Innodata Announces Second Quarter 2003 Results
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2003--INNODATA CORPORATION
(NASDAQ: INOD):
-- Revenues climb 21% from Q1 2003
-- Company is cash flow positive
-- Optimistic about a return to profitability next quarter
INNODATA CORPORATION (NASDAQ: INOD), a leading provider of digital
content services and solutions, today announced a net loss of $636,000
or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2003, versus a
net loss of $899,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second
quarter of 2002. Of the second quarter 2003 loss, approximately
$450,000 represented a non-cash compensation charge.
Revenues were $14,709,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003,
as compared to revenues of $22,945,000 for the same period in 2002,
but were up about 21% from revenues of $6,653,000 in the first quarter
of 2003. Of second quarter 2003 revenues, approximately 47%
represented revenue from business process outsourcing engagements.
Innodata's cash position continued to be strong at approximately
$5.8 million in the second quarter 2003, up just slightly from the
first quarter 2003. Furthermore, the company generated approximately
$700,000 cash from operating activities. In addition, working capital
remained in excess of $8 million and the company had no debt other
than routine trade payables.
This is the second straight quarter of improved
quarter-over-quarter financial performance for Innodata since the
fourth quarter of 2002, when revenues of $6,162,000 netted a loss of
$1,988,000, or $0.09 per diluted share. Last quarter the company
reported a loss of $0.05 per diluted share.
Innodata attributed the improving financial results chiefly to
enhanced competitive positioning, aggressive cost-cutting and slowly
improving capital spending levels in the commercial and enterprise
publishing sectors and other segments in which the company markets its
services.
"We're seeing the early indications of a turnaround in our
business reinforced by positive quarterly trends," said Jack Abuhoff,
Chairman and CEO of Innodata Corporation. "We reached cash flow
positive in the second quarter - an important milestone in our
business - and are looking toward profitability, barring any
unforeseen events, in the third quarter 2003.
"It's evident that we're making progress in our overall
performance, but we've got a way to go before we can pat ourselves on
the back," Abuhoff concluded. "I do believe we're on the right track
though, and I am optimistic that we will continue to improve our
results over time."
Under the terms of Innodata's stock buyback program, there remains
approximately $1.1 million in outstanding authorization should the
company decide to buy back shares.
