Point.360 Announces Second Fiscal Quarter And First Half Results
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Point.360 (OTCQX: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014. For the quarter, the Company's sales were $5.4 million generating a loss of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per share. The Company also reported negative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (EBITDAN) of $0.6 million for the period.
Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: "Reduced revenue is due principally to our exit from the inconsistent computer graphics business in fiscal 2014, pricing pressures and some work being brought 'in house' by one large customer. We have adjusted our workforce and physical space requirements to better serve our customers in our evolving file-based environment. We will see the effects of these actions in coming quarters."
Revenues
Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 totaled $5.4 million compared to $6.3 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $10.5 million compared to $13.1 million last year. Declines were due primarily to lower orders by a major customer and our decision in the second quarter of the last fiscal year to terminate our inconsistent computer graphics business.
Gross Margin
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, gross margin was $1.5 million (29% of sales), compared to $2.2 million (35% of revenues) in the prior year's quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses

Interest expense was approximately $0.1 million for each of the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
