Industri-Matematik International Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End Results; Continued Gains in License Revenue New Internet Business Solution Cornerstone for Strategy
STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2000-- Industri-Matematik International Corp. (www.im.se and Nasdaq: IMIC), a recognized leader in customer-driven supply chain management solutions, today announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2000.
Revenues for the fourth quarter were $21.2 million, compared to $20.1 million for the same period in 1999. License revenue was $5.2 million versus $2.6 million a year earlier, and service and maintenance revenue was $15.5 million versus $17.1 million. The reported net loss for the three months ended April 30, 2000 was $2.7 million or $0.09 per share. A year earlier the company had a net loss of $11.6 million or $0.36 per share.
Revenues for fiscal year 2000 were $75.0 million, compared to $87.0 million for fiscal 1999. License revenue was $12.2 million, compared to $17.0 million in fiscal 1999. Reported net loss for fiscal 2000 was $22.8 million, or $0.72 per share, compared to a net loss of $35.3 million, or $1.09 per share a year earlier.
Stig Durlow, president and chief executive officer of Industri-Matematik, said that in the fourth quarter of the 2000 fiscal year Industri-Matematik made significant progress in both of its primary target markets, B2B enterprise solutions and Internet e-commerce.
"License revenues were up both in dollars and as a percent of revenue," Mr. Durlow said. "Also noteworthy is the fact that our wins in the quarter involved the whole spectrum of our product offerings: advanced order management and fulfillment, warehousing, CRM and a new solution package that combines fulfillment and customer relationship management for both B2B and B2C Internet businesses."
Significant events of the fourth quarter included:
- A large, multi-year B2B enterprise systems sale to the Sherwin
Williams company, a large manufacturer and retailer based in
Cleveland. Sherwin Williams Consumer Group will use
Industri-Matematik's VIVALDI(TM) software to streamline order
processing and fulfillment for its 2,400 retail stores and wide
range of consumer paint brands. Sherwin Williams will use several
components of the VIVALDI suite including advanced order
management, warehousing and customer relationship management. The
agreement also includes e-Replenishment(TM), a solution that
Industri-Matematik is offering jointly with IBM.
- A significant enterprise deal was signed with J. R. Hillebrand, a
German company that handles 30 percent of the world's
transportation and distribution of wines and spirits. Hillebrand
also will use multiple components of Industri-Matematik's VIVALDI
suite.
- Multiple sales of the company's new solution for B2B and B2C
Internet businesses. New customers for the integrated
eCRM/eFulfillment software include: FULLeCOM, a U.S.-based
provider of business-to-business and business-to-consumer
logistics services; Yellowrent.com, an e-business portal for
European vacation rentals; and CoShopper.com, a market aggregator
serving consumers and small businesses in Europe and Asia.
- The creation by Industri-Matematik of a new business unit focused
on providing an integrated eCRM/eFulfillment package to Internet
businesses.
Mr. Durlow said, "By creating a new business unit for eCRM/eFulfillment, Industri-Matematik will be able to focus on the different needs of its two primary market segments. The changes will impact sales, marketing and product development. The two markets have different characteristics and we are aligning our organization to reflect that. These changes will accelerate our ability to respond to rapidly changing market conditions, accelerate new product development efforts and increase sales and marketing effectiveness. The new solution for Internet businesses positions Industri-Matematik as a leader in the e-commerce revolution and is the cornerstone of our strategy."
Additionally, Durlow sees a change in the company's revenue model. "You will see our revenue base continue to shift from a pattern of a small number of very large deals each quarter to a more balanced mix of large and small deals along with repeat orders from existing customers," he said. "Traditionally, we have sold a large enterprise solution with a multi-million-dollar price tag. Over the past two years, we have been breaking this solution down into individual components such as advanced order management and adding and developing new components like warehousing and CRM. We now have a broader footprint of solutions tailored to the needs of different market segments. This increases our market appeal and potential customer base."
Components such as the VIVALDI Advanced Order Management, Warehouse Management and CRM will be targeted at large retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and third party logistics providers with fast-moving, high-volume, order fulfillment requirements. The new eFulfillment and eCRM solution will be targeted at B2B and B2C Internet businesses.
"We enter the new fiscal year with a new structure, new momentum in key market segments, and a positive outlook about the future of our business," said Durlow. "The restructuring implemented last year has brought our costs back in line and enabled us to move toward profitability without sacrificing important sales, marketing and product development initiatives. With cash balances and short-term investments in excess of $30 million at the end of fiscal year 2000, we have a strong balance sheet and the resources to continue extending our presence in the supply chain management and e-business marketplaces."
