• Q2 2006 Revenues Increase By 67% to $12 Million from $7.2 Million in 2005
• Six Months Revenues Increase 49% to $17 Million from $11.4 million for 2005
EASLEY, S.C. -- (BUSINESSWIRE) -- August 15, 2006 -- Computer Software Innovations, Inc., (OTCBB: CSWI.OB), CSI Technology Outfitters™, (“CSI”) today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
CSI posted revenue of approximately $12.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a 67% increase over the $7.2 million for the comparable period ended June 30, 2005.
Net Income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $508,000 or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of approximately $589,000 and $0.05 earnings per diluted share for the same period last year.
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, software applications revenues increased 27% due to the related improvements in account penetration, product mix and better cost containment in this segment. The resulting higher margins in the software segment offset a significant portion of the impact of increased competitive offerings in the technology solutions segment. The increase in software applications segment revenues stemmed primarily from an overall increase in the number of new clients purchasing new software, accompanying installation and training services and software service contract upgrades from CSI.
While the technology solutions segment revenues increased 74%, a significant portion of this increase, approximately 60%, resulted from CSI acting as a reseller rather than agent for personal computer sales, which increased reported revenues with little impact on gross profit. Total personal computer sales both as reseller and agent declined slightly resulting in decreased gross profit from reduced commissions. The impact of lower commissions and increased competitive offerings caused the reduction in Operating income to $852,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,256,000 for the comparable period of the prior year.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, revenues were $17 million, up 49% from approximately $11.4 million for the comparable period a year ago. Operating Income was approximately $325,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, up from the $205,000 for the comparable six month period ended June 30, 2005. Net Income was $78,000 as compared to the Net loss of $1.89 million for the six month’s ended June 30, 2005.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased software sales volumes and product mix contributed to the growth in revenues, coupled with an increase in technology sales. The increase in Operating income for the six month period resulted primarily from increased revenues, stronger product mix in the software segment and a focus on cost containment in the Company's two segments.
“We are pleased to report a significant sales increase in our software applications segment, which represents our highest margin business segment. We believe the realignment of our sales force to sell all products rather than focusing on one segment’s offerings has had a positive impact. Increases in software revenues help mitigate the risks from margin pressure and changes in product mix in our technology solutions segment, while ultimately driving greater gross profits. We will continue to focus on efforts of improving sales of higher margin products and services with a strengthening sales force approach, and by expanding our geographic footprint through organic growth and acquisitions that could bolster our market presence,” said Nancy Hedrick, CEO.
