Vaso Corporation Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter 2017

VASO

PLAINVIEW, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2017 / Vaso Corporation ("Vaso") (OTC PINK: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

"In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a total revenue of $17.9 million, of which our IT, professional sales service, and equipment segments contributed 60%, 34%, and 6%, respectively. Revenue decreased by $0.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, principally due to a decrease in revenue in the professional sales service segment as a result of a lower equipment deliveries in the quarter by our partner. Given that our order bookings in this segment remain very strong, as reflected in the significant increase in the deferred commission revenue by $3 million, or 18%, from a year ago, we anticipate higher equipment deliveries, thus higher revenues, in this segment in the future quarters," stated Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vaso Corporation. "Revenue in our IT segment increased 7% but the real growth in our healthcare IT VAR business is still yet to manifest in the financial statements, as order backlog in the VAR operations was almost double from a year ago, which will turn into revenue once the underlying products and services are delivered."

"Therefore, we expect to deliver another profitable year in 2017 and maintain a strong financial position as we continue to generate positive cash flow from operating activities," concluded Dr. Ma.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, revenue decreased 2% to $17.9 million, from $18.2 million for the same period of 2016, due to the decrease of $0.9 million in commission revenue in our professional sales service segment as a result of lower equipment deliveries by our partner, as well as lower equipment sales in our equipment segment, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million, or 7%, in revenue in our IT segment.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 decreased 3% to $9.8 million, compared with a gross profit of $10.1 million for the second quarter of 2016. This decrease is primarily the result of the decrease in revenue in the professional sales service segment resulting in a decrease in segment gross profit of $0.6 million as well as a decrease in gross profit in the equipment segment, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in gross profit in the IT segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2017 increased 5% to $10.2 million, compared to $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs in the professional sales service and IT segments.

Research and development costs increased 148% to $260 thousand in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same quarter of 2016, due to an increase in software and product development costs.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.0 million, compared with a net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net cash at June 30, 2017 was $6.5 million, compared to $7.1 million at December 31, 2016.

Deferred revenue remains substantial, at approximately $20.7 million as of June 30, 2017, up by $1.3 million from $19.4 million as of December 31, 2016, which will be recognized in the future when the underlying equipment or services are delivered and accepted at the customer site. Our shareholders' equity decreased to $10.2 million as of June 30, 2017 from $12.9 million as of December 31, 2016.
