Friday January 25, 9:00 am ET
Gross Margins and Revenue Continue to Improve!
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Concurrent (Nasdaq: CCUR - News), a worldwide leader of on-demand technology and real-time computing technology, today announced its results for the second quarter of its fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
Second Quarter Results:
In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, company-wide revenue aggregated $17.6 million compared to $16.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of 8% over the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and an increase of 3% over the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenue from Concurrent’s on-demand product line totaled $9.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $10.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of 5%. Revenue from the Company’s real-time product line totaled $8.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $6.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of 29%. The variability in quarter to quarter revenue is due to the timing of large customer orders within each fiscal year.
Consolidated gross margins increased for the second consecutive quarter to 54% compared to 53% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The operating loss also improved to ($847,000) in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from an operating loss of ($1.8 million) in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, which includes depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.0 million and share-based compensation of $339,000, was ($769,000), or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of $1.7 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included approximately $3.3 million in net proceeds from the settlement of two legal matters in that quarter.
Cash at December 31, 2007 totaled $23.1 million compared to $20.4 million at the end of fiscal 2007, an increase of $2.7 million. The increase was primarily the result of the $3.3 million in net proceeds from legal settlements in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
“Given the typical challenges of a calendar year end quarter, I am pleased that we were able to improve revenues and gross margins. On revenue of $17.6 million, we had an operating loss of $847,000, our lowest operating loss in over 2 years, which includes over $1.3 million in non-cash items,” said Gary Trimm, Concurrent president and chief executive officer. He added, “We have an improved operating model now and we will continue efforts to achieve even more efficiency. Revenue growth is the top priority. We are adding sales and marketing resources in our traditional business areas and in new initiatives such as the StorageMaster product line announced yesterday. The growth in our Real-Time business this quarter is evidence that this effort is working. We believe the VOD market will be strong in 2008 and that our industry leading MediaHawk 4500 system will continue to capture a significant share of the opportunities. In VOD particularly we see a trend toward larger projects similar to our recent wins at Cox in Arizona and Brighthouse in Tampa and Orlando. This could make quarterly revenues highly variable, but we believe the last half our fiscal year will be stronger.”
Concurrent Computer Corporation will hold a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, January 25, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T., which will be broadcast live over the Internet on the company’s web page at www.ccur.com, Investor Relations page.
