FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Crossroads Systems Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
AUSTIN, Texas – March 6, 2014 – Crossroads Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDS), a global provider of data archive solutions, reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended January 31, 2014.
Revenue for fiscal Q1 2014 was $4.1 million, an increase of 16 percent from $3.6 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in IP license, royalty and other revenue. Gross profit for fiscal Q1 2014 was $3.5 million, or 85 percent of total revenue, as compared to $2.6 million or 73 percent of total revenue in the same quarter a year ago.
Operating expenses for fiscal Q1 2014 totaled $3.9 million as compared to $5.7 million in the same period a year ago, a decrease of 31 percent, primarily due to our reduction in force in October 2013.
The Company improved its loss from operations to $(395,000) in the quarter from $(3.1) million in the same quarter of 2013. The Company also recorded a $1.1 million gain on the termination of a previous service contract, resulting in income before interest and derivative expense of $655,000 in fiscal Q1 2014 compared to a loss of $(3.1) million in the same quarter a year ago.
Net loss available to common stockholders for fiscal Q1 2014 totaled $(3.5) million or $(0.28) loss per share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $(3.1) million or $(0.27) loss per share in the same quarter a year ago. Approximately $(3.4) million of the loss is attributable to the change in value of derivative instruments as a result of fluctuations in our stock price. These derivative instruments are marked to market each quarter and a change in the value of the derivative instruments may cause fluctuations in our net loss per share from quarter to quarter until the ratchet on our Series F preferred stock and warrants expires in March.
At January 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased $0.2 million to $8.0 million from $7.8 million in the previous quarter.
