MINNEAPOLIS, MN — April 30, 2014 — Insignia Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISIG) (“Insignia” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter (“Q1”) ended March 31, 2014, as compared to Q1 ended March 31, 2013.

Insignia’s President and CEO Glen Dall commented, “In the same way that results in Q1 2013 benefited from an early Easter holiday, our results for Q1 2014 were negatively influenced by that holiday falling a full three weeks later this year.  However, our business is trending positively and we remain optimistic for the balance of the year.  On a trailing twelve-month basis ended March 31, 2014, net sales increased 13.6% to $26.8 million from $23.6 million in the comparable prior year period.  Additionally, as of April 28, 2014, our total backlog is up approximately 10% from the same time a year ago.

“We continue to pursue new, innovative ways to serve our clients and retailers with products and services that leverage our operating assets and core competencies. We are evaluating new business opportunities that can strengthen our ability to expand our geographic footprint, and attract new customers.  Additionally, we are exploring new opportunities to expand our retail presence beyond grocery stores to other mass retailers.

Mr. Dall concluded, “Finally, as you may have seen in our recent proxy statement, Peter Derycz will be leaving our board effective May 21, 2014, in conjunction with our board term limit of eight years. I would like to thank Peter for his dedicated service on our board and his significant commitment to the success of our Company during his time with us.”

Q1 2014 Results

Q1 2014 total net sales decreased 13.4% to $6,403,000 from $7,396,000 in Q1 2013, due primarily to seasonality.  A 14.6% decline in POPS net sales to $5,951,000 from $6,967,000 in Q1 2013 was partially offset by a 5.4% increase in products net sales to $452,000 from $429,000 in Q1 2013.

Gross profit in Q1 2014 decreased to $2,683,000, or 41.9% of total net sales, from $3,536,000, or 47.8% of total net sales, in Q1 2013. Lower gross profit and gross profit margin was largely the result of lower net sales and program mix as compared to the 2013 period.

Selling expenses in Q1 2014 were $1,351,000, or 21.1% of total net sales, as compared to $1,395,000, or 18.9% of total net sales, in Q1 2013, due primarily to lower sales and the resulting commissions on those sales.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $930,000, or 14.5% of total net sales, from $956,000, or 12.9% of total net sales, in Q1 2013. This decrease was primarily the result of decreased compensation-related expenses.

Operating income for Q1 2014 decreased to $167,000 from operating income of $976,000 in Q1 2013.

Income tax expense for Q1 2014 was 33.5% of pretax income, or $58,000, compared to income tax expense of 57.3% of pretax income, or $563,000, in Q1 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily the result of the tax benefit of disqualifying dispositions of stock options. Tax expense will vary between periods, given the Company’s policy of reassessing the annual effective rate on a quarterly basis, as well as the impact of any discrete tax items in the quarter.

As a result, net income for Q1 2014 decreased to $115,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, from net income of $420,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in Q1 2013.

Insignia’s CFO John Gonsior stated, “Our balance sheet remains strong, with $20.3 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014, down from cash and cash equivalents of $21.8 million as of December 31, 2013, which was mainly due to the timing of collections on accounts receivable and the payment of various current liabilities. As of March 31, 2014, we had nearly $22.4 million in working capital, compared to working capital of $22.2 million as of December 31, 2013.

Share Repurchase Plan

As previously announced, Insignia’s Board of Directors approved a Stock Repurchase Plan authorizing the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of the Company’s common stock, from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions until December 3, 2015. No purchases were made in Q1 2014.
