"This achievement is more evidence that our strategy of returning the company to significant growth is working well, as it’s the first quarter in more than eight years that a fiscal first quarter - our big seasonal quarter - had revenue greater than the comparable quarter of the prior year,” said Andy Wood, President and CEO of PhotoWorks. “That fact, combined with our increase in order sizes and volumes in high margin products, such as photo books, cards, calendars and keepsakes, demonstrate the success of PhotoWorks’ philosophy of giving customers new, more sophisticated and creative ways to express themselves, indulge their passions and preserve their digital memories.”
For the 1st quarter for 2007:
Digital revenue totaled $3.3 million, an increase of 44% from $2.3 million in the 1st quarter of 2006. Traditional film processing revenue totaled $933,000, a 43.1% decline from $1.6 million. Total net revenue of $4.3 million was up by almost 8% over the same quarter last year, when net revenue totaled $4.0 Million.
More than 83% of PhotoWorks’ revenue was driven from the sale of non-print products, such as customer created books, cards and calendars. In addition, average dollars per customer was $65.28 and average dollars per order was $42.73.
The Company reported a net loss of $2.3 million compared to a net loss of $328,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The majority of the loss reported for the 1st quarter of 2007 was due to a non-recurring, non-cash beneficial conversion of $1.8 million as a consequence of a bridge note converting to stock during the quarter.
