CEO Commentary

Jerry Chase, President and CEO of BSQUARE, commented, “Our results in the third quarter showed year-over-year improvements in financial performance and were the result of continued focus and execution on our core businesses. Revenue and profits were down on a sequential quarterly basis as a result of a very strong second quarter that included the effects of Microsoft fiscal year-end sales incentives. During the third quarter we made progress developing our new DataVTM IoT product and as a result made additional operational investments including expanded marketing initiatives and the hiring of additional sales personnel.”

Financial Commentary on Third Quarter 2015 Results (Compared to Second Quarter 2015)

 

Revenue from third-party software was $20.8 million, a decrease of 11% from $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, due primarily to Microsoft June 30 fiscal year-end sales incentives which positively impacted second quarter revenue.

 

Engineering services revenue was essentially flat at $5.2 million, while engineering services margin decreased by three percentage points to 26%.  The margin decrease resulted from higher than planned labor hours required on a large project.

 

The decrease in cash and investments of $0.1 million was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in third-party software fees payable, which reduced cash balances by more than the positive Adjusted EBITDAS contribution of $2.0 million. Days sales outstanding (DSO) increased to 54 days at September 30, 2015, from 47 days at June 30, 2015 and 49 days at December 31, 2014. The DSO increase is a result of extended payment terms granted to a Fortune 100 customer.

Nine Months 2015 Financial Highlights

 

Revenue was $81.6 million, a 16% increase compared to $70.3 million for the year-ago period, driven primarily by increased software revenue.

 

Net income was $5.0 million or $0.40 per share, a $4.0 million increase compared to net income of $0.9 million or $0.08 per share in the first nine months of 2014. Increased software revenue, higher margins and lower operating costs all contributed to this improvement.

 

Adjusted EBITDAS* was $6.6 million, an increase of $4.2 million compared to $2.4 million in the year-ago period.

Financial Commentary on September 30, 2015 YTD Results (compared to YTD 2014)

 

Revenue from third-party software was $63.9 million, a 19% increase from $53.9 million recorded in the prior year period, due to increased customer demand.

 

Third-party software gross profit was $9.6 million, a $2.4 million or 33% increase from $7.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to the 19% revenue increase, improved operational efficiencies, product mix and customer mix, contributing to an increase in gross margin percentage from 13% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 15% in the current year period.

Engineering services gross profit was $3.6 million, an increase of 9% from $3.3 million in the prior year period. The 2014 period marked the completion of a large hand-held terminal project in Japan resulting in the recognition of $478,000 of revenue and gross profit in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Proprietary software gross profit was $2.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million from $1.3 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to sales of our legacy software in the first quarter of 2015 that exceeded the historical trend combined with a relatively fixed cost of sales.

 

Operating expenses totaled $10.4 million, a decrease of $147,000 from $10.6 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the operational efficiencies and reduction in overhead costs implemented in late 2013 that were fully realized in the second half of 2014.

Outlook

Management currently has the following expectations for Q4 2015:

 

Total revenue will be in the range of $23 to $26 million;

 

Gross margin for services will continue in the mid-20% range;

 

Bookings and initial revenue from DataV;

 

Continued GAAP profitability; and

 

Accounts receivable balance is expected to continue to increase into early 2016 as we have selectively provided extended payment terms to a highly credit-worthy customer beginning mid-year 2015. We believe this new arrangement will leverage our strong cash position to improve our third-party gross margins and profitability. Our accounts receivable balance and DSO metrics will therefore increase, with a commensurate decrease in cash and/or short-term investments balances.

Adjusted EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAS is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation expense on fixed assets and amortization expense (including impairment) on intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash flows, as Adjusted EBITDAS is not defined by GAAP. However, BSQUARE regards Adjusted EBITDAS as a complement to net income and other GAAP financial performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow.
