstrate our leadership in the growing cloud contact center market. As the cloud market opportunity continues to expand, we are successfully meeting the demand created by contact centers of all sizes, and we continue to take market share and see more enterprise opportunities than ever before."

SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate under two business segments: Software and Telecom. The Software segment includes all monthly recurring revenue related to the delivery of our software applications, plus the associated professional services and setup fees and revenue related to quarterly minimum purchase commitments through the year ended 2013, from a related party reseller. The Telecom segment includes all voice and data long distance services provided to customers.

For segment reporting, we classify operating expenses as either "direct" or "indirect." Direct expense refers to costs attributable solely to either selling and marketing efforts or research and development efforts. Indirect expense refers to costs that management considers to be overhead in running the business. Management evaluates expenditures for both selling and marketing and research and development efforts at the segment level without the allocation of overhead expenses, such as rent, utilities and depreciation on property and equipment.

Operating segment revenues and profitability for the three and six month ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):

RECONCILIATION of NON-GAAP MEASURES:

Management also believes these measures may better enable an investor to form views of our potential financial performance in the future. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
