Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter And Year End Financial Results

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance Distributors Holding Inc. (Pink Sheets: ADTR), a distributor, developer and publisher of interactive video games and gaming products, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased 31% to $12.8 million from $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased to $251,000 compared to $488,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, net sales decreased 11% to $60.9 million from $68.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2013. Net income was approximately $1.2 million for both fiscal year 2014 and 2013. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2013 reflects approximately $192,000 in costs for outsourcing the company's warehouse operations and relocating its principal office to New York City.

Jay Gelman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The release of the new PS4™ and Xbox One game platforms during the second quarter of our 2014 fiscal year resulted in a dramatic slowdown in sales of full-price "front-line" product and discounted "value product" for the older PS3® and Xbox360 platforms.  Industry-wide sales of value product for last generation consoles have slowly recovered, starting at the beginning of our 3rd quarter 2014. However, sales of front-line product for last generation consoles continue to be weak. Most of our inventory and sales are concentrated in value product."

Gelman continued, "Occasional closeout opportunities allow us to create large volume offerings at low retail prices. The number of these opportunities in our 2013 fiscal year was greater than in the 2014 fiscal year.  The reduction in close-out opportunities, combined with the slowdown in consumer purchases in connection with the release of Sony and Microsoft's new platforms, accounted for a substantial portion of the reduction in revenues in our 2014 fiscal year.  Net income in the 2014 fiscal year continued to be strong, and was substantially the same as our net income in our 2013 fiscal year."
