HENDERSON, Nev.(BUSINESS WIRE) 3PEA International, Inc. (“3PEA” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: TPNL), a vertically integrated provider of innovative prepaid card programs and processing services for corporate, consumer and government applications, reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Q3 2015 Highlights
| ● | Revenues increased 19% to $2.0 million compared to $1.7 million in the same year ago quarter. |
| ● | Gross profit increased to $1.1 million, or 54.3% of total revenue, compared to $0.6 million, or 36.7% of total revenue, in the same year ago quarter. |
| ● | Net loss was $2.6 million, or $(0.06) per share, compared to net income of $31,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the same year ago quarter. The loss is primarily due to the legal settlement of $2.5 million, which the company recorded as a charge in the third quarter of 2015. |

Management Commentary
“The increase in revenue in the third quarter was a result of growth in our corporate incentive prepaid solutions, particularly in plasma donation payment services,” said Brian Polan, Chief Financial Officer of 3PEA International. “More importantly, we continue to experience significant gross margin expansion as a result of our growth in plasma donation payment services and the successful transition of our programs to the PaySign platform. Looking ahead, we expect to see additional gross margin improvement. We have developed a robust sales pipeline and remain focused on expanding our product offerings in new and existing markets.”

Q3 2015 Financial Results
Total revenues in the third quarter of 2015 increased 19% to $2.0 million, compared to $1.7 million in the same year ago quarter. This increase was primarily due to growth in plasma donation payment services.
Gross profit in the third quarter of 2015 increased to $1.1 million, or 54.3% of total revenues, compared to $0.6 million, or 36.7% of total revenues, in the year ago quarter. Our gross profit margins improved due to the launch of new card programs, the successful transition of existing card programs to our PaySign platform and growth in our plasma donation programs. We believe that our gross profit margins will continue to improve as we add new card programs to the PaySign Platform.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015, were $1.2 million, an increase of $0.7 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to expenses related to increased customer support staffing, expenses related to a legal settlement and our planned expansion in the European Union. The remaining increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to additional staffing in sales, finance and technology which was within expectations.
Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015, was $2.6 million, an increase of $2.5 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to a one time legal settlement of $2.5 million which the Company entered into on October 2, 2015, which was recorded as a charge as of September 30, 2015.
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2015, was $2.6 million, or $(0.06) per share, compared to net income of $31,077, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter. The decrease in net income is due to the abovementioned factors.
