MORRISVILLE, North Carolina, August 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Issuer Direct Corporation (ISDR), a market leader and innovator of disclosure management systems and cloud–based compliance technologies, today reported its operating results for the second quarter and first half of 2012. Additionally, the Company anticipates filing its quarterly report on form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission before market close today.

Company reports revenue of $1,108,439 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
  
Gross margins increase to 63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared with 60% in the second quarter of 2011.
  
Company achieves Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 of $248,796, or $0.12 per share.

Financial Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, Issuer Direct reported revenue of $1,108,439, compared with $1,103,871 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased to $698,998, versus $666,756 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Overall gross margins increased to 63% of revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared with 60% in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Gross margins for compliance and reporting services, which include XBRL service offerings, increased to 69% of revenue in the most recent quarter, versus 66% in the second quarter of 2011.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company incurred approximately $126,000 in costs associated with salaries and stock-based compensation for five former employees and consultants of SEC Compliance Services (acquired in January 2012), of which $49,000 was non-recurring in nature. In total, the Company recorded non-cash stock compensation expense of $184,597 in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared with $24,244 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Primarily due to these factors, net income decreased to $35,949, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared with $300,218, or $0.17 per share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, Issuer Direct reported revenue of $1,905,034, compared with $1,617,427 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Gross profit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 increased to $1,138,899, versus $948,216 in the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The Company recorded a net loss of $20,987, or $0.01 per share, during the first half of 2012, compared with net income of $274,436, or $0.16 per share, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

Non-GAAP results

The Company generated non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 of $248,796 or $0.12 per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $329,962, or $0.19 per share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  The Company generated non-GAAP net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 of $302,039 or $0.16 per share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $328,360, or $0.19 per share, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Adjustments from GAAP to non-GAAP during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 primarily involved the amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions and stock-based compensation (see detail in table at end of this release).

“We have worked hard during the first half of the year to even out our revenues in our disclosure reporting business,” noted Wes Pollard, Chief Financial Officer of Issuer Direct Corporation. “During the second quarter of 2011, our revenues derived from XBRL were not recurring in nature, as they were comprised primarily of project-based fees related to the initial implementation of XBRL by our clients.  In contrast, the majority of our XBRL second quarter 2012 revenues were from recurring contracts and thus provide for a steady revenue stream that is much more predictable for us to forecast.”
 
 
 

 
 
Business Outlook
 
"We are taking a cautious but aggressive approach to our outlook for the second half of 2012 given the competitiveness we are seeing in the disclosure reporting segment of our business,” said Brian R. Balbirnie, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  “We expect to end the year with increases in all of our revenue streams, resulting in continued non-GAAP profit growth."
 
 
“We have accelerated our plans to expand our XBRL reporting business beyond current SEC requirements into other areas where XBRL can be equally as beneficial, such as cloud-based accounting and tax reporting,” continued Balbirnie. “We have also made significant improvements in our technologies and will continue to do so as our business model progresses.”
 
Non-GAAP Information

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. In the calculation of these measures, the Company generally excludes certain items such as amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and unusual, non-recurring gains and charges. The Company believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in the Company's operating expenditures and continuing operations. Management uses such non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and manage operations. The release and the attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered a substitute for the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
