WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BSML, Inc., formerly known as BriteSmile, Inc., (OTC:BSML) (BULLETIN BOARD: BSML) today announced its financial results for its fiscal third quarter and first nine months ended September 29, 2007.
For the Company's third quarter ended September 29, 2007, revenues decreased approximately 15%, to $5.7 million, compared to $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2006. Center revenues, primarily related to performance of our whitening procedures, decreased by $1.1 million, while sales of our teeth whitening products through other channels, primarily the QVC network, remained essentially flat. The Company's net loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2007 was $0.7 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to $3.8 million, or $0.36 per share, in the third quarter of 2006.
The Company recorded a net loss from discontinued operations of $0.9 million for the third quarter ended September 29, 2007. This charge reflects the settlement of a claim involving Discus Dental, Inc., the purchaser of the Company's Associated Centers business in March 2006 and Longlife Health, Ltd., the Company's former distributor in the United Kingdom. The settlement amount will be paid from funds previously escrowed under the terms of the 2006 sale of the Company's Associated Centers business to Discus.
For the Company's first nine months ended September 29, 2007, revenues decreased approximately 4%, to $19.6 million, compared to $20.5 million in the first nine months of 2006. The Company's net loss from continuing operations in the first nine months of 2007 was $1.8 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $13.9 million, or $1.31 per share, in the first nine months of 2006. Included in the net loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2006 are non-recurring items totaling $5.2 million. The Company does not expect similar non-recurring expenses of this magnitude in 2007 or future periods.
For the nine months ended September 29, 2007, the Company has recorded a loss from discontinued operations of $0.9 million in regards to the settlement with Discus and Longlife described above. For the corresponding nine months of 2006, the Company's sale of its Associated Centers business resulted in income from discontinued operations of $19.3 million, or $1.83 per share.
The Company's net loss in the first nine months of 2007 was $2.7 million, or $0.25 per share, compared with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.52 per share, in the first nine months of 2006.
The Company's EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and large non-recurring gains and losses including income from discontinued operations) for the third quarter ended September 29, 2007, was a loss of $0.6 million, compared to a loss of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. For the first nine months ended September 29, 2007, the Company's EBITDA was a loss of $1.3 million, compared to a loss of $7.9 million in the first nine months of 2006. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. More information regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
Dr. Julian Feneley, BSML's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Company's results as follows: "The year over year comparison of center whitening revenues reflects the current difficult trading conditions for professional teeth whitening products and services. We are focusing our efforts on procedure revenue optimization and cost control. In addition, during Q3 we expanded our product offering through the launch of our private label version of Remedent, Inc.'s GlamSmile(TM) veneer system under the name BriteVeneers One-Step(TM). We are very excited about this new opportunity, which will allow us to leverage our BriteSmile Professional Whitening Centers to deliver uniquely affordable 'perfect smiles' to our customers."
The Company finished its 2007 fiscal first nine months with $1.9 million in unrestricted cash, compared with $4.7 million at December 30, 2006. The decrease is almost entirely due to operating uses, including payments to vendors and for income taxes and the redemption of outstanding gift certificates.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
BSML provides non-GAAP EBITDA, defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and large non-recurring gains and losses as additional information for its operating results. These measures are not in accordance with or an alternative for financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. BSML's management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it adjusts for large non-cash or non-recurring items, including: (i) the significant amount of non-cash depreciation and amortization historically incurred by the Company in its operating results, (ii) the non-cash amortization of the discount on debt of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2006, (iii) the loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $5.0 million reported in the first quarter of 2006, (iv) the non-recurring $1.3 million gain on settlement of a legal claim we recognized in the second quarter of 2006 and (v) the non-recurring $0.9 million loss on settlement of a legal claim we recognized in the third quarter of 2007. Our calculation of EBITDA further excludes results from discontinued operations. Investors are cautioned that the items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing BSML's financial performance.
