Numerex Reschedules Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Financial Results Conference Call
Announces Fourth Quarter 2012 Subscriptions and Provides 2013 Guidance
ATLANTA, GA March 11, 2013—Numerex Corp (NASDAQ:NMRX), a leading provider of on-demand and interactive machine-to-machine (M2M) enterprise solutions announced today that it has rescheduled its fourth quarter and full year 2012 conference call to March 18, 2013. Management will hold a conference call at 9.00 a.m. Eastern time to discuss the results.
The postponement will give the Company additional time to finalize the audited financial results for the full year 2012. The Company expects to file its annual report on Form 10-K on time.
The Company also announced that during the fourth quarter of 2012 that it added 135,000 M2M subscriptions bringing its base to 1.9 million at the end of 2012. These additional subscriptions generated a further increase in recurring revenue resulting in the expectation of another profitable quarter.
Stratton Nicolaides, chairperson and CEO of Numerex stated “The Company’s subscription growth in 2012 was above expectations as a result of strong demand from our channel partners and customers. We believe that this trend will continue and, as a result, we expect to grow our M2M subscription base between 27% and 32% in 2013. This growth in subscriptions will drive additional 2013 M2M recurring revenues, which we anticipate will increase by 18% to 23%. In addition, the Company has in excess of $25 million in cash after retiring its bank debt, as a result of the capital raise completed in the current quarter.”
