“The results of the fourth quarter and full-year 2005 demonstrate clearly that our strategies are working,” said Ken Hunt, VASCO’s CEO and Chairman. “Our strategy of being the high-volume, high-quality, low-cost producer is clearly paying off as our unit volume for the quarter exceeded our nearest competitor by approximately 900,000 units, or 60%. Efficiencies created by our operating model were also strongly evident as our operating earnings, as a percentage of revenue, were 24% for the quarter and 20% for the full-year. As we look forward, I believe our vision of being the full-option, all-terrain authentication company will serve our customers well and maintain our market leading position.”
“The fourth quarter in each of the last two years has reflected important changes in our business,” said Jan Valcke, VASCO's President and COO. “Last year, the fourth quarter showed a significant increase in unit volume as the demand for consumer level authentication increased substantially. In the fourth quarter of this year, we saw a higher sense of urgency from our customers as the time lag between placing an order and the delivery of the product became shorter. In the fourth quarter of this year, we sold and delivered approximately $4.8 million of new business from October 27th, the date that we announced our backlog for the quarter, through the end of the quarter. We have also seen continuing strong demand through the 2005 holiday season and into 2006. Our current backlog for orders to be shipped in Q1 2006 is $12.8 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 20% from the backlog for Q1 2005. The current backlog is $1.4 million or 12% higher than our results for the full first quarter of 2005.”
Cliff Bown, Executive Vice President and CFO added, “Our balance sheet continues to strengthen as a result of the strong operating performance. Net cash balances, cash and cash equivalents less bank borrowings, increased $4,698,000 or 51% from September 30, 2005 and our working capital increased by $3,504,000 or 27% from September 30, 2005. At December 31, 2005 our working capital balance was $16,325,000. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) in net accounts receivable increased to approximately 63 days at December 31, 2005 from 59 days at September 30, 2005 due in large part to the significant amount of shipments in the month of December.”
