INFOCROSSING REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER
AND FULL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
Company Reports Record Revenues of $229.2 Million and EPS of $0.37 for 2006
LEONIA, NJ, March 13, 2007 -- Infocrossing, Inc. (Nasdaq: IFOX), a provider of
selective IT infrastructure, enterprise application and business process
outsourcing services, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter
and full year ended December 31, 2006.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 HIGHLIGHTS
o Reached Record Revenues. Revenues were $229,200,000 for 2006, an increase
of $81,200,000 compared with revenues of $148,000,000 for 2005.
o Net Income Increased 226.9% and EPS increased 208.3%. Net income for 2006
was $8,500,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with net income of
$2,600,000, or $0.12 per diluted share for 2005. The weighted average
number of shares and share equivalents used to calculate diluted EPS was
27,884,253 shares for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with
21,726,496 shares in 2005.
o Achieved Record EBITDA. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) were $42,000,000 for 2006, an increase of $19,900,000
compared with 2005. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income follows in
Appendix A, and descriptions of this measure and the reasons for presenting
it as well as its limitations, are explained below.
o Generated Record Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow. The Company's
recurring revenue base and critical mass business model provided record
cash flow in 2006. For the year, Infocrossing generated $30,600,000 in cash
from operations, compared with $21,900,000 in 2005. Free cash flow
increased to $22,600,000 in 2006, compared with free cash flow of
$16,700,000 in 2005. A reconciliation of free cash flow to cash from
operations follows in Appendix A, and descriptions of this measure and the
reasons for presenting it as well as its limitations, are explained below.
o Successfully Completed the (i)Structure Integration. Infocrossing acquired
(i)Structure on November 30, 2005 and forecasted between $13,000,000 and
$15,000,000 in annual cost synergies, with $9,000,000 to $11,000,000 of the
savings expected to be realized in 2006. Infocrossing successfully
completed the integration and achieved $14,000,000 in annual cost savings,
with approximately $12,000,000 of the savings realized in 2006.
o Signed $108,000,000 in Total New Contract Value (TCV) in 2006. The Company
continued to add clients for its outsourcing services and signed
approximately $108,000,000 in total new revenue commitments during the year
over an average term of approximately five years.
o Extended Contract with the Company's Largest Client. The Medicaid claims
processing contract with the State of Missouri had a scheduled termination
date of June 30, 2007 and contained two one-year options to extend the
Agreement through June 30, 2009. The State of Missouri exercised its first
option, extending the scheduled expiration date through June 30, 2008. In
addition, Infocrossing granted the client an additional one-year renewal
option that could extend the Agreement through June 30, 2010. The State of
Missouri has been a client since 1988.
o Realized the Expected Growth from the New Medicare Part D Services. In
December 2005, Infocrossing extended its enrollment and reconciliation
services to include the new Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit plan
that went into effect in January 2006. During the year, Infocrossing added
67 new clients for this service.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 RESULTS
Infocrossing reported revenues of $229,200,000 for the full year ended December
31, 2006, an increase of $81,200,000, or 54.9%, compared with revenues of
$148,000,000 for 2005. Excluding revenues from the (i)Structure acquisition
completed on November 30, 2005, revenues for 2006 increased approximately
$10,000,000, or 7.1%. The increase was net of attrition from existing clients
totaling less than 5.0% of revenues for the year.
Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation, was $160,400,000 for 2006, or 70.0% of
revenues, compared with $106,800,000, or 72.2% of revenues for the comparable
period last year. The lower costs, as a percentage of revenues, resulted from
the synergies achieved after the (i)Structure acquisition.
EBITDA increased by $19,900,000, or 90.0%, to $42,000,000 for the full year
ended December 31, 2006, from $22,100,000 for the comparable period in 2005. A
reconciliation of EBITDA to net income follows in Appendix A, and descriptions
of this measure and the reasons for presenting it as well as its limitations,
are explained below.
Income before taxes increased by $10,600,000 to $15,300,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2006 from $4,700,000 for the comparable period in 2005. Tax expense
was $6,800,000 for 2006 compared with an expense of $2,200,000 for last year.
Income taxes were accrued at an effective rate of 44% for 2006, but are payable
at a rate of 10%, after the application of net operating loss carry-forwards.
Net income for 2006 was $8,500,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with
net income of $2,600,000, or $0.12 per diluted share for the comparable period
in 2005. The weighted average number of shares and share equivalents used to
calculate diluted EPS was 27,884,253 shares for the year ended December 31, 2006
compared with 21,726,496 shares for the year ended December 31, 2005. The number
of shares for 2006 includes 5,673,759, the potential number of shares into which
the Company's 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the "Notes") may be
converted. For the purpose of computing diluted EPS, net income for 2006
reflects a pro forma reversal of interest expense, net of tax, in the amount of
$1,800,000, relating to the Notes. The adjustments to the number of shares and
net income were not required in 2005 since such adjustments were not dilutive in
that year.
