FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Crossroads Systems Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2015 Financial Results
AUSTIN, Texas – March 5, 2015 – Crossroads Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDS), a global provider of data storage solutions, reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended January 31, 2015.
Revenue for fiscal Q1 2015 was $2.2 million, compared to $4.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $0.6 million decrease in custom development revenue as well as an expected decrease from our OEM SPHiNX product. Gross profit for fiscal Q1 2015 was $1.6 million, or 73 percent of total revenue, compared to $3.5 million or 85 percent of total revenue in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease is due to a change in the mix of products sold during the quarter.
Operating expenses for fiscal Q1 2015 decreased nine percent to $3.6 million, compared to $3.9 million in the same period a year ago.
Net loss available to common stockholders was $(2.4) million or $(0.15) loss per share, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders of $(3.5) million or $(0.28) loss per share in the same quarter a year ago.
At January 31, 2015, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $8.4 million compared to $4.9 million in the previous quarter.

Richard K. Coleman, Jr., President and CEO at Crossroads Systems, said, “Crossroads continues to take the actions necessary to maximize the value of our product and intellectual property assets. We made significant progress this quarter by delivering a rich set of product enhancements and strengthening our balance sheet. While we can’t predict the timing of the ultimate payoff from our intellectual property monetization efforts, we’re well down the path and confident of our strategy as well as the strength of our legal position.”
