OTTAWA, March 3 /PRNewswire/ - March Networks® (TSX:MN), a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions, today announced financial results for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2011. All figures are in Canadian dollars and in accordance with Canadian GAAP unless otherwise specified.
The Company's third quarter fiscal 2011 revenue was $20.6 million, representing an increase of 3% as compared to revenue of $20.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 of $75.3 million increased by 15% as compared to revenue of $65.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
The Company recorded a non-GAAP operating loss of $3.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 representing an improvement of $152,000 relative to a non-GAAP loss of $3.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Non-GAAP operating earnings improved by $2.8 million to $88,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 relative to a non-GAAP loss of $2.7 million recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
Net GAAP loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased to $3.8 million or $0.21 per common share relative to a net loss of $3.5 million or $0.20 per common share in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Year to date net GAAP loss of $3.4 million has improved by $1.6 million or $0.10 per common share relative to a net GAAP loss of $5 million or $0.29 per share in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
The Company's cash and short-term investment position decreased by $6.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to $38.5 million at January 31, 2011 due mainly to non-GAAP losses in the quarter and the timing of payments to suppliers as the Company increased its working capital ratio to 4.1:1 at January 31, 2011 from 3.3:1 at October 31, 2010.
"The Company's profitability in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was negatively impacted by a stronger Canadian dollar, weaker than expected revenues from EMEA and lower than expected service gross margin", said Ken Taylor, CFO of March Networks. "Newly announced products
are expected to compete more favorably, particularly in the commercial industrial markets, delivering better profitability and service gross margin, both of which are expected to improve in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011".
"Based on fourth quarter pipeline activity, the Company expects to record 10 to 15% revenue growth in fiscal 2011." said Peter Strom, CEO of March Networks. "We expect to continue to build on this growth next fiscal year with our suite of new products that are being introduced over the next few months."
