GlobalSCAPE, Inc. Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

SAN ANTONIO, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE American: GSB), a worldwide leader in the secure movement and integration of data, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2020 was $9.7 million, a 3% increase when compared with revenue of $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2019. Gross margin was $8.1 million, or 84% of total revenue, compared to $8.0 million, or 85% of total revenue in the same quarter a year ago.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 decreased 6% to $4.5 million, compared to $4.8 million in the same period a year ago.

Net income for the first quarter of 2020 remained unchanged from the previous year at $2.4 million. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.12 for the first quarter of 2020 compared to $0.14 for the first quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2020 was $4.5 million compared to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2019.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $9.3 million at March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, there were 18,710,314 shares of common stock outstanding.

"The first quarter marked the release of our Enhanced File Transfer™ 2020 (EFT 2020) platform, the eighth generation of GlobalSCAPE's managed file transfer platform and the most robust version ever developed," said Robert Alpert, Chairman of GlobalSCAPE's Board of Directors and CEO. "EFT 2020 arms enterprises with industry-leading controls needed to meet stringent regulations, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Not only are we solving compliance headaches, but we are delivering unmatched simplicity and performance for global enterprises. Recognizing our innovation, EFT 2020 won the Gold Cybersecurity Excellence Award in this year's Secure File Transfer category."

"Unfortunately, the first quarter was overshadowed by COVID-19. In March our focus was on employee safety and client care. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, we had plans, processes and technology in place to equip a fully remote workforce. We have transitioned our teams from our office to their homes. All our operations have been uninterrupted and teams are functioning at high levels. We did experience weakness in first quarter license sales as our clients evaluated the impact of the global pandemic. With the upheaval caused by COVID-19, we believe some clients and prospects decided to defer their buying decisions to the future as a countermeasure to global economic uncertainty. I am exceptionally proud of our employees as they continue to provide award-winning products and world class service to our global client base. Although we did not repurchase shares in the first quarter, we will continue to monitor capital markets for opportunities to repurchase shares and consider other actions designed to enhance shareholder value."

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) presented on our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and when assessing our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or without a simultaneous reading and consideration of our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release.
