Casino Data Systems Reports Profitable Quarter

LAS VEGAS, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Casino Data Systems (Nasdaq: CSDS - news) today reported its profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1999, its sixth consecutive profitable quarter.
Performance Overview
The Company reported total revenue of $22.8M for the current quarter, an increase of $7.0M over the preceding quarter and $11.1M over the same quarter of the prior year. Year-to-date revenue was $38.5M, an increase of $14.1M over the same period in the prior year.
Income from operations for the current quarter was $2.4M, compared with $183K in the preceding quarter and $121K in the same quarter of the prior year. Year-to-date income from operations was $2.6M compared with $230K for the same prior year period.
Net income for the current quarter was $1.9M compared with $192K in the preceding quarter and $364K in the same quarter of the prior year. Basic earnings per share were $.11 for the current quarter compared with $.01 for the preceding quarter and $.02 for the same quarter in the preceding year. For the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, net income was $2.1M and $684K, respectively, and basic earnings per share were $.12 and $.04, respectively.
The balance sheet remained strong as of June 30, 1999 with unrestricted and restricted cash and investments of $30.9M combined with zero long term debt.
''This is a record quarter for revenue. We are very proud of our employees. While we know that there are still improvements to be made, our overall performance as a team has been demonstrated,'' stated Lee Lemas, Chief Operating and Financial Officer. ''Our revenue growth was the result of the success of our Bandit Bingo game and Oasis Windows system. Our continued focus on increased efficiencies and accountability combined with stronger spending controls provided the basis for our improved profitability over the past year.''
Revenue
Revenue from systems and services was $8.2M for the current quarter, an increase of $1.3M over the preceding quarter and $2.6M over the same quarter of the prior year. Year-to-date systems and services revenue was $15.1M compared with $11.0M for the same prior year period. These increases are principally due to the continued strong sales of the Company's Windows* based product which became available for sale late in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Games revenue was $10.7M for the current quarter, an increase of $6.0M over the preceding quarter and $8.0M over the same quarter in the prior year. Year-to-date revenue from games was $15.4M compared with $5.3M for the same period in the prior year. These revenue increases are primarily due to strong sales of the Bandit(TM) Bingo game which was approved late in the first quarter of 1999 by the Nevada Gaming Commission. Additional jurisdictional approval was received from Gaming Laboratories Inc. late in the second quarter of 1999. Bingo is the first of the Company's high-end multimedia games on its Bandit platform.
Recurring revenue products produced $1.9M of revenue for the current quarter, a decrease of $248K from the preceding quarter and $138K from the same quarter in the prior year. Year-to-date revenue was $4.2M compared with $4.9M for the same period in the prior year. These decreases are the result of a decline in the number of operating units in service combined with lower levels of play.
Signs and meter revenue was $1.4M and $2.7M for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared with $846K and $2.2M for the same prior year periods, respectively. Revenue for the current quarter was $242K higher than the preceding quarter.
Revenue from the TurboPower Software subsidiary was $439K for the current quarter, compared with $740K for the preceding quarter and $455K for the same quarter in the prior year. Year-to-date revenue was $1.2M, an increase of $170K over the same prior year period.
''For the last six quarters we have executed to our strategic plan and have been focused on developing a tactical sensibility that has guided our performance,'' stated Steve Weiss, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. ''Over the upcoming quarters we will continue to stay focused as we build on the excitement that Bandit Bingo and Oasis Windows products have generated with our casino customers through additional product offerings.''
Gross Margin Percentage
Consolidated gross margin was 44% for the current quarter and preceding quarter, compared with 49% for the same quarter in the prior year. Year-to- date gross margin was 44% compared with 48% for the same prior year period. These decreases are primarily attributable to a sales mix more heavily weighted toward game sales, which generally have lower gross margins than the Company's other products.
Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current quarter of $5.3M increased $918K or 21% over the preceding quarter and $1.0M or 24% over the same quarter of the prior year. Year-to-date expenses were $9.8M compared with $8.7M for the same prior year period. These increases are principally due to increased legal costs and increased payroll expenses related to commissions.
Research and development expense for the current quarter of $1.2M decreased $72K from the preceding quarter and increased $535K over the same prior year period. Year-to-date research and development expense was $2.6M compared with $1.5M for the same period in the prior year. These fluctuations are principally due to changes in headcount.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the current quarter of $1.0M remained even with the preceding quarter and increased $450K over the same prior year period. Year-to-date depreciation and amortization expense was $2.1M, an increase of $847K over the prior year. This increase is primarily due to increased units on the Xtreme(TM) link.
