POINT.360 ANNOUNCES THIRD FISCAL QUARTER AND YEAR TO DATE RESULTS

 

Point.360 (NASDAQ: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2013, including nine month sales of $23.7 million, operating cash flow of $1.6 million, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (EBITDAN) of $2.0 million.

 

Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: “We continued to generate positive cash flow in the first nine months of fiscal 2013. We are finding increasing demand for localization of content for international use. Additionally, we are working with several major portals for the delivery of content.”

 

Mr. Bagerdjian continued: “By the end of summer, we expect to open two new Movie>Q stores to test a smaller physical distribution model. Delays have resulted from the long ordering periods for certain components related to the new system. Since the lease costs of these stores have been previously absorbed by the existing three stores, incremental sales are expected to generate greater gross margins.”

 

Revenues

 

Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 totaled $8.3 million compared to $8.5 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 were $23.7 million compared to $26.0 million last year. Declines were due primarily to lower content distribution orders by a major customer.

 

Gross Margin

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, gross margin was $3.1 million (37% of sales), compared to $2.8 million (33% of sales) in the prior year’s quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, gross margins were $8.3 million (35% of sales), compared to $9.3 million (36% of sales) in last year’s period.

 

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses

 

For the third quarter of fiscal 2013, SG&A expenses were $3.0 million, or 37% of sales, compared to $3.0 million, or 36% of sales in the third quarter of last year. For the current nine month period, SG&A expenses were $8.9 million (37% of sales), compared to $9.2 million (35% of sales) last year.

 

Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2013, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.6 million in last year’s three and nine month periods. The decrease was due to lower interest rates and amounts borrowed.

 

Other income in all periods includes sublease income. In the fiscal 2013 nine month period, other income also included a $332,000 discount received on the payoff of a mortgage, offset by the write offs of $90,000 of deferred financing costs related to that mortgage and a $30,000 fee to terminate a revolving credit agreement, in addition to income of $131,000 associated with a change in accounting estimate related to a customer rebate program.
