CEO Commentary Brian Crowley, chief executive officer for Bsquare, commented on Q4 results and business activity, "Fourth quarter revenue came in at the high end of our expectations, and combined with our previously announced expense reductions, drove solid performance in the quarter. Our primary focus continues to be accelerating revenue growth through our Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 initiatives, growing our HTML5 product and engineering service revenue, and maintaining revenue from TestQuest and our other products." Since its last earnings announcement, the Company made progress on a number of key initiatives, including: Launched a Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 porting service for Android, iOS and legacy Windows applications and completed several porting projects. The service ports existing applications from various platforms to Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 quickly and affordably, delivering completed applications for submission for Windows Store and Windows Phone Store certification; Enhanced the management team with the addition of Mike Stipe as Sr. Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, bringing more than 26 years of sales experience in executive and management positions at both Fortune 500 and entrepreneurial technology companies; Honored by Microsoft as a 2012 Americas Windows Embedded Partner Excellence Award recipient for technical excellence for the Bsquare HTML5 Rendering Engine. The Award recognizes Bsquare for its development of a robust HTML5 and JavaScript environment that allows OEMs developing with the Windows Embedded Compact and Windows Embedded Handheld platforms to deliver rich HTML5-based user experiences, streamline development and future-proof their devices; Announced the availability of a new Bsquare Board Support Package for the Texas Instruments Jacinto 4 / DM8148. The new Board Support Package enables streamlined development on these Texas Instruments development platforms, which are ideally suited for human machine interfaces in automotive and industrial applications; Announced the availability of a new Bsquare Board Support Package for Freescale i.MX 6. The new Board Support Package enables streamlined development on the Freescale development platform, which is ideally suited for applications such as human machine interfaces in automotive, healthcare, industrial and in-flight entertainment markets; and Strengthened its corporate governance team with the addition of Andrew Harries to its Board of Directors.Financial Commentary on Fourth Quarter Results (Y/Y Comparison) The increase in third-party software sales, up $4.3 million, or 30%, was driven primarily by a $5.1 million increase in sales of Windows Embedded and Windows Mobile operating systems which, in turn, was driven by an increase in sales to a North American customer and a customer in Asia as a result of pricing commitment buyouts, and expansion of Windows Embedded sales into Europe; The decrease in engineering services revenue, down $2.2 million, or 28%, was primarily driven by a $1.9 million decline in North American service revenue resulting from the MyFord Touch™ program; The decrease in service margin, down 29% or six percentage points, was driven by a decline in utilization; The increase in proprietary software margin, up 274% or 63 percentage points, was primarily driven by a TestQuest impairment charge of $518,000 that negatively affected the year-ago quarter; The decline in operating expenses, down $866,000, or 16%, was primarily attributable to decreases in research and development (R&D) and sales expense. The R&D decline was driven by previously announced headcount and other cost reductions made in the third quarter while the sales expense reduction was driven by lower headcount and related costs associated with reductions made during the year, some of which have since been backfilled; and Quarter-end cash and investments of $20.6 million, including long-term amounts, increased by $1.1 million compared to September 30, 2012, driven largely by positive operating results. Outlook The Company currently has the following expectations for Q1 2013: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $21 million to $23 million. Revenue is expected to be down sequentially due to several Microsoft licensing customers who bought out their annual pricing commitments in Q4 2012 and are not expected to begin ordering at normal volumes again until the second quarter; a decline in service revenue due to service projects that completed in the fourth quarter with replacement projects not expected to ramp up until the second quarter; and a large TestQuest order in Q4 that is not expected to reoccur in Q1; and Cash and investments are projected to be flat, to down slightly, from December 31, 2012.Conference Call Management will host a conference call today, February 21, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time).
