Third Quarter Financial Results: 

Net revenues were $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $9.1 million for the same period last year, an increase of $369,000, or 4.0%. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 8.5% over the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Recurring revenue for the quarter was $7.9 million, or 83.5% of total revenue, an increase of $176,000, or 2.3%, as compared to $7.7 million, or 85.0% of net revenues, for the third quarter last year. Sequentially, recurring revenue increased $299,000, or 3.9%, as compared to $7.6 million, or 85.0% of net revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, primarily due to growth in SaaS and DaaS revenues. On a constant currency basis, recurring revenue increased 6.9% over the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Total Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue for the quarter was $3.2 million, an increase of $226,000, or 7.7%, year-over-year, and an increase of $127,000 or 4.2%, sequentially when compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2019. The increase in SaaS revenue over the prior year was primarily attributable to an 18.1% increase in Autopart Online (SaaS) revenue for the quarter to $1.5 million. On a constant currency basis, total SaaS revenue for the quarter increased by 13.0% over the same period in the prior fiscal year. 

Total Data as a Service (DaaS) revenue for the quarter was $2.5 million, a decrease of $32,000, or (1.3)%, year over year, and an increase of $96,000, or 4.0%, sequentially when compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, primarily due to seasonality. On a constant currency basis, DaaS revenue increased by 3.2% over the same in the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit for the quarter was $5.0 million, or 53.1% of net revenues, an increase of $60,000, or 1.2%, as compared to $5.0 million, or 54.6% of net revenues, for the same period in the prior fiscal year. 

Operating expenses for the quarter increased by $92,000 to $3.8 million, an increase of 2.5% as compared to $3.8 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily the result of increased R&D expenses due to additional resources focused on new initiatives and lower capitalized costs, partially offset by a reduction in G&A primarily due to timing of fees for professional services and annual incentive accruals. 

Operating income for the quarter decreased by $32,000, or 2.6%, to $1.2 million as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. 

Interest expense for the quarter decreased by $14,000, or 14.7%, to $81,000 as compared to $95,000 for the same period last year primarily due to reductions in the outstanding debt balance.

The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the utilization of US R&D credits taken in the prior year.

Net income for the quarter was $890,000, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net income of $1.2 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Total Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was $9.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 11.7%, year-over-year. The increase in the SaaS revenue was primarily attributable to a 3.5% increase in Autowork Online (SaaS) revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 to $4.9 million, and a 22.9% increase in Autopart Online (SaaS) revenue for the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 to $4.3 million.

Operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 increased by $724,000 to $11.5 million, an increase of 6.7% compared to $10.7 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily the result of increased R&D expenses due to additional resources focused on new initiatives and lower capitalized costs.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year, was primarily due to the lower US federal statutory rate effective January 1, 2018 as per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, tax benefits from equity compensation, and the revaluation of our net deferred tax assets at the lower US federal statutory rate and the one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings on our foreign subsidiaries in the prior year, as per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, partially offset by lower R&D tax credits.

Net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was $2.8 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Balance Sheet and Other Financial Highlights

• As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $5.1 million in cash after capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs of $570,000.
• As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $5.1 million of debt outstanding under its $11.5 million credit facility.
• Stockholders' equity increased 22.5% from $13.5 million at June 30, 2018 to $16.6 million at March 31, 2019.
• As of March 31, 2019, there were 12.6 million shares of common stock outstanding.

Business Outlook

The Company continues to expect fiscal year 2019 Adjusted EBITDA* to be in the range of $6.2 million to $6.7 million, on a constant currency basis. However, the timing and nature (perpetual vs. SaaS) of certain client opportunities may cause the revenue growth for fiscal year 2019 to fall short of the previously announced revenue growth guidance of 10%, on a constant currency basis. The Company also expects to invest approximately $7.0 million in Research and Development, including capitalized software development costs, on a constant currency basis.