Cash from operations for 2006 was $30,600,000 compared with $21,900,000 for
2005. Free cash flow was $22,600,000 for 2006, compared with $16,700,000 for
2005. A reconciliation of free cash flow to cash from operations follows in
Appendix A, and descriptions of this measure and the reasons for presenting it
as well as its limitations, are explained below.
"2006 was a successful year for Infocrossing. Revenues, EBITDA and income from
operations reached record levels in 2006; net income increased 226.9%, and
earnings per share increased 208.3%, all demonstrating the success and strength
of our growth strategy. Furthermore, costs as a percentage of revenue decreased
with the realization of synergies from the (i)Structure acquisition and the
addition of new clients for our outsourcing services. The lower costs as a
percentage of revenue, coupled with our recurring revenue business model,
provided record free cash flow generation in 2006," stated Zach Lonstein,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Infocrossing. "More importantly, the
greater scale and capabilities that resulted from the (i)Structure acquisition
have enabled us to begin realizing the sales and marketing benefits that we had
expected. Infocrossing received a `positive' rating in Gartner's `MarketScope:
Data Center Outsourcing, North America 2006,' report, and companies such as
Novell have engaged Infocrossing as an infrastructure delivery partner to enable
them to introduce new products and services to their clients. As a result of the
greater market presence, Infocrossing's pipeline of qualified outsourcing
opportunities grew throughout 2006 and the Company closed approximately
$108,000,000 in new contracts over an average term of approximately five years
in length. We believe that we are just beginning to realize the sales benefits
of our greater market presence since opportunities that we began developing in
the beginning of 2006 didn't begin closing until the end of the year. As a
result, more than forty percent of the total contract value signed for the year
was closed after the third quarter. Our sales pipeline remains very strong and
we expect the higher level of contract bookings to continue in 2007," Mr.
Lonstein added.
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006, Infocrossing reported revenues
of $58,900,000 an increase of $17,700,000, or 43.0%, compared with revenues of
$41,200,000 reported for the fourth quarter of 2005. Infocrossing acquired
(i)Structure on November 30, 2005, therefore, the fourth quarter of 2005
included approximately $7,200,000 of revenues acquired. Excluding (i)Structure,
revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased $5,300,000, or 15.6%. The
increase in revenues is net of attrition from existing clients totaling less
than 1% of revenues for the quarter. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006
were slightly below the Company's previously provided guidance of $59,700,000
forecasted for the period.
Cost of revenues, excluding depreciation, was $40,300,000 for the fourth quarter
of 2006, or 68.4% of revenues compared with $29,900,000, or 72.6% of revenues
for the fourth quarter of last year. The lower costs, as a percentage of
revenues, reflect the cost synergies realized from the integration of the
(i)Structure acquisition.
EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $12,500,000, in line with the
Company's previously provided guidance and an increase of $7,500,000, or 150%
compared with $5,000,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005. A reconciliation of
EBITDA to net income follows in Appendix A, and descriptions of this measure and
the reasons for presenting it as well as its limitations, are explained below.
Income before taxes for the fourth quarter was $5,700,000 compared with less
than $100,000 for the same period last year. Net income for the current quarter
was $2,900,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of
$100,000, or ($0.01) per diluted share for the comparable quarter last year. Net
income for the fourth quarter of 2006 included a tax expense of $2,700,000,
compared with a tax expense of $100,000 for 2005.
