Authentidate Holding Corp. Announces Fiscal 2007
Second Quarter Results
– – –
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., February 8, 2007 – Authentidate Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: ADAT), a worldwide provider of secure enterprise workflow management applications, today announced financial results for the fiscal 2007 second quarter ended December 31, 2006.
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2006 was $4,144,000 versus $4,211,000 for the second quarter last year. Revenue in the Company’s Security Software Solutions segment was $1,002,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $1,253,000 for the prior year quarter which included approximately $310,000 related to the amortization of deferred revenue. Excluding this one-time revenue from the prior year’s results, revenue in our Security Software Solutions segment increased approximately 6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $3,812,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3,556,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, for fiscal 2006. This increase is due primarily to litigation expenses for on-going matters of approximately $750,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, and higher product development expenses in our Security Software Solutions segment.
Total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $7,601,000 versus $8,514,000 for 2005. Revenue in the Company’s Security Software Solutions segment was $1,885,000 for the first half of fiscal 2007, compared to $2,374,000 for the prior year period which included approximately $623,000 related to the amortization of deferred revenue and other one-time revenues. Excluding these one-time items from the prior year’s results, Security Software Solutions revenue increased approximately 7% for the six months ended December 31, 2006.
Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was $8,107,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7,304,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the prior year period. The net loss for fiscal 2007 reflects continued investments in our Security Software Solutions business as well as incremental litigation expenses for on-going matters of approximately $1,300,000, or $0.04 per diluted share.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s cash and marketable securities totaled $35,982,000. Total deferred revenue at the end of the second quarter was $2,205,000.
Suren Pai, Chief Executive Officer of Authentidate, stated, “Our results for the quarter and year-to-date periods reflect steady progress in our core Security Software Solutions business and we are encouraged by the response to Inscrybe Healthcare™. We have added several customers since we launched Inscrybe in October 2006 and we are currently migrating our existing CareCert and CareFax customers to this new platform. We also signed up our first customer for our Inscrybe Plan of Care Module which expands our addressable market into the Home Health Agency space, and we recently announced a significant win by our German subsidiary in the healthcare space. As reported in the past, these positive developments will take a while to show up in our financial results but we are encouraged by our progress.” He added, “Our TrueBlue beta test has thus far provided valuable feedback about the product’s usability and is on track for a commercial launch in the second half of fiscal 2007.”
