DecisionPoint Systems Reports Results For First Quarter Ended March 31, 2015

DPSIP

IRVINE, Calif., May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint™ Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI and DPSIP), a leading provider and integrator of Enterprise Mobility and Wireless Applications solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.  Sales were $11.7 million, down 29.7 percent from sales of $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2014.  The net loss was $580,000 compared to a net loss of $113,000 for the first quarter of 2014.  On an EPS basis, the loss per share was $0.08, compared to a $0.04 loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measurement that management uses to measure progress) was $333,000 for the three-month period this year compared to $482,000 for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $149,000.

Interim CEO James DeSocio commented, "The first quarter is typically our weakest quarter, and this year's first quarter was hobbled by freakish weather, including record snowfalls in the Midwest and Northeast, and a general slackness in the US economy.  In addition, four individuals from our sales group left DecisionPoint and joined a competitor; our sales were lower in many of our accounts that they were servicing when they worked for us.  We have filed lawsuits for unfair competition and solicitation, breaches of confidentiality and loyalty, and other improper activities.  Hardware is our largest revenue category, and hardware sales were down sharply, from $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2014, to $6.9 million in the quarter we are reporting.   Professional services, which carry a better gross profit margin, were not down at all, but they were flat at $3.8 million.  Software sales were off at the same rate as hardware sales.

"It is not the first time we have had a poor first quarter, and it may not be the last, as it is typically our seasonably weakest quarter," Mr. DeSocio added, "but our annual performance is highly dependent every year on the steady progression of quarters, with the highest sales by far in the second half of the year.  We have a lot to make up, but our team is tough and we are capable of climbing back up and improving our trend, as we established last year."

CFO Michael Roe said, "Cash provided by operations in the first quarter of 2015 was $2.1 million, as compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2014.  Overall indebtedness of $5.4 million was lower by an aggregate of almost $2.8 million from the December 31, 2014 balance of $8.2 million.  The gross profit margin for the quarter just ended was 22 percent, 60 basis points higher than in the first quarter of 2014; SG&A was down by 23.1 percent, or about $0.9 million, due to our continued emphasis on expense control.  Our aggressive cost cutting in 2013 has positioned us to better weather a weaker quarter.

"Interest expense was also lower, due to lower borrowings.  Our cash was $818,000 at March 31, 2015, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2014.  In the second quarter we intend to pay preferred dividends in kind for the first quarter, and will most likely do the same for the second quarter, preferred dividends payable in the third quarter, as we also intend to aggressively press the legal actions underway."
