NEWARK, Calif., April 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Socket Mobile, Inc. (OTC: SCKT), an innovative provider of mobile productivity solutions, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was $4.0 million, an increase of 6 percent compared to revenue of $3.8 million for the same quarter a year ago, and an increase of 2 percent sequentially from revenue of $3.9 million in the immediately preceding quarter.  Net loss for the first quarter of 2015 was $72,000, or a loss of $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $72,000, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2014 and a net loss of $21,000, or a loss of $0.00 per share, in the immediately preceding quarter. Gross profit on revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was 45.1 percent, an increase from 42.8 percent for the same quarter a year ago and 44.6 percent for the immediately preceding quarter.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $1.8 million, an increase of 16 percent compared to operating expenses of $1.6 million for the same quarter a year ago, and an increase of 7 percent compared to operating expenses of $1.7 million in the immediately preceding quarter. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), a non-GAAP measure of operating results, was $0.1 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to EBITDA earnings of $0.2 million or $0.04 per share for the first quarter a year ago and EBITDA earnings of $0.2 million, or $0.03 per share for the immediately preceding quarter.

Kevin Mills, president and chief executive officer, commented, "For the first quarter, we achieved sequential and year-over-year improvement in revenue and margins, as well as positive EBITDA and income from operations. Our barcode scanning revenue grew 22 percent year-over-year and 13 percent sequentially and represented 86 percent of total revenue for the quarter compared to 75 percent of revenue in last year's first quarter and 78 percent in the immediately preceding quarter. 

"Mobile point of sale remains a key emerging market still in its early stages, as traditional cash registers are being replaced with tablets and other electronic devices. Mobile point of sale applications, particularly those addressing the underserved small and medium retailers, continue to be a key driver of our revenue growth. As we have previously experienced, mobile point of sale activity is lowest in our fourth and first quarters.

"Our barcode scanning revenue growth is driven by an increasing number of applications supporting our cordless barcode scanning products from our growing base of registered application developers. We now have more than 1,400 developers registered to use our software developer kit. Socket's barcode scanning products are designed for use with smartphones and tablets using Apple®, Android® or Windows® operating systems. They are attractively priced, have antimicrobial housings and have a stylish look and feel in multiple colors for image conscious customers and retailers. We offer a wide range of barcode scanning products including entry level linear barcode scanners, powerful laser barcode scanners, and sophisticated 2D barcode scanners. All designed for ease of use in a mobile retail environment. Key markets being addressed by developers include mobile point of sale, hospitality, asset management and various commercial services and enterprise mobility applications.

"With the increasing number of applications supporting our broad product portfolio in emerging mobile markets, we believe we are positioned to achieve growth in 2015," Mills concluded.