Cash from operations for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $15,400,000, compared
with $6,700,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005. Free cash flow was $11,900,000
for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with $5,100,000 for the fourth quarter
of last year. A reconciliation of free cash flow to cash from operations follows
in Appendix A, and descriptions of this measure and the reasons for presenting
it as well as its limitations, are explained below.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
"Our focus in 2006 was to complete the integration of the (i)Structure
acquisition, achieve the targeted cost synergies and leverage our greater scale
and capabilities to enhance our market presence, grow our sales pipeline, and
position the Company for greater sales growth in the future. We believe that we
have achieved these objectives and that we are now well positioned to achieve a
higher sales growth rate beginning in 2007. We forecast revenues for 2007 to be
between $250,000,000 and $255,000,000, an increase of between 9.1% and 11.3%
compared with 2006," Mr. Lonstein said. "More importantly, the market for
infrastructure outsourcing is expected to remain strong for the foreseeable
future and we believe that we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the
market's growth. We have consolidated our segment of the industry, we have
extensive capabilities across computing platforms and we offer a unique and
compelling value proposition for companies that want to utilize an outsourcer to
reduce their operating costs or deploy new technology solutions. Therefore, we
believe that we can achieve a growth rate in the mid teens in the future and
will make the necessary investments in 2007 to achieve the higher growth rate in
later years. Specifically, we expect to increase our sales and marketing
expenses by approximately $3,000,000 in 2007, and plan to use the additional
dollars to add more people to our sales team and increase our spending on
marketing to build broader awareness of Infocrossing. The additional sales
resources will include sales executives responsible for adding new clients for
our outsourcing services, account managers that will focus on selling additional
services to our existing clients, and solution architects that are responsible
for working with the sales executives and account managers to design the
outsourcing solutions. Further, we will make investments in product development
to introduce new infrastructure outsourcing and Medicare processing services
through our sales and account management organizations. We will also invest in
data center transformation projects that will provide greater standardization
and automation of our data center operations so that we can install and more
cost effectively support the additional clients. We now have five data centers
in the United States, and our goal in 2007 is to deploy common management tools
and practices that will optimize the operation of each facility so that we have
one set of standardized procedures deployed company-wide," Mr. Lonstein
continued. "Despite the investments that we will make in 2007 to capitalize on
the market opportunities, we forecast net income to increase between 27.1% to
35.5% and reach $10,800,000 to $11,500,000 for 2007, earnings per share to
increase between 18.9% to 24.3% and reach $0.44 to $0.46 per diluted share, cash
from operations to increase to between $36,000,000 and $38,000,000, or 17.6% to
24.2%, and free cash flow to increase to between $30,000,000 and $31,000,000, or
32.7% to 37.2% for the year. In addition, EBITDA is expected to grow to between
$47,000,000 and $49,000,000 for 2007, an increase of between 11.9% and 16.7%
compared with EBITDA of $42,000,000 for 2006." A reconciliation of net income to
EBITDA is included in the table below and a reconciliation of free cash flow to
cash from operations is included in Appendix B. Descriptions of these measures
and the reasons for presenting them, as well as their limitations, are explained
below.
"We believe that we are well on our way toward achieving our objectives for the
year. We closed approximately $42,000,000 in new contracts during that last
quarter of 2006 that are expected to provide approximately $1,300,000 per month
in additional revenues once installed, and our pipeline remains strong.
Migration activities relating to these new contracts will begin during the first
quarter with the majority of the revenue increase commencing in the second
quarter of 2007. For the first quarter ending March 31, 2007, we forecast
revenues to be between $59,200,000 and $60,500,000, an increase of between
$3,300,000 and $4,600,000 compared with the first quarter of 2006 and a
sequential increase of between $300,000 and $1,600,000 compared with the fourth
quarter of 2006. EBITDA for the first quarter is expected to be between
$10,200,000 and $11,000,000, an increase of between $1,700,000 and $2,500,000
compared with the same period last year, and a decrease of between $1,500,000
and $2,300,000 compared with the prior quarter. The decrease reflects the
additional expenses that are expected to be incurred in the first quarter with
respect to migrating new clients, higher employer payroll taxes at the beginning
of each year, and the initiation of the data center transformation projects."
Mr. Lonstein concluded, "2006 was an outstanding year for Infocrossing and we
are very proud of our results. We have successfully established Infocrossing as
the leading provider of selective outsourcing services in the United States, and
we expect our market leadership to result in even better results in 2007."

EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. The Company presents EBITDA because it considers such information
an important supplemental measure of its performance and believes it is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties
in the evaluation of companies with comparable market capitalization, many of
which present EBITDA when reporting their results. The Company also uses EBITDA
for the following purposes: (1) EBITDA is one of the factors used to determine
the total amount of bonuses available to be awarded to executive officers and
other employees; (2) the Company's credit agreement uses EBITDA (with additional
adjustments) to measure compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and
debt incurrence; (3) EBITDA is also used by prospective and current lessors as
well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions with the Company;
and (4) EBITDA is also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential
acquisition candidates.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in
isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported
under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) EBITDA does not reflect changes
in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs; (b) EBITDA
does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements
necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debts; and
(c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and
EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal
indicator of the Company's performance. The Company compensates for these
limitations by relying primarily on the Company's GAAP results and using EBITDA
only on a supplemental basis.
FCF represents Free Cash Flow. FCF is defined as cash flow from operations less
cash disbursed for capital expenditures. The Company presents FCF because it
considers such information an important supplemental measure of performance and
believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies with comparable market
capitalization as the Company, many of which present FCF when reporting their
results.
FCF has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in
isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported
under GAAP. These limitations include that FCF excludes other significant cash
flows, such as principal payments on debt. Because of these limitations, FCF
should not be considered as a principal indicator of the Company's performance.
The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on the
Company's GAAP results and using FCF only on a supplemental basis.
