FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NUMEREX REPORTS 2007 RESULTS WITH FOURTH QUARTER PRE-TAX INCOME OF $1.4 MILLION AND RECORD REVENUES FOR THE QUARTER AND FULL YEAR
Company further cements leadership position; sets new standard for data integrity
ATLANTA, February 28, 2008 - Numerex Corp. (NASDAQ: NMRX), a leading single source provider of solutions and services for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, today announced pre-tax income of $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and pre-tax income of $1.2 million for the full year of 2007. These results compare to a pre-tax loss of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 and pre-tax income of $1.2 million for the full year of 2006.
After recording a non-cash tax charge of $828,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 and a non-cash tax charge of $728,000 for the full year of 2007, net income was $553,000 and $440,000 for the same periods in 2007. The tax benefit recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the full year of 2006 was $3 million and resulted in net income of $1.8 million and $4.1 million for these comparable periods in 2006. The factors resulting in an effective 2007 tax rate of 62% are explained in detail below.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $0.04. This compares to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.14 and $0.13 for the fourth quarter of 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2007 in total were $0.03. This compares to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.33 and $0.32 respectively for 2006. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007, excluding stock based compensation expenses and outstanding warrants, (“non-GAAP income”) was $836,000 compared to $1.2 million for the same quarter in 2006 using the same non-GAAP income measurement as well as excluding both a goodwill impairment charge and the partial release of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance. Basic and diluted earnings per share using non-GAAP income would have been $0.06 for the fourth quarter of 2007. All non-GAAP information is reconciled in the Non-GAAP Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations table attached.

“2007 activities emphasized our commitment to the M2M industry and to our customers, whereby we took extraordinary steps to position Numerex for the next phase of its growth and to meet our customers’ demands and industry’s expectations,” said Stratton Nicolaides, chairman and CEO of Numerex. “We are particularly pleased that we met growth expectations and were profitable for the year while we significantly expanded our infrastructure and resources, successfully met the challenges of a major technology transition, introduced innovative new products and services, and worked towards Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and an ISO certification. We believe the challenges we faced in 2007 only served to cement our position as a market leader and partner of choice in the M2M industry. We have highlighted some of the key achievements in 2007:”
| · | Posted record revenues for the quarter of $22.7 million, reflecting year-over-year growth of 53% and sequential growth over third quarter of 42%. |
| · | Exceeded full year revenue estimates of $66 to $67 million for the full year, posting $68 million reflecting 29% top line growth in a full year-over-year comparison. |
| · | Increased service revenues by 35% for the full year and 82% for the fourth quarter year-over-year. |
| · | Met annual M2M growth targets for 2007, posting an increase for full year 2007 of 35%. |
| · | Record hardware sales of over 520,000 wireless units in 2007, which was an 85% increase over the total shipped in the prior year. |
| · | In addition at the end of 2007, there were over 450,000 network connections compared to 320,000 at the end of 2006, reflecting a connection growth rate of 41%. |
| · | Launched a successful strategic collaboration with an industry leader to provide nationwide wireless M2M network and technology services in support of an innovative solution for the real estate industry. |
| · | Expanded the Company’s suite of M2M products and services with the acquisition of the assets of Orbit One Communications, Inc, a provider of satellite M2M hardware and services, primarily to government and the emergency management services industry. |
| · | Launched several new products, including; |
-FastTrack, a turn key remote monitoring solution that enables integrators, enterprises and end users that have previously viewed M2M as too costly or complex for rapid deployment.
-The SX1, a new satellite tracking tag that will provide alert monitoring and GPS based tracking information to customers around the globe without the need for cellular networks, external power or close proximity to an RFID reader.
| · | Completed ISO 27001 certification requirements, becoming the first M2M company in North America to do so, which was announced earlier this year. |
| · | Won a number of awards including: |
-Being named as one of Georgia’s fastest growing technology companies by Deloitte & Touche
-Two Gold 2007 M2M Value Chain Awards in the Location Based Services and retail/hospitality categories.
Mr. Nicolaides continued, “We have once again raised the competitive bar in expected performance by an M2M company by significantly improving our network and technology service platforms, particularly our gateway infrastructure and data security. And, along those lines, we are pleased to note that Numerex was granted the prestigious ISO 27001 certification for our M2M infrastructure and network. We are the first North American M2M industry participant to receive this designation which clearly indicates to both our current customers and future prospects that our network services meet or beat industry wide data security standards.”
