Concurrent Reports Fiscal Year 2014 Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Financial Results

ATLANTA — August 27, 2014  Concurrent (NASDAQ: CCUR), a global leader in video, media data intelligence and real-time Linux® solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 grew by 19.7% year over year to $17.9 million, compared with $14.9 million for the same period in fiscal 2013, and was down 2.3% compared with $18.3 million in the preceding quarter.

Gross margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was 60.0%, compared with 56.8% for the same period in fiscal 2013, and 56.1% in the preceding quarter, primarily reflecting the mix of products and customers.  Operating expenses were $8.6 million, compared with $6.0 million for the same period in fiscal 2013, and $9.0 million in the preceding quarter.  Operating expenses in the prior year period were reduced by $2.4 million as a result of a one-time benefit on the sale of non-strategic intellectual property.

The company reported net income of $15.6 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, compared with net income of $2.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the same period in fiscal 2013, and net income of $1.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter. Fourth quarter fiscal 2014 results included a $13.7 million non-cash gain associated with the reversal of a portion of the company's U.S. tax valuation allowance.

"We are pleased to report continued progress in the fourth quarter and a solid finish to fiscal 2014," said Dan Mondor, Concurrent's president and CEO. "Our revenue in the fourth quarter was up nearly 20% versus the same period last year and full year revenue grew more than 12% over the prior year.  Not including proceeds related to the sale of intellectual property in fiscal 2013, we nearly doubled our operating income year-over-year, grew our operating cash flow over 37%, and returned $4.4M to our shareholders in the form of cash dividends.  We also expanded our video and real-time customer base, added to our product portfolio, and were awarded five new video patents during the course of the year.  In summary, we made solid progress in fiscal 2014 in both improved financial performance and continued market traction and we are optimistic as we move forward in fiscal 2015."

For fiscal 2014, revenue totaled approximately $71.2 million, compared with $63.4 million for fiscal 2013.  Consolidated gross margin for the year was 56.8%, compared with 58.1% for fiscal 2013.  Total operating expenses were $35.1 million for fiscal 2014, compared with total operating expenses of $31.8 million for fiscal 2013.  Prior year operating expenses included a $2.4 million one-time benefit on the sale of non-strategic intellectual property.  For fiscal 2014, the company posted $18.5 million of net income, equal to $2.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.2 million, equal to $0.48 per diluted share, in fiscal 2013. Fiscal 2014 results included a $13.9 million non-cash gain associated with the reversal of $13.7 million of the company's U.S. tax valuation allowance in the fourth quarter, and the reversal of $0.2 million of the company's U.K. tax valuation allowance earlier in the year.

Reversal of Tax Valuation Allowance
 
Due to our recent trend of positive operating results in the U.S. we realized a $13.7 million tax benefit related to the release of a portion of our valuation allowance, which represents the amount of our U.S. deferred tax asset that we expect to realize in future years. This release is based upon our estimate of U.S. future taxable earnings.  In the recent past, our U.S. tax provision expense has been limited to the alternative minimum tax amount for federal tax purposes, which approximates 2% of earnings before income taxes, and state taxes in various jurisdictions.  As a result of our non-cash valuation allowance release during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, we expect our U.S. tax provision expense in future periods to be at a higher effective tax rate, which will reduce our net income (or loss) and earnings (or loss) per share by a greater amount than it has in the past.  However, we expect higher effective tax rates and tax provisions will result in non-cash U.S. income tax expense, as we will be able to utilize net operating losses to offset future cash taxes in the U.S. into the foreseeable future.
