PDSi Reports 2007 Fourth Quarter and Year ResultsCOLUMBUS, Ohio --(Business Wire)-- Pinnacle Data Systems, Inc. ("PDSi") (AMEX: PNS) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. Michael R. Sayre, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are encouraged by our 2007 fourth quarter and year results, which included improved margins from key initiatives we implemented during the past 18 months. Margin improvement on lower sales for the 2007 fourth quarter compared to the same period last year resulted in net income of $0.01 per diluted share compared to breakeven results a year ago. We are especially pleased to report net income of $426,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the 2007 year, compared to a net loss of $(1.9) million, or $(0.30) per share, for 2006." Mr. Sayre continued, "PDSi's growth strategy is focused on increased profitability. During 2007 we completed our Operational Improvement Plan launched in 2006 and made strategic changes in our sales and marketing organization to emphasize both OEM and middle market customers who recognize the value PDSi offers them and are willing to pay for it. This approach has resulted in reduced operating expenses, new opportunities and the replacement of approximately $17 million of low margin business during the past year. Due to the operational and financial achievements of 2007, we enter 2008 fundamentally stronger as a company and more capable of achieving our growth plans." Fourth Quarter 2007 Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007, were $18.3 million compared to $26.3 million for the same period last year. Higher sales in the 2006 fourth quarter were led by significantly higher product sales, especially to two customers. Gross profit was $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 versus $4.7 million for the same period a year ago. The more profitable mix of business and increased operating efficiencies in 2007 contributed to a 6 percentage point increase in gross profit margin to 23.7% compared to 17.7% the 2006 fourth quarter. This improvement was due to higher margin on product sales. Operating expenses, which include selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expense, were $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2006. The higher operating expenses in the 2006 fourth quarter were attributable to $170,000 of one-time costs associated with the consolidation of production facilities as part of the Operational Improvement Plan, higher staffing at the Company's Ohio facilities following the consolidation, and increased sales commissions related to the record 2006 fourth quarter sales. Interest expense declined to $162,000 for the 2007 fourth quarter from $249,000 a year ago. This decrease was attributable to lower borrowings during the most recent period, primarily due to improved working capital management. Debt outstanding at December 31, 2007 was $5.6 million compared to $13.1 million on the same date in 2006. Net income was $91,000, or $0.01 on a diluted share basis, versus net income of $3,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, a year ago. Additional 2007 Fourth Quarter Operating Results Product sales for the 2007 fourth quarter were $15.4 million compared to $23.6 million for the same period last year. The higher product sales in the 2006 fourth quarter were due to significant orders from two customers in the computer and imaging markets. Product gross profit rose to $3.8 million from $3.4 million the prior year. As a percent of sales, product gross profit increased to 24.4% from 14.4% for the 2007 and 2006 fourth quarter, respectively, reflecting the Company's margin improvement efforts. Service sales were $2.8 million for the 2007 fourth quarter versus $2.7 million for the same period last year. Gross profit on Service sales was $0.6 million for the 2007 fourth quarter compared to $1.3 million a year ago, reflecting start-up costs for new programs. Some of those programs were outsourced to Aspan Computer Repair Laboratories (Aspan) in Europe, which involved shared margins. 2007 Results Sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, were $73.4 million compared to $75.9 million for 2006. The Company replaced approximately $17 million of low margin sales during 2007 with higher margin sales from growth in existing and new programs. Gross profit was $16.0 million for 2007 versus $14.3 million the prior year, reflecting improved margins from 2006 business replaced in 2007. Gross profit margin increased 2.9 percentage points to 21.8% of sales for 2007 from 18.9% the prior year. Operating expenses were $14.0 million for 2007 compared to $16.7 million the prior year. The 2006 operating expenses included $2.2 million of one-time special items and higher operating costs incurred with the consolidation of the domestic facilities. The one-time special items included costs related to the Operational Improvement Plan, severance expenses and an inventory write-down due to implementation of Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standards. As a percent of sales, operating expenses were 19.1% for 2007 versus 22.0% the prior year. Excluding the one-time special items, operating expenses, expressed as a percent of sales, were comparable to 2006. Interest expense rose to $0.9 million for 2007 from $0.8 million a year ago. This increase was principally due to significantly higher borrowings early in 2007 due to losses in 2006 coupled with the record 2006 fourth quarter sales. The Company reported net income of $426,000, or $0.07 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net loss of $(1.9) million, or $(0.30) per share, for 2006. Private Equity Financing A $2.5 million private equity financing was successfully completed on December 21, 2007. The company issued 1.25 million common shares and warrants to purchase 375,000 additional shares of common stock in a private placement with selected institutional investors. The warrants will be exercisable after six months and for a period of five years from the closing date of the financing. Approximately $1.2 million of the proceeds were used to purchase Aspan and the remaining amount was used to reduce debt so the Company can invest in its infrastructure and additional working capital for PDSi's growing business. Aspan Acquisition Aspan was acquired by PDSi on February 20, 2008. They have provided repair services to PDSi's customers in Europe from their facility since 2006. Both companies offer high-end computer-related repair and logistics services for some of the world's largest OEMs whose products utilize computer technologies. Aspan is headquartered in Tiel, Netherlands, which is close to the European logistics hubs of many OEM customers. The facility serves primarily as the repair depot for their customers' computer boards, storage devices, and other critical peripherals. PDSi enables its customers to reduce their costs and also increase capability to support their global installed base. While margins were previously split subject to an operating agreement, Aspan's results will be fully consolidated into PDSi's results in 2008 as of the date of the acquisition. PDSi is currently in the process of having Aspan's legal name of Aspan B.V. changed to PDSi B.V. Term Note and Revolving Credit Facilities Improved performance and positive cash flow in 2007 enabled PDSi to pay off its $4 million term loan with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank") on February 10, 2008 with excess availability on its $11 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "AB Line"). In addition, on March 11, 2008, PDSi signed a commitment letter from KeyBank to modify the AB Line back to its previous structure as an $11 million revolving credit promissory note with a 2-year rolling commitment and a maturity date of May 15, 2010, subject to annual reviews. PDSi and KeyBank expect to finalize the necessary loan documents prior to May 15, 2008. Conference Call PDSi will host a conference call today, March 12, 2008, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Michael R. Sayre, President, Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, and Michael Darnell, Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, will discuss the Company's fourth quarter and full-year results for 2007, recent corporate developments and PDSi's long-term growth strategy.
