DecisionPoint Systems Reports Third Quarter Results For 2013

Revenues Increase 19% Sequentially to $17.6 Million

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint™ Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility, Wireless Applications and RFID solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Corporate and Financial Highlights of the Third Quarter 2013

Revenue increased sequentially 19% to $17.6 million
EBITDA moved to a positive $466,000 from a loss of $383,000 in the second quarter, notwithstanding financing and restructuring expenses of $442,000
Principal under the Company's term loans in the aggregate amount of $534,000 was paid down in the third quarter

Business Highlights of the Third Quarter 2013

Significant new software orders received during the period
Significant new software contracts were booked in the quarter including from such major names as Johnson Controls, the U.S. Postal Service, Gulf Winds among others.

Nicholas Toms, CEO of DecisionPoint, commented, "Based on what we have seen to date in the third quarter, we expect sales to be robust, and margins to return to their prior levels in the fourth quarter and to continue to climb as in process software orders move to delivery and into our quarterly income statements. We have now added Android Operating Systems to the family of APEXWare software compatibility, which vastly expands the addressable market. We are at an inflection point in our development where, at long last, we will be maintaining both positive EBITDA on a regular basis, and net income on a GAAP bottom-line basis. We believe that as economic conditions continue to improve, our results will improve as well.

"We work with some of the biggest names in the industrial and commercial world, and the family of our clients continues to expand. U.S.P.S, Johnson Controls, Avis Rent a Car System, Wells Fargo, Goodwill Industries of Denver and Mission Linen Supply are just a few. We expect revenues for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2013 to be up sequentially from the revenues reported for the third quarter," Mr. Toms added.

Third Quarter 2013 Results
Revenue was $17.6 million, a climb of about 19% from the second quarter of 2013, but a 5% drop from the comparable quarter of 2012, when revenue was $18.6 million.

Gross profit decreased by 450 basis points to 19.7% from 24.2% in the second quarter of 2013, and 250 points from 22.2% in the third quarter of 2012. The drop was largely attributed to the timing of revenue recognition related to in process software orders, to the timing of orders and shipments, with some orders anticipated for the third quarter slipping to the fourth quarter. We anticipate that as higher-margin software and service revenue continue to grow, margins will continue to return to this long-term increasing trend starting in the fourth quarter. The reported net loss, a little less than breakeven, at $167,000 was sharply down from $1.1 million in the second quarter of this year, vs. a loss of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. On an EPS basis, the loss per share was $0.04, compared to $0.15 loss per share in the third quarter of 2012.

The operating loss was $0.2 million in this year's third quarter vs. $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2012, due primarily to improved margins and cost savings. EBITDA (a non-GAAP measurement that management uses to measure progress) for the third quarter of 2013 was positive $466,000, and a $849,000 positive swing from the second quarter of this year.

Although unit volumes were up, the drop in revenue compared with the same period last year was largely related to an increase in the number of consumer devices sold with much lower unit prices and a consequent decrease in the higher priced rugged devices sold.

Nine Months 2013 Results
Revenue was $46.1 million, down from $54.1 million in the first nine months of 2012, which included an increase of approximately $1.9 million in sales from the Apex and Illume acquisitions that were completed in mid-2012. 2012 benefited from a stronger recovery in the US economy than was seen in the earlier part of 2013. Lower-margin hardware sales declined by 21.9% for the period. Professional services increased slightly, up 0.8% for the nine months. Software revenues, with their higher margins, increased by 6.9% to $3.5 million. Gross margin remained steady year-over-year. SG&A expense increased modestly compared to 2012 due to the inclusion of Apex and Illume Mobile businesses.
