FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – LOS ANGELES, CA, SEPTEMBER 16, 2015
POINT.360 ANNOUNCES FOURTH FISCAL QUARTER AND TWELVE MONTH RESULTS
Point.360 (OTCQX: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2015, including sales of $5.8 million for the three months, resulting in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (EBITDAN*) of $0.4 million for the period. The net loss for the three-month period was $0.1 million.
Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer said: “Fourth quarter revenues increased almost 10% over the third quarter of fiscal 2015. EBITDAN* improved approximately $0.4 million when compared to the prior quarter due to the added revenues and our cost saving efforts.”
Mr. Bagerdjian continued: “On July 8, we completed the purchase of the assets of Modern VideoFilm resulting in added facilities, an increased customer base and expanded service offerings. Consideration for the purchase consisted of Point.360 common shares and warrants. We simultaneously established a relationship with Medley Capital Corporation which provided Point.360 with a $6 million five-year term loan to fund transition costs and provide expansion capital. Since the closing, Modern’s sales have about equaled those of Point.360 on a monthly basis. While transition and integration costs will affect results in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2016, we believe benefits afforded by the addition of Modern’s capabilities will enable future profitable growth.”
Revenues
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 totaled $5.8 million compared to $6.5 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the Twelve months ended June 30, 2015 were $21.6 million compared to $25.7 million last year. Declines were due primarily to lower orders by a major customer, and our decision in the second quarter of the last fiscal year to terminate our inconsistent computer graphics business.
Gross Margin
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, gross margin was $2.6 million (44% of revenues), compared to $2.3 million (36% of revenues) in the prior year’s quarter. For the twelve months of fiscal 2015, gross margins were $7.4 million (34% of revenues), compared to $8.4 million, (33% of revenues) in last year’s period.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) and Other Expenses
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, SG&A expenses were $2.6 million, or 45% of revenues, compared to $2.7 million, or 41% of revenues, in the fourth quarter of last year. For the current twelve month period, SG&A expenses were $10.3 million (48% of revenues), compared to $11.3 million (44% of revenues) last year.
Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.3 million in the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million in last year’s three and twelve month periods, respectively.
Other income in the fiscal 2015 three and twelve month periods includes sublease income. In the fiscal 2014 twelve month period, other income includes $0.3 million from the settlement of a lawsuit.
