Management Commentary

 

“We made several key advancements in the first quarter of 2015, such as adding plasma centers to our platform, entering the automotive market and signing a key reseller agreement to support our entry into that market,” said Arthur De Joya, Chief Financial Officer of 3PEA International. “Furthermore, the growth in programs on our PaySign Platform led to significantly higher gross margins when compared to the year ago quarter. We expect this trend to continue as we add programs to the platform. Looking ahead, we expect to add new pharmaceutical, automotive and plasma programs from new and existing customers, while expanding our geographical footprint and aggressively pursuing opportunities in new and existing markets in the U.S. and abroad.”

 

Q1 2015 Financial Results

 

Total revenues in the first quarter of 2015 were $1.6 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the non-occurrence of revenues associated with specific program life cycle events in the first quarter of 2015. Revenue from plasma donation card usage was impacted by seasonality normally seen in the first quarter.

 

Gross profit in the first quarter of 2015 increased to $0.6 million, or 34.6% of total revenues, compared to $0.5 million, or 19.9% of total revenues in the year-ago quarter. This improvement was attributable to higher margin revenue from new card programs introduced on the PaySign platform.

 

Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2015 were $1.0 million, compared to $0.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to our planned expansion in the European Union.

 

Net loss in the first quarter of 2015 was $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per basic share, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million, or $(0.00) per basic share in the year-ago quarter.

 

At March 31, 2015, the company’s cash balance totalled $2.2 million, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2014.
