Point.360 Announces Fourth Fiscal Quarter And Fiscal 2014 Results

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Point.360 (NASDAQ: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2014.  For the twelve month period ending June 30, 2014 sales were $25.7 million, and the loss per share was $0.25.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company's sales were $6.5 million, generating a loss of $0.03 per share.  The Company also reported $0.2 million of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (non-GAAP EBITDAN) for the three-month period.

Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: "Lower fiscal 2014 revenues are the result of our decision to terminate our computer graphics business in October 2013 and lower orders from a major customer who brought "in house" some of the work previously outsourced to Point.360."

Mr. Bagerdjian continued: "We have just completed the installation of a 10-gig Ethernet, 8-gig fiber channel and HD-SDI customized private network that gives Point.360 the advantages of state-of-the-art rapid internal and external communication and response, content distribution and security capabilities for our customers. In this file-based environment, deliveries of both feature and television content to digital portal platforms such as Google and Netflix are increasing.  Content localization for international deliveries on behalf of our studio clients is growing. Additionally, the network allows us to more fully utilize our facility investments. We look forward to improvement in fiscal 2015."

Revenues

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 totaled $6.5 million compared to $7.2 million in the same quarter last year.  Revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 2014 were $25.7 million compared to $30.9 million last year.  Declines were due primarily to lower content distribution orders by a major customer and our decision in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to terminate our inconsistent computer graphics business.

Gross Margin

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, gross margin was $2.3 million (36% of sales), compared to $2.2 million (31% of sales) in the prior year's fourth quarter.  For fiscal 2014, gross margin was $8.4 million or 33% of sales, compared to $10.5 million, or 34% of sales in last year.

Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, SG&A expenses were $2.7 million, or 41% of sales, compared to $3.1 million, or 43% of sales, in the fourth quarter of last year.  For the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, SG&A expenses were $11.3 million (44% of sales) compared to $12.0 million (39% of sales) last year. 

Interest expense was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2014, and $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2013.

Other income in all periods includes sublease income.  In the fiscal 2014 twelve month period, other income includes $0.3 million from the settlement of a lawsuit.  In the fiscal 2013 twelve month period, other income included a $332,000 discount received on the payoff of a mortgage, offset by the write offs of $90,000 of deferred financing costs related to that mortgage and a $30,000 fee to terminate a revolving credit agreement, in addition to income of $131,000 associated with a change in accounting estimate related to a customer rebate program.

Operating Loss

Operating loss was $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $0.9 million in last year's fourth quarter.  For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2014, operating loss was $3.0 million compared to $1.5 million in the prior year's twelve month period.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company reported a net loss of $0.4 million ($0.03 per share) compared to $0.9 million ($0.08 per share) in the same period last year.  For the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported a net loss of $2.7 million ($0.25 per share) compared to $1.2 million ($0.12 per share) in the prior year period.
