DECISIONPOINT SYSTEMS PROVIDES PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR
FIRST QUARTER 2014

Revenue Jumps 21%; Gross Profit Margin Increases by 90 Basis Points
SG&A Expense Reduced by 26%

Irvine, CA (May 5, 2014) DecisionPoint™ Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI and OTCQB: DPSID), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility and Wireless Applications, today provided preliminary financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Preliminary Financial Highlights of First Quarter 2014:
 
  Revenue at $16.7 million increased 21% over the $13.8 million reported for Q1/2013
  Gross margin increased approximately 90 basis points to 21.4% over the 20.5% gross margin reported for Q1/2013
  SG&A expense decreased 26% to $3.7 million from the $5.0 million reported for Q1/2013
  Adjusted EBITDA of $731,000 reflecting a strong improvement over the loss of $1.019 million in Q1/2013
  Positive cash flow from operations showed an improvement of $1.4 million reaching $560,000 compared to negative ($837,000) for Q1/2013
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company announced, on a preliminary basis, revenues of $16.7 million, compared to $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, a 21% increase over the prior year.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company preliminarily announced a net loss of $113,000 for the period compared to a net loss of $2.1 million for Q1/2013, and a net loss after taking into account dividend payments and imputed dividends on the Company’s Preferred shares outstanding of $442,000 or $0.04 loss per common share, compared with a net loss of $2.3 million or $0.27 loss per common share for the year-earlier period.

DecisionPoint expects to report its final results in the near future, after its independent accountants have finished their review procedures.  There can be no assurance that the final results will be identical to, or as strong as, the preliminary results.

CEO Nicholas Toms commented, “The strong year-over-year growth gives us a good start for 2014, which we believe will be a good year for the Company and for our shareholders.  The improving economy, together with expense reductions that we effected in the final months of 2013 and the further integration of the companies we previously acquired, have made it possible for us to achieve much better bottom-line results as well.  We are pleased that our gross profit margin increased compared to last year’s first quarter. We reduced our SG&A expense by 26%, to $3.7 million, versus $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2013, reducing our operating loss to $143,000, compared to a loss of $2.2 million in last year’s first quarter.  As you move down our P&L, our net loss before taxes was $91,000, down quite significantly from the $2.4 million loss for last year’s first quarter.

“As a management tool, we use two non-GAAP metrics to help us analyze our results.  Those are EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and Adjusted EBITIDA.  On an EBITDA basis, we had reported a negative $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2013.  That turned around completely this year, and was a positive $565,000.  The Adjusted EBITDA adds back some noncash items like stock-based compensation, and some nonrecurring costs such as restructuring costs; that gives us a more accurately projectable number.  On that basis, last year’s negative was $1.0 million, and this year’s first quarter generated a positive $731,000 in Adjusted EBITDA.

“You may recall that we were not able to ship some orders at the end of December due to non-delivery to us of some products by a vendor.  About $300,000 of that spilled over into the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  But most of our growth was from new orders, which grew broadly across industry segments, including in particular, strong and continuing demand from health care with seven figure orders from the likes of Lifewatch, and at several of our major retail accounts from our retail base, including new mobile systems and a seven-figure Omnichannel order.    We saw strength in the first quarter in both iOS installations and in Android installations.  We are finding that Android tends to be favored by certain enterprises, very much the way that Windows is the choice of certain enterprises, while iOS systems are gaining share in other enterprises. Our company’s strength in each of these three operating systems has positioned us to provide a broad panoply of solutions to our customers, gives us a significant competitive advantage and we think validates our strategy.”

CFO Michael Roe pointed out that Term Debt, which stood at $4.7 million at December 31, 2012, had been paid down to $3.4 million by December 31, 2013, and was further paid down during the first quarter to $3.1 million for a total debt reduction of approximately $1.6 million over the past five quarters.   In addition, the Company generated free cash flow after debt service of approximately $200,000 during the first quarter this year.

Mr Toms noted that there has been a strong pickup in aggregate demand this year, and he noted that the harsh winter weather did not seem to have dampened that trend.  “Usually the first quarter is our weakest quarter,” he said.  “It is still early in the second quarter, but it appears that the usual pattern is going to hold, with the first and fourth quarters generally weaker, and the second and third quarters generally stronger.  From today’s vantage point, we believe we are on track for strong growth in revenues and improvements in operating results for 2014.”
