CSP Inc. Reports Third-Quarter Fiscal 2012 Financial Results
BILLERICA, MA, February 11, 2013 - CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI), a provider of IT solutions, systems integration services and dense cluster computing systems, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended December 31, 2012.
Management Comments
“Our first-quarter results were within our expectations,” said CSP President & Chief Executive Officer Victor Dellovo. “Revenue was flat with the first quarter of last year, excluding the negative effect of foreign currency. Growth at the Service and Systems Integration segment offset a decline in revenues at the Systems segment. We reported a three cent profit, which was down from last year due primarily to a lower mix of sales from the Systems business.”
“At our Systems segment, we recorded royalty revenue for the final plane on the purchase order for phases 3 and 4 of the low rate initial production phase of the E-2D advanced Hawkeye intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft,” said Dellovo. “We are now starting to see activity related to Lot 1 of full-rate production and we have received a request for quotes for parts. We expect to ship parts for five planes in the current fiscal year and receive royalties in fiscal 2014. At our Service and Systems Integration segment, sales growth was driven by new customer acquisition at our US subsidiary. We have been successful in generating new customers in the medical segment. This new business is incremental to the strength we are seeing with our hosting customers.”
“During the quarter, we made progress in executing on our new growth strategy,” said Dellovo. “A key element of this strategy is to cross sell our Systems segment multicomputers with our Services and Systems Integration software and services to become more of an end-to-end supplier to our legacy customers as well as to new customers in new markets. We have recently met with major multicomputer customers, and they are positive about the cost and time savings as well as the domain expertise that we can provide. With this validation from our customers, we are hopeful that we will see results from this initiative following the resolution of the many issues surrounding the Federal military budget. We also were successful in cross-selling across our Modcomp subsidiaries as our UK operation is now beginning to service US subsidiary customers.”
“Looking ahead, we expect improved performance from our Systems segment in the second quarter as a result of increased sales to international customers, although we will still face a difficult year-over-year comparison in fiscal 2013 due to the E-2D royalties recorded in fiscal 2012. We expect that our Service and Systems Integration segment will continue to report growth for the remainder of the year. Longer term, we are confident that our new strategy will lead to sustainable long-term growth and profitability, as well as enhanced shareholder value,” concluded Dellovo.

Financial Results
For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, revenue declined 1% year over year to $20.9 million. Excluding the negative effect of foreign exchange, sales were essentially flat.
Gross margin for the first quarter decreased to 20% from 23% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to a lower mix of sales from the Systems business, including lower royalty revenues, as well as sales mix in Germany.
Net income for the first quarter was $115,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $461,000, or $0.14 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Cash and short-term investments decreased from $20.5 million at September 30, 2012 to $17.7 million at the end of the first quarter, due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable. The increase of approximately $4.3 million was due primarily to a large volume of sale to a significant customer who are granted extended payment terms and timing of shipments near the end of the quarter. CSP's cash position may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to the high working capital requirements needed to fund large projects at both its Systems and its Services and Systems Integration segments.
