“This has been the most transformative period in the history of the company, and I could not be more pleased with our execution. The acquisition of CynergisTek has had an immediate positive impact on our ability to compete for document workflow business and played a key role in our recently announced multi-million dollar contract win. Our ability to combine security with advanced document solutions and services is becoming a significant competitive advantage in the market,” commented Joseph J. Flynn, CEO. “While continuing to see some margin pressure in our document management solutions business in general, we are investing in ways technology can mitigate this impact while also leveraging the brand and expanding aggressively in higher margin areas, much like we are doing with security. We remain very excited about the future of both of these service offerings, and we believe that our ability to bundle these capabilities together will drive continued growth over time.”

Financial Results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016

For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported revenues of $16.2 million, an increase of 1% when compared to $16.1 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company’s services revenue decreased approximately $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 due to some reduction in cybersecurity professional services at Redspin. Equipment revenues in the fourth quarter were $2.0 million compared to approximately $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Cost of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $12.5 million, compared to $12.6 million in 2015. The Company incurred approximately $0.6 million less in staffing costs, including contract labor, and incurred approximately $0.4 million in additional service and supply costs, primarily as a result of new customers. Equipment costs increased by approximately $0.4 million, largely as a result of the increase in equipment revenues. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $3.7 million, or 23% of revenues, compared to $3.5 million or 22% of revenues, for the same period in 2015. The increase in gross margin is due to the maturation of previously announced new services contracts as well as seasonally strong fourth quarter services activity.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $2.4 million, flat from $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company incurred a $2.6 million impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to intangible assets and goodwill acquired with the Delphiis and Redspin acquisitions. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 18% due to greater marketing activities when compared to the same period in 2015. General and administrative expenses decreased 9% to $1.7 million attributed to a higher fourth quarter 2015 expenses related to costs from a reorganization and integration of the security businesses that were purchased.

Operating loss was $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to operating income of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, the decline largely being attributable to the $2.6 million impairment charge.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was $3.8 million, or $0.47 per basic share and $0.46 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, in the same period of 2015. Net Income was largely impacted by a tax benefit of $5.1 million related to the removal of a previously recorded valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets from NOL carryforwards given the increased likelihood they will be utilized.

Excluding $0.1 million in charges related to stock based compensation and $2.8 million in amortization and impairment of intangibles, the Company achieved adjusted income from operations of $1.5 million in fiscal 2016, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, compared to adjusted income from operations, after excluding charges of $0.1 million in stock based compensation and amortization of intangibles, of $1.2 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported revenues of $60.2 million, a decrease of 2% compared to $61.3 million reported in 2015. The Company added approximately $3.2 million of services revenue with net new recurring service revenue contracts being partially offset by reductions from existing customers related to pricing, sales volumes, and non-renewing contracts. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease of $4.2 million in equipment revenue, compared to the same period in 2015.

Cost of revenue was $47.9 million compared to $50.7 million in 2015 representing a decrease of 5% or $2.8 million. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $12.3 million, or 20% of revenues, compared to $10.6 million, or 17% of revenues, for the same period in 2015.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016, were $12.3 million, an increase of 28% from $9.6 million in the same period of 2015. When excluding the $2.6 million impairment charge, operating expenses were flat year over year. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by 3% to $2.7 million and general and administrative expenses increased 2% to $6.9 million.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $5.0 million, or $0.61 per basic share and $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, in the same period of 2015. As previously mentioned, net income for full year 2016 also includes a $5.1 million tax benefit related to the removal of a previously recorded deferred tax asset valuation allowance against our NOL carryforwards.

Excluding $0.2 million in charges related to stock based compensation and $3.2 million in amortization and impairment of intangibles, the Company achieved adjusted income from operations of $3.4 million in fiscal 2016, or $0.42 and $0.41 per basic and diluted share respectively, compared to adjusted income from operations, after excluding charges of $0.4 million related to stock based compensation and $0.5 million in amortization of intangibles, of $1.8 million, or $0.23 and $0.22 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had $6.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $5.8 million. The Company maintains a line of credit, which was recently amended and increased to $5 million with the acquisition of CynergisTek.
