BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Point.360 (NASDAQ: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. For the quarter, the Company's sales were $7.7 million generating positive operating cash flow of $0.3 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (EBITDAN) of $0.8 million for the period.
Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: "We continued to generate positive operating cash flow in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Revenues were somewhat lower than in the prior year's first quarter due to the timing of seasonal television programming introductions. We expect better results now that the new television season is underway."
Mr. Bagerdjian continued: "In the first quarter, we completed a $14.8 million refinancing of the Company's revolving line of credit and two mortgages. The mortgage interest savings alone will be about $360,000 per year at today's low rates."
Revenues
Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaled $7.7 million compared to $9.0 million in the same quarter last year. Declines were due primarily to the timing of new television show introductions by a major customer.
Gross Margin
In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, gross margin was $2.7 million (35% of sales), compared to $3.4 million (38% of sales) in the prior year's first quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses
For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, SG&A expenses were $2.9 million, or 38% of sales, compared to $3.2 million, or 35% of sales, in the first quarter of last year. SG&A personnel costs have been reduced $0.3 million in the current three month period, when compared to the prior year period.
Interest expense was $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011, and 2012, respectively.
Other income in all periods includes sublease income and gain on sale of fixed assets. In the 2012 three month period, other income also included a $332,000 discount received on the payoff of a mortgage, offset by the write offs of $90,000 of deferred financing costs related to that mortgage and a $30,000 fee to terminate a revolving credit agreement.
