MATTHEWS, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 24, 2011--PokerTek, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEK) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2010.
Mark Roberson, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “I am pleased to report that our quarterly operating results continued to improve with revenue growth and margin expansion driving positive EBITDAS and a 50% improvement in our per share results from continuing operations. Our business fundamentals have responded favorably to the focused marketing strategies and cost reduction efforts we previously implemented.
“The focus of our 2011 strategic plan is driving revenue growth, both by expanding PokerPro® and by launching Blackjack ProTM as our first house-banked game. Our decision to begin the product diversification initiative with blackjack came as a direct result of customer requests for a product built with the same reliability, intuitive game play and efficient design that made PokerPro the industry’s dominant electronic poker table. Our first Blackjack Pro games were installed this month, and we expect this new product to become a more significant component of our future revenue and margin growth.
“With our business fundamentals and growth prospects strengthening, we are implementing a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split effective as of 11:59 p.m. tonight. We believe that maintaining our NASDAQ listing is in the best interest of our shareholders.
“As we enter 2011, I am excited about PokerTek’s future as we transition from the industry’s dominant poker specialist to a diversified supplier of electronic table games with expanded growth opportunities.”
Financial Summary
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $1.6 million compared to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $5.9 million compared to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Revenues improved on both a quarterly and full-year basis as a result of increased penetration of PokerPro in our target markets and growth in tablecount.
Gross profit increased 70% to $1.1 million for the 2010 quarter from $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $3.9 million as compared to $2.4 million for 2009. Gross profit margins increased to70% for the quarter and 66% for the full year as compared to 48% and 44% for the prior-year periods. The improvements are attributable to increased tablecount, improved asset utilization and lower depreciation and amortization.
Operating expenses were $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $1.4 million for the prior-year period. Operating expenses were $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $7.3 million for 2009. Operating expenses have been relatively stable throughout 2010, following significant cost reduction activities in 2009.
Net loss from continuing operations improved 42% to $0.5 million ($0.03 per share) from $0.8 million ($0.06 per share) for the quarter and 46% to $2.8 million ($0.19 per share) from $5.3 million ($0.44 per share) on a full-year basis. Including the results of discontinued operations, quarterly net loss improved 49% to $0.5 million ($0.03 per share) from $0.9 million ($0.07 per share) and full-year net loss improved 29% to $4.0 million ($0.27 per share) compared to $5.7 million ($0.47 per share).
EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure, improved to a profit of $43 thousand for the 2010 fourth quarter, compared to a loss of $111 thousand in the prior–year period. EBITDAS for the year ended December 31, 2010 was a loss of $103 thousand compared to a loss of $1.7 million for 2009.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information
Cash used in operating activities improved 81% from $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The improvement in operating cash flow is directly attributable to our improved profitability combined with working capital controls.
As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s cash balance was $0.7 million.
Unit Count Information
PokerPro tables installed worldwide totaled 253 units as of December 31, 2010 compared to 206 as of December 31, 2009.
Information regarding Reverse Stock Split
PokerTek has filed Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split at 11:59 p.m. EST on February 24, 2011. This reverse split will better enable the Company to meet and maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market and to attract additional shareholder interest. The reverse stock split has been implemented in accordance with the authorization, and within the split ratio range, adopted by shareholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 22, 2010.
PokerTek’s common stock will begin trading on a post-split basis on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 25, 2011. Beginning on that date, PokerTek’s common stock will trade for 20 trading days under ticker symbol “PTEKD” to provide notice of the reverse stock split. After this period, the symbol will revert back to “PTEK.”
At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 2.5 shares of PokerTek’s pre-split common stock, including shares subject to outstanding stock options and warrants and shares available for grant under PokerTek’s stock incentive plans, will automatically be combined into one share of PokerTek’s post-split common stock. The reverse stock split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s ownership percentage of PokerTek’s shares (except to the extent that the reverse stock split will result in some shareholders receiving whole shares in lieu of fractional shares). StockTrans, Inc., PokerTek’s transfer agent, will provide instructions to shareholders regarding the process for exchanging their stock certificates. Following the reverse stock split, 6,219,541 shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding, excluding outstanding and unexercised stock options and warrants.
Conference Call
A conference call and webcast will be held on Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. EST for management to discuss the company’s fourth-quarter 2010 performance. Interested parties may listen to and participate in the conference call by dialing 888.679.8038 (U.S./Canada) or 617.213.4850 (Other) and entering passcode 55918125. A live webcast of the conference call will be available through a link on our website, www.pokertek.com, under the heading “Investors” as well as at www.earnings.com and www.streetevents.com. For those unable to participate in the live call, an archived replay will be made available for one year on our website. A replay of the conference call will also be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the call for approximately one week by dialing 888-286-8010 (U.S./Canada) or 617-801-6888 (Other) and entering passcode 56525046.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
PokerTek, Inc. prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding EBITDAS, which differs from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income (loss) from continuing operations to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, EBITDAS also excludes noncash charges, certain non-recurring charges and share-based compensation expense. EBITDA and EBITDAS are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, EBITDAS is used internally by PokerTek’s management and by its lenders in planning and evaluating the company’s operating performance. Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of this metric offers investors, lenders and other stakeholders an additional view of the Company’s operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s financial results.
EBITDAS should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to EBITDAS is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
