(In thousands except per share amounts)
COPPELL, Texas, May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Costar Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC Markets Group: CSTI), announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has been reviewed by the independent accounting firm McGladrey LLP.
Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2015
- GAAP net income of $29, or $0.02 per share based on 1,550 weighted average diluted shares outstanding. This compares to GAAP net income of $1,072, or $0.70 per share based on 1,532 weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
- The Company posted positive net income for the quarter in spite of the anticipated decline of $4,200 in revenue from its largest customer, which included $3,300 due to the "catch-up" order in 2014 and $900 due to the implementation of tighter inventory management.
- Revenue outside of the company's largest customer and CohuHD, grew at a rate of 22% versus the first quarter of 2014.
James Pritchett, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We are pleased with the performance of our team and their ability to deliver a profitable quarter despite many obstacles. The first quarter is a historically soft quarter for both Costar and CohuHD, in addition, our largest customer reduced inventory and there was significant inclement weather in the Northeast." Mr. Pritchett added, "The CohuHD integration is progressing as planned as CohuHD finalizes its launch of the new RISE product line. We believe the Company is aligned to take advantage of specific vertical market opportunities in 2015 as we stay focused on our commitment to increase shareholder value through long term revenue and profitability growth."
Financial Results, First Quarter of 2015
The financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 include the results of operations for CohuHD for the full quarter. In comparison, financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 do not include CohuHD.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $8,099, as compared to revenue of $8,307 for the first quarter of the prior year, a decrease of approximately 3%. The Company's new subsidiary, CohuHD, generated approximately $3,353 in revenue during the period.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $3,219. This compares to gross profit of $2,739 for the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 18%. The majority of the increase was due to the acquisition of CohuHD, but increased sales of the Company's higher margin network product was also a strong contributor.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $3,129. This compares to operating expenses of $1,655 for the first quarter of 2014, an increase of 89%. The majority of the increase was due to CohuHD.
Net income for the first quarter of 2015 was approximately $29, or $0.02 fully diluted earnings per share. This compares to net income for the first quarter of 2014 of $1,072, or $0.70 fully diluted earnings per share. CohuHD accounted for approximately $(46) of Company's net income in the 2015 quarter.
