Lattice Announces Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Results

 

Conference call today, Thursday, April 14 at 2:00 p.m. ET

 

PENNSAUKEN, NJ, April 14, 2015 (Marketwire) -- Lattice Incorporated (OTCQB: LTTC) (“Lattice” or the “Company”), a cloud-solutions provider of inmate management network systems for correction facilities, announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

2015 Highlights:

 

·Direct call provisioning revenue increased 26% compared to fiscal year 2014
·Average revenue per inmate is over $800, versus industry average of $515 per inmate
·Recurring revenues accounted for 66% of total revenue, up from 60% in the prior year

 

“We continued to build our base of direct service revenue in 2015, and with the launch of innovative new products, we believe we are well positioned for growth in 2016,” said Paul Burgess, CEO of Lattice. “We anticipate the addition of new cutting-edge products such as our video arraignment solution, launched in the second quarter, and our CellMate™ mobile platform, launched in the third quarter of 2015, will separate us from the competition as we enter new markets, both domestically and internationally.”

 

Burgess continued, “After identifying eight states for our domestic expansion in 2014, we hit the ground running and have already obtained certification to provide communications services in five of these eight new states. By offering a robust suite of services for small- to mid-sized correctional facilities, we believe we can replicate the success we’ve seen in markets such as Oklahoma, where we now service approximately 50% of our addressable market.”

 

Total revenue decreased 15% to $7.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2015, down from $8.9 million in the prior year, due to lower technology sales and the termination of wholesale service revenue in the prior year. The lower technology sales were due to variations in the level of shipments period to period. The lower wholesale revenue was in line with the Company’s strategic focus on growing its higher-margin direct service revenue.

 

Gross margin, as a percentage of revenues, decreased slightly to 38% from 40% in 2014. The gross margin for wholesaled technology products were consistent with historical levels at approximately 60% on average. Gross margin for service revenues increased to 29%, up from 25% in the prior year as Lattice shifted away from lower margin wholesale services in 2014.

 

Additional information may be found in the Company's 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
