SAINT PAUL, MN (June 12, 2014) — MGC Diagnostics Corporation (NASDAQ: MGCD), a global medical technology company, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended April 30, 2014.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2014 Highlights:

 

 

 

 

Net Income for the 2014 second quarter increased 22% to $308,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $252,000, or $0.06 per diluted share in the 2013 second quarter;

 

Second quarter revenue was $7.4 million, compared to $7.6 in the 2013 second quarter;

 

Sequential quarterly revenue grew 17.8% versus the fiscal 2014 first quarter;

 

International sales for the quarter increased 27% to $1.6 million, compared to last year’s period;

 

Second quarter service revenue increased 35% on a year-over-year basis;

 

The second quarter Attachment Rate of point-of-sale extended service contracts improved to 32%, compared to 27% in the 2013 second quarter;

 

Second quarter 2014 recurring revenue (service and supplies revenues) totaled $3.2 million, or 43% of total revenue;

 

The Company achieved 12 second quarter competitive account conversions, resulting in $839,000 of revenue;

 

Second quarter current and long-term deferred revenue was $5.9 million;

 

Backlog at the end of the second quarter was $542,000, an increase of 46% from the first quarter of fiscal 2014;

 

Strong balance sheet with $11.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $15.4 million of working capital and no long-term debt; and

 

At October 31, 2013, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $12.8 million that may be used to offset a portion of the Company’s future tax liability.

Todd M. Austin, Chief Executive Officer of MGC Diagnostics, said, “Our fiscal 2014 second quarter results demonstrate significant improvement compared to our fiscal 2014 first quarter. We continue to have orders in our pipeline that have been delayed due to customer uncertainties regarding the financial impact of the Affordable Care Act, which has lengthened our sales cycle. Management anticipates MGC will close these orders during fiscal 2014 as the industry more fully understands the reimbursement issues under the Affordable Care Act.”

Second quarter fiscal 2014 revenue of $7.4 million was comparable to $7.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Domestic 2014 second quarter sales decreased 7% to $5.9 million compared to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, while international sales increased 27% to $1.6 million from $1.2 million for last year’s second quarter. Second quarter Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) sales increased 5% to $4.1 million, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year’s second quarter.

Equipment, supplies and accessories sales decreased 9% in the 2014 second quarter to $5.8 million compared to $6.4 million in the 2013 second quarter. Service revenues increased 35% to $1.6 million in the 2014 second quarter, compared to $1.2 million in the 2013 second quarter. The Attachment Rate, which tracks the sale of extended service contracts at the point of new equipment sales, increased to 32% for the fiscal 2014 second quarter, compared to 27% for the same period last year.

Gross margin increased slightly to 55.8%, compared to 55.7% for the 2013 second quarter, primarily due to revenue mix as our service revenue comprised a greater percentage of revenue in the 2014 second quarter. Gross margin for equipment, supplies and accessories decreased slightly to 52.8% for the second fiscal quarter of 2014, compared to 52.9% for the prior year’s quarter. Gross margin for services decreased to 66.4% for the quarter, compared to 70.3% for the prior year’s quarter, due primarily to the higher costs associated with servicing extended service contracts.

Second quarter 2014 general and administrative expenses totaled $1.3 million, or 17.3% of revenue, compared to $1.2, or 16.0% of revenue in the comparable quarter last year. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.9 million, or 25.4% of revenue, compared to $2.1 million, or 27.7% of revenue, in the 2013 second quarter. Research and development expenses were $640,000, or 8.6% of revenue, compared to $640,000, or 8.5% of revenue in last year’s second quarter.

Second quarter operating income improved to $327,000, compared to operating income of $258,000 in the 2013 second quarter. For the 2014 second quarter, the Company reported net income of $308,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $252,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the 2013 second quarter.

“We enter the second half of fiscal 2014 with a robust sales pipeline, a solid balance sheet with cash in excess of $11 million and no long-term debt,” continued Mr. Austin. “We are well positioned to leverage our newly formed strategic partnership with Sleep Virtual, as we enter the adjacent Cardiorespiratory diagnostic market for the detection, classification and management of sleep apnea. This, and other strategic opportunities, allows us to strengthen our competitive and financial position.

Mark W. Sheffert, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said, “The recently appointed executive management team of CEO Todd Austin, President Matt Margolies and COO and CFO Wes Winnekins is dedicated to leveraging the progress achieved by our employees and business partners over the past two years to drive operational and financial results with the goal of rewarding our loyal shareholders. We look forward to the opportunities ahead with great anticipation.”
