TSS, Inc. Reports Preliminary Fourth Quarter And 2014 Results

ROUND ROCK, Texas, March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TSS, Inc. (Other OTC: TSSI), a data center and mission critical facilities and technology services company, reported preliminary results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. These are preliminary and unaudited results based on current expectations and are subject to quarter and year-end closing adjustments; accordingly, actual results may differ.

Preliminary 2014 Financial Results:

The Company expects to report fourth quarter revenue of approximately $8.4 million and fiscal 2014 revenues of approximately $28 million, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of approximately $0.4 million for the fourth quarter and a non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.2 million for 2014. The Company expects to report net income between $0 - 0.1 million for the fourth quarter and a net loss for 2014 of approximately $2.5 million.

"We were pleased to deliver higher revenues and to achieve profitable results during the fourth quarter," said Anthony Angelini, President and Chief Executive Officer of TSS. "We have been focused on operating our business profitability without compromising the service and value that we deliver to our customers. Our gross profit margin doubled compared to the previous year driving a substantial improvement in our results."

Filing of Form 12b-25

The Company also announced today that it has filed a Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, with the Securities and Exchange Commission providing the Company a 15 day extension to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company must extend its filing date to provide additional time to complete the audit of its financial statements, which could not be accomplished by the original filing date without incurring unreasonable effort and expense because the Company needs additional time to respond to information requests from its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the fifteen day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25.
