PLANO, Texas, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ViewCast Corporation (OTCBB: VCST), a developer of industry-leading solutions for the transformation, management and delivery of digital media over enterprise, broadband, and mobile networks, today reported results for the 2011 third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
The Company reported net sales of $3.6 million in the third quarter 2011 compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period. While the pipeline for both Osprey® cards and Niagara® systems remained strong and the order flow from the Company's principal OEM customer returned to a more normal volume than in the second quarter, closing rates across the board were affected by macroeconomic uncertainty. Purchasing managers in all regions reported that institutional delays in decisions and investments were seen during the period due to the fear of recession in Europe and the general resulting uncertainty in the global and domestic outlook.
New ViewCast President and Chief Operating Officer John Hammock said, "We are tackling the current and long term issues head on and in two principal ways. First, although we do see some improvement in ordering patterns, it is difficult to predict how trends will continue, so we are aggressively restructuring our organizational costs to match our current rates of revenue. Secondly, we are stepping up our focus and investment in several new product innovations for launch in early 2012, which will open the door for us to access additional large customers in the telecom industry and other institutional customers that are gearing up to deliver content directly to consumers and their mobile platforms."
Highlights of the Third Quarter and Recent Weeks
Important progress made in the third quarter and subsequent weeks included:
"Progress with new products and inroads into new customer bases is our marketing priority," continued Hammock. "I am looking forward to a series of new product introductions that extend our proven core technologies and competencies into new arenas, where we promote our technology advantages. Within a year, we believe our business will be far more balanced between our expanded target verticals, and will provide a return to profitable growth."
Third Quarter Financial Results
In the 2011 third quarter, revenues were $3.6 million compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period. Operating expenses for the third quarter 2011 were $3.0 million compared to $2.7 million for the prior year period. Operating loss of $(854,000) for the third quarter 2011 declined from income of $51,000 for the year-earlier period.
Net loss for the third quarter 2011 was $(916,000) compared to net income of $8,000 in the third quarter 2010.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the 2011 third quarter was $(0.7) million, compared to $0.2 million in the 2010 third quarter. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that ViewCast management believes can be helpful in assessing the Company's overall performance and considered as an indicator of operating efficiency and earnings quality. The Company suggests that EBITDA be viewed in conjunction with the Company's reported financial results or other financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Chief Financial Officer Laurie Latham commented on the ongoing financial restructuring, "Our principal goal on the operating and expense side of things is to pare back expenses to match our Q3 run rate, with the idea that as we return to growth, stronger bottom line results will be produced. We have identified and executed on a majority of the changes already and we feel confident that the organization will be in a more stable and beneficial position going into the new year."
Nine-Month Financial Results
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $11.5 million compared to $12.4 million for the first nine months of 2010. Operating expenses for the nine-months 2011 were $8.8 million, compared to $8.1 million for nine-months 2010. The operating loss was $(1.9) million, compared to an operating loss of $(0.6) million for nine-months 2010.
Net loss for the nine-months 2011 was $(2.1) million, compared to a net loss of $(0.7) million for nine-months 2010. Due to the accounting treatment for the preferred stock redemption during the period, the net income applicable to common shareholders benefitted by $5.6 million, which together with an adjustment of $282,000 for stated preferred stock dividends resulted in net income applicable to common shareholders of $3.2 million or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This compares, after the stated preferred stock dividends adjustment of $615,000, to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $(1.3) million or $(0.04) per share on a fully diluted basis for the prior year period.
EBITDA for nine-months 2011 was $(1.4) million, compared to $46,000 for nine-months 2010.
