POINT.360 ANNOUNCES FOURTH FISCAL QUARTER AND FISCAL 2013 RESULTS

 

Point.360 (NASDAQ: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2013. For the twelve month period ending June 30, 2013 sales were $30.9 million, and the loss per share was $0.12. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s sales were $7.2 million, generating a loss of $0.08 per share. The Company also reported $1.8 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (non-GAAP EBITDAN) for the twelve-month period, and EBITDAN of ($0.2) million for the three-month period.

 

Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: “The fiscal 2013 change in sales is the result of lower orders from a major customer who brought “in house” some of the work previously outsourced to Point.360. We have experienced similar activity for some customers in the past, and we normally see these fluctuations reverse themselves over time, as customers once again look for the efficiencies that we provide.”

 

Mr. Bagerdjian continued: “On a positive note, we are now approved to deliver both feature and television content to Google's VOD platform following an extensive technical qualification and testing period. Additionally, content deliveries on behalf of our studio clients to Netflix, Amazon and Hulu are growing. We look forward to improvement in fiscal 2014.”

 

Revenues

 

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 totaled $7.2 million compared to $9.0 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 were $30.9 million compared to $35.0 million last year. Declines were due primarily to lower content distribution orders by a major customer.

 

Gross Margin

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, gross margin was $2.2 million (31% of sales), compared to $3.6 million (40% of sales) in the prior year’s fourth quarter. For fiscal 2013, gross margin was $10.5 million or 34% of sales, compared to $12.9 million, or 37% of sales in last year.

 

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses

 

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, SG&A expenses were $3.1 million, or 43% of sales, compared to $2.9 million, or 32% of sales, in the fourth quarter of last year. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2013, SG&A expenses were $12.0 million (39% of sales) compared to $12.1 million (35% of sales) last year.

 

Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2013, and $0.2 million and $0.8 million in the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was due to lower interest rates and amounts borrowed.

 

Other income in all periods includes sublease income. In the fiscal 2013 twelve month period, other income also included a $332,000 discount received on the payoff of a mortgage, which was recorded as a gain on debt extinguishment, 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.
