Xata Reports Fiscal 2011 Yearend and Fourth Quarter Results
Software revenue growth of 7 percent contributes to non-GAAP earnings of $4.2 million, $0.15 per diluted share, for fiscal 2011
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Xata Corporation (NASDAQ: XATA) reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
Total revenue was $15.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $17.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2010. Net loss to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $1.6 million, compared to net income to common shareholders of $0.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2010. Other comments include:
- Software revenue increased $0.3 million from $11.4 million to $11.7 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The 3 percent growth in software revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was fueled by 56 percent growth in Xata Turnpike software revenue.
- Fiscal 2011 fourth quarter software revenue accounted for approximately 77 percent of total revenue, compared to 67 percent for the same period of fiscal 2010.
- The Company acquired 64 new customers in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 with the majority selecting the Xata Turnpike solution.
- As a result of customers adopting the Xata Turnpike solution, hardware systems and services revenues decreased to $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Many new customers are adopting the no upfront cost Xata Turnpike solution, which does not require the customer to purchase hardware.
"Our strategy of continuing to invest in fleet optimization solutions has resulted in increased software revenue," said Jay Coughlan, chairman and president of Xata. "Given the rapidly changing business and compliance environment, it is essential that we continue to invest in developing solutions that will fulfill our customers' needs."
"Our non-GAAP earnings performance is reflective of the Company's focus on investing in the development of future compliant applications and functionality, with the goal of providing increased return on investment for our customers," said Scott Christian, chief financial officer of Xata.
Fiscal 2011 fourth quarter overall gross margins were 52 percent, which was consistent with margins for the same period of fiscal 2010. The consistency in the margins was attributable to a positive shift in mix to higher margin software revenue. The improvement driven by the shift in mix was offset, in part, by declining hardware systems and services margins.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased $0.8 million to $6.1 million compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Research and development costs were $4.0 million and $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. The continued evolution of compliance requirements facing the trucking industry warrant additional investment in research and development to meet customers' future needs.
Net loss to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $1.6 million, compared to a net income to common shareholders of $0.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2010. As a result, the Company reported a loss of $0.15 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to breakeven per share for the same period of the prior year on a fully diluted basis.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reported non-GAAP earnings (earnings before interest, non-recurring acquisition and financing related costs, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation and preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends) of $0.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2010.
As of September 30, 2011, the Company held $12.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and had working capital of $15.8 million, excluding the current portion of long-term obligations and deferred revenue and applicable deferred costs.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, software revenue increased by 7 percent. Other comments include:
- Software revenue increased $2.9 million from $42.9 million to $45.8 million for 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively. Xata Turnpike software revenue grew by 68 percent for fiscal 2011.
- Fiscal 2011 software revenue accounted for approximately 73 percent of total revenue, compared to 61 percent for fiscal 2010.
- Cash flow from operations was $4.4 million for fiscal 2011.
