ROUND ROCK, Texas, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TSS, Inc. (Other OTC: TSSI), a data center and mission critical facilities and technology services company, reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

First Quarter Highlights:

• First quarter 2015 revenue of $7.3 million compared with $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 and $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014.
• Gross margin of 33% in the first quarter of 2015 compared with 32% in the first quarter of 2014.
• Reduced operating expenses by 10% compared to the first quarter of 2014.
• Net loss of $402,000 or $(0.03) per share, compared to a net loss of $892,000 or $(0.06) per share in the first quarter of 2014.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss of $96,000 compared with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $573,000 in the first quarter of 2014.

"Our increased revenues and margins, combined with lower operating expenses have helped improve our operating results compared to the same period a year ago" said Anthony Angelini, President and Chief Executive Officer of TSS. "We normally incur higher operating expenses in our first quarter due to our annual audit and other related professional fees. Despite this, we were able to significantly improve our results compared to 2014. Moving forward we would anticipate lower operating expenses as we focus on our goals of revenue growth and sustaining profitability for the business."

Angelini continued, "We continue to see positive momentum in our businesses.  Pipeline activity and  recent wins should provide a strong second half of the year. Our data center lifecycle management capabilities allow us to be a trusted partner and single source for requirements ranging from consulting to system integration to deployment and on-going management. We believe this range of capabilities is unique to TSS."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures not defined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, and provision for bad debts. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this supplemental measure of operating performance is helpful in comparing our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding non-cash items that may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on our results of operations in any particular period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation. 

We define Normalized Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA before restructuring charges, acquisition expenses and certain other costs. We present Normalized Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is helpful in comparing our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding from Adjusted EBITDA certain items that do not directly correlate to our business and may, or could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on our performance during a particular period.  Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, we also use Normalized Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation.  

Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the heading "Normalized Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation" following the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in this press release.
