FOOTHILL RANCH, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/29/12 -- DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: DPSI), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility, Wireless Applications and RFID solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.
Highlights of Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2011:
- Gross margin expanded to 22.4% compared to 20.9% in Q3 2011 and 21.6% in Q4 2010
- Net income (before dividends) of approximately $65,000 compared to $268,000 in Q3 2011 and a net loss of $(25,000) in Q4 2010
- EBITDA was approximately $488,000 compared to $442,000 in Q3 2011 and $1.3 million in Q4 2010
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $15.9 million, compared to $15.5 million in the same period a year ago and $16.4 million in the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. Revenue increased 3.8% year-over-year due to the contribution of CMAC, which was acquired on December 31, 2010. The sequential revenue decrease reflects typical seasonal patterns.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $3.6 million, compared to $3.3 million in the same period of 2010 and $3.4 million in the September 30, 2011 quarter. Gross profit margin was 22.4%, compared to 21.6% in the same period a year ago and 20.9% in the third quarter of 2011. The increase in the gross margin as compared to both prior periods was primarily due to a richer mix of sales of higher margin third party software and professional services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $3.3 million, compared to $2.2 million in the same period a year ago and $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2011. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of the additional costs and personnel related to the Company's acquisition of CMAC and generally higher business levels. SG&A expenses were flat compared to the third quarter of 2011 reflecting the full integration of the CMAC acquisition and a continued focus on cost control.
Operating income in the fourth quarter was $0.2 million, compared to operating income of $1.1 million in the same period a year ago and operating income of $0.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Net income before dividends was approximately $65,000 in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of approximately $(25,000) in the fourth quarter of 2010 and net income of approximately $268,000 in the third quarter of 2011. After cumulative and imputed preferred stock dividends of approximately $218,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011, $21,000 for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $214,000 for the third quarter of 2011 the net loss attributable to common shareholders was approximately $(153,000), or $(0.02) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of approximately $(46,000), or $(0.01) per share, in the same period a year ago and net income of $54,000, or $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of 2011.
EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) in the fourth quarter of 2011 was approximately $488,000 compared to $1.3 million in the same period a year ago and $442,000 in the third quarter of 2011.
Revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2011 was $58.4 million, compared to $56.2 million in the year ago period. Gross profit was $12.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $10.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Gross margin was 20.5%, compared to 19.3% in the same period a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $9.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The majority of the increase in SG&A was due to the inclusion of the selling and administration expenses of CMAC, which was acquired on December 31, 2010. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the full year of 2011 was $(5.7) million, or $(0.94) per share, compared to a net loss of $(2.3) million, or $(0.66) per share, in the same period a year ago. Included in the net loss for the full year of 2011 was an expense for debt extinguishment of $(2.7) million (of which $2.3 million was non-cash) as well as preferred stock dividends of approximately $486,000. Included in the net loss for the full year of 2010 were preferred stock dividends of approximately $80,000.
Management Commentary
"We strengthened the foundation of our business in 2011, both strategically and financially," said Nicholas Toms, Chief Executive Officer of DecisionPoint. "The acquisition of CMAC furthered our goal of increasing the mix of higher margin professional services that complement our customer-driven, mobile wireless and RFID solutions. Our gross profit margin expanded reflecting this revenue mix shift as well as more efficient utilization of our professional services staff and disciplined cost control. The reverse merger with Comamtech, completed in June, combined with the conversion of our senior secured note into shares of our preferred stock resulted in positive shareholders' equity and a reduction of almost 50% in interest expense for the year, and significantly strengthened our balance sheet.
"In addition to these transactions, we built out our field mobility practice. Through wireless carrier relationships with Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon that we established during the year, we introduced initial co-branded products, including Fleet Control, a turnkey solution with Verizon for the trucking industry. Fleet Control installed its first sales during the fourth quarter and is gaining traction in the marketplace. During 2012, we plan to release additional turnkey, or bundled, solutions with our partners. We also expanded our retail system offerings to enable and support the proliferation of tablet-based assisted shopping, which both generates revenue and increases productivity for our customers.
"We have entered 2012 with good momentum," continued Mr. Toms. "Sales activity has remained robust as the economic uncertainty of last spring has given way to competitive and productivity imperatives, which our customized mobile solutions are perfectly suited to address. We expect revenue to increase by over 25% in 2012 compared to 2011. Field mobility is expected to continue on its growth trajectory based on recent and upcoming product releases with our wireless carrier partners and our retail segment has been building its backlog as customer capital spending has picked up from recession levels. Our goal is to continue shifting our revenue mix towards software and professional services and continue expanding the gross margin, through increasing sales of new products including our Grapevine Push-to-Talk solution and our Mobile Device Management services for enterprise and small business applications."
