Datawatch Corporation Reports Results for Third Quarter 2009
CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), a leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM) and Business Intelligence (BI), today announced results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $4,765,000, down by 17 percent when compared to $5,775,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 were $15,059,000, as compared to $17,715,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2008. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $275,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $91,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was $(5,194,000), or $(0.88) per diluted share, as compared to net income of $421,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $6.4 million related to the full impairment of its goodwill and an indefinite lived trademark. Excluding the effects of the goodwill and trademark impairment charge, net of tax, the Company’s net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 would have been $889,000, or $0.15 per diluted share.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $5,444,000 in net cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $998,000, or 22 percent, compared to June 30, 2008.
Commenting on the third quarter results, President and CEO Ken Bero said, “While the economy has continued to impact overall sales, the downward trend in U.S. Monarch sales we experienced in Q2 leveled off in Q3. International Monarch sales, however, saw a quarter on quarter decline. On the Enterprise side of the business, we successfully launched our new Service Management offering, Visual QSM for the Web. We are excited about this product’s potential and have already had several existing customers purchase Visual QSM upgrades in the United Kingdom and Australia. We continue to build momentum with our Enterprise Business Intelligence products. While the average deal size in Q3 vs. Q2 was lower, we completed more deals. Finally, we had stronger Q3 Services revenues. Comparisons to fiscal year 2008 revenues and expenses during the comparable period last year have continued to be impacted by the sustained weakness of the British Pound vs. the US dollar. The UK is our second largest market and the Pound has remained substantially below its last year’s value.”
“Income from operations, excluding the effects on last quarter for the goodwill and trademark impairment charge, was again solidly in the black,” added Bero. “Our performance on this score was positive; exceeding Q3 results as compared to a year ago on less revenue. The Company continues to improve its cash position and to carefully manage expenses. Datawatch has no debt on the balance sheet. During the quarter, we adjusted our headcount to meet the lower expected revenues. Finally, we continue to invest in our key product offerings; the lifeblood of our business. We believe that our business intelligence products are especially valuable to our customers as they help companies improve operational efficiencies in these difficult times. We believe that our solutions position us well during this turbulent period and for continued growth as the economy turns around.”
