I-Sector Reports 1st Quarter Results
HOUSTON, May 14, 2003 /PRNewswire/ -- I-Sector Corporation (Nasdaq: ISEC -
NEWS), today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31,
2002 and provided an update on its outlook for the future.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
First quarter results were approximately in line with what the company announced
in its statement of March 31, 2003, in which revenue of approximately $9.3
million to $9.6 million and a net loss in the range of $900,000 to $1.1 million
were forecast.
For the company's first quarter ended March 31, 2002:
o Revenue from continuing operations increased 9% to $10.1 million
compared to $9.2 million for the corresponding prior year period.
o The net loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $1.1
million compared to a net loss from continuing operations before income
taxes of $383,000 for the corresponding prior year period.
o Net loss for the quarter was a loss of $1.1 million for the current
period compared to a net income of $805,000 for the corresponding prior
year period, which contained an income tax benefit of $1.2 million.
o Earnings per share (basic and diluted) was a net loss of $0.30 for the
quarter compared to a net income per share of $0.21 for the
corresponding prior year period.
Commenting on the results for the first quarter, James H. Long, President and
CEO of the company stated, "As we announced on March 31, 2003, our revenue for
the first quarter was negatively impacted by softness related to what we believe
was an unwillingness of organizations to proceed with capital expenditures
during the period leading up to the Iraq conflict. In addition, we recognized
costs during the first quarter related to the startup of our Stratasoft India
operation, as well as costs associated with expanding our Valerent business
unit. The combination of these costs and lower revenue contributed to an
increased net loss for the first quarter, as expected." OUTLOOK The following
statements are made by the company and are based upon current expectations.
These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.
The weakness in general economic conditions and the slowdown in corporate
information technology spending experienced during the past three years has made
firm forecasting of future financial performance more difficult than would
otherwise be possible and the visibility for many public companies is somewhat
limited at this time as compared to the past. o Our strategy is to produce rapid
growth of our subsidiary companies, both through internally generated growth and
possibly through selective acquisitions of complementary companies.
o We expect revenue for our second quarter ending June 30, 2003 to grow
substantially to approximately $14 million to $15 million. The
substantial sequential improvement in revenue is expected to be
primarily related to increased revenue in each of our three subsidiary
companies, with the most substantial increase at our Internetwork
Experts subsidiary. Some of this substantial increase, particularly in
our Internetwork Expert and Stratasoft subsidiaries, is expected to be
related to a rebound from the constrained spending of the first
quarter, during which we believe many customers held off on purchases
during the period leading up to the Iraq conflict. In addition, both
Valerent and Stratasoft are expected to benefit from the expansion
efforts that each has recently made and Internetwork Experts is
expected to benefit from its recently announced acquisition of Digital
Precision.
o We expect the net loss for the second quarter ending June 30, 2003 to
be approximately $400,000 to $600,000. The sequential improvement in
the net loss as compared to the first quarter is expected to be
primarily related to the expected increase in revenue, somewhat offset
by continued costs related to the expansion of all three of our
subsidiary companies.
o We expect the per share net loss for the second quarter ending June 30,
2003 to be approximately $0.12 to $0.17 per share.
o Providing an outlook for any period further out than the near-term
quarter is more challenging and is subject to a lesser degree of
accuracy than our near-term outlook. Based upon our current view of
market conditions, our expected sales and marketing efforts and our
expected expense structure, our current expectations for our third
quarter ending September 30, 2003 are for revenue of approximately $14
million to $18 million with a net loss of approximately $200,000 to
$500,000. Looking further out, we currently expect revenue for our
fourth quarter ending December 31, 2003, to be roughly in the range of
approximately $15 million to $20 million, with net profitability
ranging between approximately a net loss of $100,000 to a net profit of
$200,000. During 2004 and beyond we generally expect revenue to
continue to increase and our operating profitability to continue to
improve. Our expected continued revenue improvements are based upon our
previous and ongoing expenditures to expand all three of our subsidiary
companies as well as an expected improvement in general market
conditions.
o The forecasts set forth above are for the current organization and do
not include the effect of any future acquisitions. In addition to
internally generated growth, we anticipate possibly making selective
acquisitions during the next twelve months and beyond that we expect
will, if consummated, add additional revenue. There is no guarantee
that any other suitable acquisitions will be identified or that any
other transactions will be consummated.
Regarding the company's outlook for the future, James H. Long, President and CEO
of the company stated, "The sales funnel reports generated by the sales staff of
our subsidiary companies, which is our best indication of near-term future
outlook for sales, shows a marked improvement in activity for all three of our
subsidiary companies. The recently announced acquisition of Digital Precision by
Internetwork Experts appears to be integrating well and providing the
anticipated positive results. The recent expenditures that we have made to
expand our Stratasoft and Valerent subsidiaries is driving sales activity, as
both of those business units are showing marked improvements in the level of
business activity." SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT The statements contained in this
