Genasys™ Inc. Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

 

SAN DIEGO, CA February 10, 2020 Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), a leading critical communications company, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2019.

 

Fiscal First Quarter 2020 Financial Summary

 

Fiscal 2020 first quarter revenues were $8.8 million, compared with $10.2 million in the same period last year.

 

Gross profit margin was 52.4%, compared with 50.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The improved gross margin was due primarily to a more favorable mix of product sales.

 

Operating expenses were $3.9 million, up slightly from $3.8 million in the same period last year.

 

Net income for the quarter was $0.62 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.1 million on December 31, 2019, compared with $18.8 million on September 30, 2018.

 

Working capital totaled $25.8 million on December 31, 2019, compared with $24.8 million on September 30, 2019.

 

“Revenues for the fiscal first quarter were in line with fiscal year 2020 first half expectations,” said Richard S. Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys Inc. “Bookings and backlog for the quarter were $4.3 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The strong backlog and continued sales pipeline growth in both our acoustic hailing device and public safety mass notification (PSMN) business segments have Genasys well-positioned for another strong year.”

 

Select Fiscal First Quarter 2020 Operating and Business Highlights

 

 

Rebranded the Company as Genasys Inc. in October 2019 to reflect our broader commitment to critical communications in all of the Company’s diverse market applications

 

 

 

 

 

Appointed AtHoc co-founder, Ly Tran, as a strategic advisor to the Company

 

 

Called on the California legislature and governor to fund public safety technology

 

 

Awarded $1.4 million in PSMN orders from Laguna Beach and Newport Beach, CA

 

“We expect fiscal 2020 to be another strong year with revenues weighted 40% in the first six months and 60% in the second half. The substantial increase in interest from European Union member nations, the Asia Pacific and other regions in our PSMN integrated solutions and National Emergency Warning System software is expected to result in formal requests for proposals this fiscal year,” continued Mr. Danforth. “Significant domestic and international defense and homeland security orders from the U.S. Military, Europe, Latin American and the Asia Pacific are also anticipated in fiscal 2020.”

 

We include in this press release Non-GAAP operational metrics of bookings and backlog, which we believe provide helpful information to investors with respect to evaluating the Company’s performance. We consider bookings and backlog as leading indicators of future revenues and use these metrics to support production planning. Bookings is an internal, operational metric that measures the total dollar value of customer purchase orders executed in a period, regardless of the timing of the related revenue recognition. Backlog is a measure of purchase orders received that have not been shipped, but are planned to ship within the next 12 months.
