Sonic Foundry Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results
Sonic Foundry (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted leader for video
creation and management
solutions, today announced consolidated financial results for its
fiscal 2015 second quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Select quarterly financial highlights:
-
Billings of $9.1 million, a decrease of 12% from $10.3 million
compared to the same period last year. Billings in Japan were less
than the prior year by approximately $700 thousand due to both
significant currency rate changes compared to last year as well as
continued construction delays. We also made the decision to route
fewer transactions to our key distribution partners in an effort to
reduce associated carrying and transaction costs that had a $350
thousand impact.
-
Revenues of $8.1 million, a decrease of 9% compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 2014. No revenue was recorded on a $900 thousand
international transaction shipped in the quarter, the majority of
which will be recognized as revenue in the third fiscal quarter.
-
Product and other revenue of $3.3 million, a decrease of 20%
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014
-
Service revenue of $4.8 million, an increase of 1% over the second
quarter of fiscal 2014
-
Gross margin of $6.2 million or 77% compared to $6.5 million or 73%
for the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in gross margin
percentage was driven by operational improvements in Europe as well as
improved margins in Japan.
-
Net loss of $1.4 million or $(0.31) per basic share compared to a net
loss of $871 thousand or $(0.21) per basic share in the second quarter
of fiscal 2014.
-
Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(301) thousand compared to Adjusted EBITDA
income of $984 thousand in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
-
Cash of $2.6 million compared to $4.3 million at September 30, 2014.
As of March 31, 2015, $9.9 million of revenue from services and products
were unearned (an increase from $8.8 million as of March 31, 2014). The
company expects to realize $3.7 million of that in the quarter ending
June 30, 2015. Unearned revenue increased $1.0 million during the
quarter as a result of the large international transaction referred to
above which was fully deferred in the current period. Services revenue,
which includes Mediasite customer support contracts, training,
installation, rental, event and content hosting services, is recognized
over the life of the contract.
International product and service billings accounted for 55 percent of
Sonic Foundry's consolidated billings in the second quarter of fiscal
2015, compared to 57 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
International billings have remained high primarily as a result of
customer wins in the Middle East and sales efforts of our locations in
Europe and Japan.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, 75 percent of billings were to
existing customers, compared to 66 percent during the same period last
year, with 31 percent to corporate customers and 61 percent to education
customers.
"We're pleased to be progressing with large deals like the one in the
Middle East, and expect to see more of them closing this fiscal year. As
a company we are well positioned to take advantage of the largest, most
strategic investments in video as campuses realize the value of building
it into their very infrastructure. While the enterprise video market is
still early stage, it's growing, and we are committed to innovating the
best, most holistic solutions that drive growth and lead customers to
build stronger organizations," said Gary Weis, chief executive officer
of Sonic Foundry.
As a result of the impact of currency rate changes in Japan and Europe,
continued construction delays in Japan as well as timing of domestic
opportunities compared to last year, the company is revising the fiscal
2015 guidance provided previously for billings to between $41 and $42
million, adjusted EBITDA of between $1.5 and $2.5 million and a net loss
of between $1 and $2 million.
To supplement and enhance the reader's understanding of our operating
performance and our ability to satisfy lender requirements, we disclose
Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization
(Adjusted EBITDA), a non-GAAP measure of operating performance. As a
result, we will no longer disclose the non-GAAP measure we provided
prior to Fiscal 2015. Our adjusted EBITDA measure excludes stock
compensation expense from the SEC (News - Alert) definition of EBITDA. As such, our
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies, and should not be viewed as an alternative
to net income as a measurement of our operating performance. Our credit
agreement contains a minimum debt service coverage ratio based, in part,
on Adjusted EBITDA since this measure is representative of adjusted
income available for debt and interest payments. A reconciliation of net
loss to adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
are included in the release. The company is unable to provide a
reconciliation of projected EBITDA to projected net income due to the
unknown effect, timing and potential significance of certain income
statement items.
Sonic Foundry will host a corporate webcast today for analysts and
investors to discuss its fiscal 2015 second quarter results at 3:30 p.m.
CT / 4:30 p.m. ET. It will use its patented rich media communications
system, Mediasite,
to webcast the presentation for both live and on-demand viewing. To
access the presentation, register at www.sonicfoundry.com/earnings.
An archive of the webcast will be available for 90 days.
