DecisionPoint Systems Reports Results For Third Quarter, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint™ Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI and DPSIP), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility and Wireless Application solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. During the quarter, the Company further reduced its expenses as it continued to right-size for the reduced revenue levels resulting from the discontinuation and disposition of its former CMAC subsidiary. CMAC results have been eliminated from both the current periods being reported, and from the previous-year periods shown for comparison purposes.

Sales for the third quarter of 2015 were $8.2 million, down 29.0% from sales of $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net income for the third quarter from continuing operations was $229,000, versus net income of $133,000 in the previous-year period. The third quarter net loss attributable to common shareholders, including continuing operations and discontinued operations, was $252,000 or $0.02 loss per share, down from a net loss of $897,000 or $0.07 loss per share for the third quarter of 2014, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $696,000 or $0.05 loss per share. Gross profit margins for the third quarter of 2015 were 20.4%, down modestly from 20.7% in the third quarter of 2014. Selling, general & administrative expenses declined 28.5% to $1.7 million versus $2.4 million in the third quarter of the previous year, in line with the reduction in revenues.

Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 – again adjusted to eliminate discontinued operations at CMAC – were $27.4 million, down 27.5% from the sales of $37.8 million in the nine months of 2014. The net loss for the nine months was $3.6 million from continuing operations, or $5.1 million attributable to common shareholders including both continuing operations and discontinued operations. This loss includes a $3.0 million write-off of goodwill and intangible assets relating to the Apex operations which had been recognized in our results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015. That compares to a net loss in the first nine months of 2014 of $226,000 from continuing operations, or $1.7 million attributable to common shareholders including both continuing operations and discontinued operations. This represents a $0.41 loss per share in the first nine months of 2015 compared to a $0.14 loss per share in the first nine months of 2014. Gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2015 decreased to 20.3% from 21.4% in last year's comparable period. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measurement that management uses to measure progress) was $220,000 for the first nine months of this year compared to $1,106,000 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $886,000.¹

CEO Greg Henry commented, "The year to date has been tough, but there are some bright points. We improved quarterly profit from continuing operations from $133,000 to $229,000 year-to-year, due in large part to our proactive commitment to control expenses and right-size company operations to the lower revenues we are reporting following the divestiture of CMAC, the write-down of assets relating to Apex and other factors. We started the year with the defection of a group of employees from our sales force; those individuals showed up immediately in the employment of a direct competitor. As we have said before, we have filed lawsuits for breaches of confidentiality and breach of fiduciary duty. Gross profit margins are stabilizing at a level not very different from the like periods in 2014. And we believe that the rate of decrease in revenue may moderate during the fourth quarter of this year.

"Importantly, our term debt stands at $1.6 million, down from the $2.4 million in term debt as of December 31, 2014. During this period we have been running the business on cash flow, and have not raised any new funds through the sale of securities. We believe the core business remaining at DecisionPoint represents a platform company in mobile computing services and software. The Company welcomes the challenge of growing the core business and building shareholder value.

"Last year was our first year of profitability in quite a while, and we hoped to perform a repeat. However, with our focus on the future, we are still investing in the people and services to support our customers and the mobile computing market at large."

CFO Michael Roe said, "Cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 2015 was $1.7 million, as compared to $2.2 million in the comparable period of 2014. Overall term bank debt is lower by nearly $800,000 than it was at the beginning of the year. SG&A from continuing operations has remained right-sized for our revenues, and some components of that measurement constitute a smaller portion of revenues than in the past, in part due to our continued emphasis on streamlining our operations and controlling expenses. Our aggressive cost cutting has helped us in this difficult year.

"Interest expense was also lower, due to lower borrowings. Our cash was $260,000 at September 30, 2015, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2014. We have elected to issue our preferred stock dividends for 2015 in payment-in-kind shares in order to further conserve cash. We intend to continue to aggressively seek legal recourse against Tolt Solutions Inc., a direct competitor and the current employer of some members of the sales group that left DecisionPoint in the first quarter, and others involved in that matter."

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial information; namely, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA.

The non-GAAP financial measures provided are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financials. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures appears below.

All amounts included in the table below are derived from continuing operations and do not include activity from discontinued operations, (unaudited and shown in thousands).
