Financial Commentary on Second Quarter 2015 Results (Compared to First Quarter 2015)
● | Revenue from third-party software was $23.3 million, an increase of 18% from $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2015, due to strong customer demand and Microsoft fiscal year-end incentives. |
● | The decrease in proprietary software margin, down 31% or 29 percentage points, resulted from sales of BSQUARE legacy software in the first quarter that exceeded the historical trend, combined with a relatively fixed cost of sales. |
● | The increases in engineering services revenue, up $720,000 or 16%, and in engineering services margin, up 71% or 12 percentage points, were due primarily to increased utilization percentages combined with higher average billable rates. |
● | The increase in cash and investments of $2.8 million was due to Adjusted EBITDAS contribution of $2.3 million, combined with the timing of cash collections and accrued liability payments. Days sales outstanding (DSO) remained relatively consistent at 49 days at June 30, 2015, compared to 47 days at March 31, 2015 and 49 days at December 31, 2014. |
First Half 2015 Financial Highlights
● | Revenue was $55.1 million, a 20% increase compared to $45.8 million for the year-ago period, driven by increased software revenue. |
● | Net income was $3.7 million or $0.30 per share, a $3.5 million increase compared to net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 per share in the first six months of 2014. Increased software revenue, higher margins and lower operating costs all contributed to this improvement. |
● | Adjusted EBITDAS* was $4.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million compared to $1.3 million in the year-ago period. |

Financial Commentary on First Half 2015 Results (compared to First Half 2014)
● | Revenue from third-party software was $43.1 million, a 24% increase from $34.7 million recorded in the prior year period, due to strong customer demand and Microsoft fiscal year-end incentives. |
● | Third-party gross profit was $6.4 million, a $1.8 million or 39% increase from $4.6 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to the 24% revenue increase and improved operational efficiencies, product mix and customer mix, contributing to an increase in gross margin percentage from 13% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 15% in the current year period. |

● | Proprietary software gross profit was $2.1 million, an increase of $1.2 million from $0.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to sales of our legacy software in the first quarter of 2015 that exceeded the historical trend combined with a relatively fixed cost of sales. |
● | Operating expenses totaled $6.9 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from $7.3 million in the prior year period. This decrease was due to the operational efficiencies and reduction in overhead costs implemented in late 2013 that were fully realized in the second half of 2014. |
Outlook
Management currently has the following expectations for Q3 2015:
● | Total revenue will be in the range of $26 to $28 million; |
● | Third-party software revenue will be lower in the second half of 2015 due to Microsoft year-end incentives in the second quarter; |
● | Gross margin for services will be in the mid 20% range; |
● | Operating expenses will increase as we continue to focus on our IoT initiatives; |
● | Continued GAAP profitability; and |
● | Accounts receivable balance is expected to increase during the third quarter and continue to grow for the balance of 2015 as we have selectively provided extended payment terms to a highly credit-worthy customer. Management believes this new arrangement will leverage our strong cash position to improve our third-party gross margins and profitability. Our accounts receivable balance and DSO metrics will therefore grow, with a commensurate decrease in cash and/or short-term investments balances. |

(1) | Adjusted EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAS is defined as operating income (loss) before depreciation expense on fixed assets and amortization expense (including impairment) on intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDAS should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (all as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position and cash flows, as Adjusted EBITDAS is not defined by GAAP. However, the Company regards Adjusted EBITDAS as a complement to net income and other GAAP financial performance measures, including an indirect measure of operating cash flow. |
