Strategic growth plan continues to yield gains in revenue, margin, and mix

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI), today announced fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results.

Full Year 2021

• Revenue was $65.9MM, an increase of $2.6MM (3.9%) from 2020.
• Services revenues, the Company's strategic focus, were $15.5MM, an increase of $2.8MM (17.9%) from 2020.
• Gross profit, $15.3MM, increased by $0.5MM (3.3%) from 2020.
• 2021 EBITDA was $3.0MM ($2.8MM on an Adjusted EBITDA basis).
• Debt was paid down by $1.2MM from December 31, 2020.

Fourth Quarter 2021

• Q4 Revenue was $16.5MM, pressured by industry-wide supply chain issues, which the Company anticipates continuing into 1H 2022.
• Solid booking activity continued however resulting in a backlog expansion to $31.2MM. The Company is working closely with its equipment manufacturer partners to manage through these supply constraints.
• Q4 Adjusted EBITDA was $0.3MM for the fourth quarter 2021, compared with $1.3MM for the fourth quarter of 2020.

"We continue to execute the strategic growth plan we put in place several years ago," commented CEO Steve Smith. "That plan is focused on the growth of what we call "mobility-first services," and on the expansion of our served geographic coverage. We're achieving those goals through both the organic build-out of our business and by select acquisitions.

Smith continued, "While the sale of enterprise hardware such as mobile computers, bar code and RFID scanners, and printers remains a solid core of our business, the provision of associated services, including especially managed operational services, with its recurring revenue streams, is the focus of our strategic intent. The nearly 18% growth in these services in 2021 marks our progress. We plan for services to contribute still larger proportions of our growth going forward, yielding margin expansion, increased forward revenue visibility, and the foundation for robust enterprise value growth."

"The Company also continues to execute on its strategy to make select strategic acquisitions that add technical competencies, operational capacity, and geographic coverage. The full integration of one such acquisition from late 2020, ExtenData, a Rocky Mountains-focused regional leader in solutions and services design and delivery, was completed in 2021. In January 2022, we also acquired Advanced Mobile Group to expand DecisionPoint's mobility-first enterprise solutions and service offerings and grow its capabilities in the mid-Atlantic region. Advanced Mobile Group is a regional leader providing services, hardware, software, integration, and wireless networking solutions, with deep experience in warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, mobile workforce automation, retailing, and healthcare segments, and 600 customers."

CEO Smith concluded, "2021 was another very solid year for DecisionPoint. We grew in all key measures relative to 2020, a tough compare with its outsized singular top line event, and did so overcoming industry headwinds caused by global supply chain constraints. I'm confident that our plans and proven execution capacity will yield still greater successes for our customers and growth for DecisionPoint in 2022 and beyond."

Our cash and accounts receivable were $14.9 million on December 31, 2021, compared to $18.4 million on December 31, 2020. Cash flow from operations in 2021 was $2.4 million, as compared to $4.2 million in 2020. Overall debt is lower by $1.2 million than at the beginning of the year. As of December 31, 2021, we had no borrowings under the line of credit.

This press release includes information relating to Adjusted EBITDA which the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined as a "non-GAAP financial measure."
