Friday, November 14, 2014
SEATTLE, Washington — November 14, 2014 —BluePhoenix Solutions Ltd. (NASDAQ: BPHX) today announced third quarter 2014 results with revenue of $1.6M and operating loss of ($895K).
On a non-GAAP basis, operating expenses for third quarter 2014 were $1.3M which was $545K favorable versus prior year. Non-GAAP operating loss for third quarter 2014 was ($729K) which was ($134K) unfavorable compared to prior quarter. Included in the operating expenses are costs of $150K related to our anticipated merger with Sophisticated Business Systems, Inc., or Ateras. Without these costs, we would have non-GAAP operating loss of ($579K) which is $16K favorable versus prior quarter and $315K favorable versus prior year.
Matt Bell, BluePhoenix’s Chief Executive Office and President, commented, “We are excited about our anticipated merger with Ateras, which is expected to close shortly after the shareholder vote on November 18. The combined entity not only makes us bigger and serves a more global market but it broadens our technology and solution set. The combined companies have synergies that we're excited to leverage as soon as the deal is officially closed.”
