Point.360 Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2010 Results
BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Point.360 (Nasdaq: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2010.
Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: "In fiscal 2010, we concentrated on two primary objectives: creating a proof-of-concept for the retail rental and sale of DVD content using out proprietary automated inventory management (AIM) system, and introducing new services in our core business while continuing to consolidate and streamline our operations. We have now opened three Movie>Q stores. Initial results indicate excellent customer acceptance. However, it has taken longer than originally anticipated to complete this first phase, and the costs were at the higher end of the budgeted range. As with most new business ventures, it is difficult to predict costs and timing, but we are very encouraged with our progress.
"In the next phase of the proof-of-concept, we will 'harden' the AIM system to further reduce costs. We will use data from the three different demographics to further develop our marketing program. We will also consider alternatives for financing a rapid roll-out of additional locations."
Mr. Bagerdjian continued: "Results for the 2010 fourth quarter and fiscal year reflect our research and development and facility consolidation costs. We are aggressively pursuing the second phase of the Movie>Q development and marketing the Visionary Archive, Asset Restoration Tools (A.R.T.) and digital delivery offerings to better serve our customers' evolving needs."
Revenues
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 totaled $10.6 million compared to $11.0 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 were $39.7 million, down from $45.6 million last year. The decline reflects a slowdown in work from several major studio customers and the effect of the move of one of our facilities.
