RiT Technologies Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2010
Revenues Up 8% YOY for Q3, 33% for the 9-Month Period
TEL AVIV, Israel, November 2, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RiT Technologies (NASDAQ: RITT), today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $2.7 million, up 8% compared with $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2009, but down 18% compared sequentially with the second quarter of 2010. The quarter's sales reflected the seasonality of the third quarter, which includes Europe's holiday period, together with the early timing of Israel's fall holidays, which reduced the Company's working days to just 13 days in September. This caused a delay in the shipment of some orders from the third to the fourth quarter.
Net loss for the quarter was $0.8 million ($0.27 per share on a basic and diluted basis), a 45% improvement compared with $1.5 million ($0.59 per share on a basic and diluted basis) in the parallel quarter of 2009. This reduced net loss reflects the year-over-year increase in revenues, compounded by company-wide cost cuts implemented during the first half of 2010, which have reduced the Company's 2010 operating expenses by more than 20% compared to 2009.
For the nine-month period, revenues totaled $8.6 million, an increase of 33% compared with $6.4 million for the parallel period of 2009. Net loss for the first nine months declined by 51% to $2.4 million ($0.82 per share on a basic and diluted basis) compared with $4.9 million ($1.87 per share on a basic and diluted basis) for the first nine months of 2009.
Comments of Management
Commenting on the results, Mr. Eran Ayzik, RiT's President and CEO, said, "Looking beyond the impact of holidays on our third quarter results, our business is showing clear signs of top-line and bottom-line improvement, demonstrating that our strategies for stabilizing the business are moving us towards renewed growth and profitability.
"In fact, we are encouraged by a number of positive developments. Our revenues for the quarter benefited from initial sales of all our new products, including the EPV, the MPO Cassette Panel and the SMARTen(TM) Patch Panels with Patching Switches. In parallel, we are pleased with the progress of our new Partner Program, which we launched to expand our channels in target regions throughout the world. On the cost side, our efforts of the past year have reduced our operating expenses by over 20%, and we continue to implement very tight budget control."
Mr. Ayzik concluded, "As we move forward, we are fully focused on leveraging our streamlined cost model, excellent products and expanding channels. We are working to return the Company to profitability as soon as possible and to begin building it to the next level."
