American Medical Alert Corp. Issues
Guidance for Fiscal
2010 and 2011
Oceanside
NY–August 11, 2010 American Medical Alert Corp. (NASDAQ: AMAC) announced its
guidance for 2010 and longer term outlook for 2011. The Company projects that
gross revenues, consisting primarily of monthly recurring revenue (MRR), will
increase by approximately 3% to $40,500,000 for 2010 as compared to
2009. The Company is also projecting that gross revenues will
increase from 8% to 11% in 2011 as compared to projected 2010
results. The Company believes starting with the third quarter of
2010, revenues, within both segments, will increase at a greater pace over the
next eighteen months.
As a
result of the Company’s plan to increase advertising expenditures by
approximately $450,000 to $600,000, net of taxes, as compared to 2009, as part
of a comprehensive plan to drive an accelerated pace of new revenue growth, the
Company is projecting net income ranging from $2,850,000 to $3,000,000, or $0.29
to $0.31 per diluted share based on the fully diluted shares as of June 30,
2010, for the year ending December 31, 2010. The net income projection excludes
the impact of the net loss allocated to the Company in relation to its minority
investment in Lifecomm, LLC, a joint venture with Qualcomm, Inc. and Hughes
Telematics, Inc, as discussed below (the “Lifecomm Joint Venture”).
The
Company is projecting net income ranging from $3,550,000 - $3,850,000, or $0.36
to $0.39 per diluted share based on the fully diluted shares as of June 30,
2010, for the year ending December 31, 2011. As part of this projection, the
Company has forecast to spend from $600,000 to $900,000, net of taxes, in
advertising dollars to continue its efforts to drive accelerated revenue growth.
This net income calculation also excludes the impact of the net loss allocated
to the Company on connection with the Lifecomm Joint Venture.
During
2010, as previously announced, the Company made an investment into the Lifecomm
Joint Venture, which was formed as a limited liability company, for the
development of the next generation mobile PERS. The Company anticipates it will
continue to be allocated net losses from the Lifecomm Joint Venture until the
product is completed and commercialized. In accordance with accounting rules and
regulations, the Company is required to record its portion of net income or net
loss associated with the Lifecomm Joint Venture. The Company
estimates its share of the net loss after taxes for 2010 to range from $960,000
to $1,050,000. The Company’s projected net income for 2010 after
taking into effect this charge would range from $1,800,000 to $2,040,000, or
$0.18 to $0.21 per diluted share based on the fully diluted shares as of June
30, 2010. The 2011 projection also excludes the Company’s portion of
the net income (loss) associated with the Lifecomm Joint Venture, which the
Company estimates to range from $1,350,000 to $1,440,000. The
projected net income for 2011 after taking into effect this charge would range
from $2,110,000 to $2,500,000, or $0.21 to $0.25 per diluted share based on the
fully diluted shares as of June 30, 2010.
As a
result of these projected charges, the Company would realize a tax benefit of
$640,000 to $700,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and $900,000 to
$960,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. This cash savings from the tax
benefit will be utilized to further
support the cash requirements of our aggressive business development expansion
and to fund potential acquisitions.
Additionally,
once the next generation mobile PERS is completed and commercialized, it is
anticipated that the Lifecomm Joint Venture will begin to become profitable and
the Company’s net income will be enhanced by its portion of the joint venture
profits.
Commencing
in the second quarter of 2010, the Company will report net income before and
after the impact of the Lifecomm Joint Venture, to better illustrate the results
from operations of itscore business.
As
previously announced, the Company will host a webcast on Wednesday, August 11,
2010 to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010,
guidance for fiscal 2010, longer term outlook for 2011, and other business
trends. The Company invites investors and others to listen to the
