COLUMBUS, Ohio (May 8, 2007) – Pinnacle Data Systems, Inc. (“PDSi”) (AMEX: PNS) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Michael R. Sayre, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We achieved solid growth in revenues for the first three months of 2007 compared to the same period last year. During the quarter we implemented specific plans to enhance our infrastructure, scale the business to operate more efficiently, and position PDSi to achieve sustained profitability. These actions are expected to contribute to improved results beginning in the second half of 2007”.
Mr. Sayre continued, “Consistent with our internal focus on improved capabilities and performance, we are embedding PDSi’s value proposition in our sales activities and market focus. This will help us identify those opportunities that are consistent with our growth strategy and long-term financial performance. We are currently reshaping our sales management and team to achieve these goals as we also respond to increased global demands for our products and services”.
First Quarter 2007
Total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 24% to $18.5 million from $15.0 million for the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to substantial product orders from one customer.
Gross profit was $3.4 million for the 2007 first quarter versus $2.8 million for the same period a year ago. Gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage of total sales, was 18.2% and 18.9% for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The year-over-year slight decline in gross profit margin was due to business mix and higher costs associated with product sales. The Company is actively seeking to reduce these production costs to improve its gross profit margin in future periods and continues to focus on customers who recognize and value the Company’s ability to meet their specialized product and service needs.
Operating expenses, which include selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense, were $3.9 million, or 21.1% of total sales, for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $3.5 million, or 23.6% of total sales, for the same period in 2006. The increase in operating expenses compared to the 2006 first quarter was due to additional staffing costs and professional services to support revenue growth in global markets.
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $(481,000), or $(0.08) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to a net loss of $(518,000), or $(0.09) per share, a year ago.
Additional First Quarter Operating Results
Product sales for the 2007 first quarter increased 29% to $16.1 million from $12.4 million for the same period in 2006. Overall, customer orders fluctuate from time to time in response to changes in their product lines and programs. The primary factor that contributed to the 2007 first quarter increase was an order from a customer in the imaging market, which ramped up in production during the second half of 2006. Gross profit on product sales was $2.6 million for the 2007 first quarter compared to $1.4 million the prior year. As a percent of total sales, gross profit margin on product sales rose to 16.2% for the 2007 first quarter from 10.9% for the 2006 first quarter.
Service sales were $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2007 versus $2.6 million for the same period last year. Gross profit margin on service sales declined to 31.3% for the 2007 first quarter from 57.7% for the same period last year due to business mix.