Financial Results
Net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $22.7 million compared to $14.8 million reported for same quarter last year, representing 53% year over year growth. For the full year of 2007, revenues grew from $52.8 million to $68 million, exceeding the 2007 revenue guidance which ranged from $66 to $67 million. Revenues increased 42% sequentially from $16 million in the third quarter of 2007 and were partly driven by strong hardware sales and satellite messaging revenues recorded at the end of the calendar year in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals that require recognition of revenue as customer contracts expire.
Wireless M2M revenues were $21.3 million compared to $13.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $14.8 million for the third quarter of 2007. This increase in revenues compared to the same quarter last year is attributable to strong performances across many of the Company’s wireless business units. In particular, the wireless modules shipped to an industry leader for their door entry control product used by real estate agents and brokers. These modules were a significant revenue contributor in the fourth quarter of 2007 and will generate recurring network service revenues in successive quarters once the finished product is activated on the Numerex network. In addition, the wireless category also includes the Company’s satellite based asset tracking business acquired in July earlier this year which generated revenues of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. For the full year, total M2M revenues increased over 35% compared to 2006. Numerex’ wireless M2M business comprised 96% of total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 as that segment of our business continues to grow strongly. The legacy business units contributed less than 8% of total revenue in 2007 and are managed for cash flow contribution.
Gross margins for the fourth quarter and full year of 2007 were 35.1% and 34.4% respectively. These are contrasted with 34.8% and 36.1% for the comparable periods in 2006. Gross margins in the third quarter of 2007 were 33.5%. As previously reported, the relative mix of hardware compared to service revenues drives overall gross margins since these two categories yield distinctly different gross
margins. In the fourth quarter of 2007 both categories showed strong growth compared to the prior sequential quarter but the hardware
growth rate of 36% was eclipsed by the service growth rate of 52% which led to improved overall gross margins. For the full year of 2007, gross margins slightly declined mainly as a result of changing the pricing model in the wireless security segment to secure network connections and long-term recurring revenues at the expense of short term hardware margins. This decline is expected to be transitory since hardware cost reductions have already largely mitigated any pricing actions.
Operating expenses were $6.2 million for the current quarter compared to $4.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2006 excluding a goodwill impairment charge of $2.1 million. Operating expenses for the current year were $20.9 million compared to $15.3 million in 2006. Several factors led to an increase in annual operating expenses including additional headcount for the core wireless units, overheads as a result of the acquisition of Orbit One, over $1 million of internal and external costs incurred with regard to the first year of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and additional amortization charges. In addition, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R) the Company recorded non-cash stock option compensation costs of $283,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to $159,000 in the same quarter in 2006 and $942,000 for 2007 in total compared to $464,000 for the prior year.
As previously reported, in 2006, the Company recorded an income tax benefit as a result of its reversal of a portion of its tax valuation allowance. The Company recorded a tax provision in 2007 that approximated to 62% of pre-tax income. This provision reflects the Company’s historic use of incentive stock options (which are expensed for financial reporting purposes, but are generally not tax deductible) and the application of FIN 48 for state income taxes. The effective tax rate excluding these two items would be 35%. To the extent that any of the incentive stock options are exercised after being expensed for financial reporting purposes, there will be a tax benefit in subsequent periods. The Company also anticipates that it generally will stop granting incentive stock options in future periods. In addition, a state income tax audit or settlement may be less than estimates made in accordance with FIN 48 resulting in a reduction of future overall tax charges. The Company does not expect to have to make significant cash payments for income taxes until all net operating loss carry forwards are utilized.
Key balance sheet metrics at December 31, 2007 include:
| · | Total cash of $7.4 million compared to $10 million at the end of September 2007 and $20.4 million at December 31, 2006. As anticipated, cash was used for the acquisition of the satellite tracking unit, the purchase of additional inventory as well as increased accounts receivable. |
| · | Inventory increased substantially during 2007 driven primarily by two factors. The first is the higher hold levels of wireless security hardware in preparation for the analog network sunset date in February 2008. Year to date sales in 2008 have already exceeded these hold levels and additional hardware has been received to meet strong ongoing demand. |
| · | Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), which are calculated by reference to monthly sales, were 60 days, the same as at the end of December 2006. The Company believes that it has adequate reserves against doubtful accounts. |
Mr. Nicolaides concluded, “As a result of continued strength in our M2M solutions and network services, another strong year is expected and we anticipate M2M revenues will again grow in the range of 30% to 40%, with net revenues in the $84 to $90 million range.”
