B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2009
RISHON LEZION, Israel, November 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) B.O.S. Better Online Solutions Ltd. (BOS or the Company) (NasdaqCM:BOSC) a leading provider of comprehensive RFID, mobile and supply chain solutions, with operations in Israel and the United States, today reported its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
| Revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 amounted to $8.0 million and $25.1 million respectively, compared to $13.4 million and $41.4 million in the comparable periods in 2008. |
| EBITDA for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 amounted to ($928,000) and ($1.6) million respectively, compared to ($110,000) and $468,000 in the comparable periods in 2008. |
| The Companys backlog is showing signs of recovery and amounted to $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $8.9 million in the second quarter. |
| The Company is implementing cost reduction measures in the fourth quarter of 2009. |
Revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 amounted to $8.0 million and $25.1 million respectively, compared to $13.4 million and $41.4 million respectively, in the comparable periods in 2008. The significant reduction in revenues is mainly attributed to the global economic crises.
Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 remain at a similar level to those of the second quarter of 2009, which is a sign of stability after revenues fell consecutively in the first two quarters of 2009.
The Companys management said that it is encouraged by the growth of its backlog during the third quarter of 2009. The Companys backlog dropped from a level of $12.1 million as of September 30, 2008 to $8.9 million as of June 30, 2009, but as of September 30, 2009, backlog increased to $9.9 million, and the trend continued in October 2009.
In the first quarter of 2009, the Company implemented cost reduction measures, which included a reduction of 19% (29 employees) of the workforce. The drop in revenues in the first nine months of 2009 was stronger than the Company anticipated. BOS is now in the process of implementing additional cost-cutting measures, including an additional reduction of 14% (17 employees) of its workforce.
We believe that the recent sign of recovery in our backlog and the cost reduction program we are putting into place will improve our financial results going forward, said acting CEO Yuval Viner.
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2009 includes an inventory write-off in the amount of $1.3 million resulting from the overall global economic conditions and its impact on the Companys business operations. As a result, gross margin as a percentage of revenues was reduced to 5.1% in the third quarter, down from 22% in the same period last year.
Operating loss for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2009 amounted to $2.5 million and $4.9 million respectively, compared to operating losses of $409,000 and $576,000 for the same periods in 2008, respectively. The Companys operating loss for the first nine months of year 2009 includes an impairment of goodwill in the amount of $1.2 million.
Other expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 amounted to $59,000 and $304,000 respectively, which consisted primarily of a further impairment of the Companys investment in New World Brands Inc. (OTC BB: NWBD.OB) in which BOS holds less than 20%.
Net loss for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 amounted to $2.7 million and $5.8 million respectively, compared to net loss of $830,000 and $909,000 in the comparable periods in 2008, respectively.
As of September 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents were $1.7 million and short term bank loans amounted to $12.9 million.
Following the financial results of the third quarter, the Company is not in line with its financial covenants with its banks, and is currently discussing with the banks waivers and a redefinition of new financial covenants. As a result, long term bank loans in the amount of $1 million as of September 30, 2009, are presented under short term bank loans.
On August 20, 2009 we announced that we closed a $2.4 million convertible loan financing with several lenders including Catalyst Private Equity Partners (Israel) II L.P., Telegraph Hill Capital Fund I, LLC, certain existing shareholders and members of its management.
Our performance in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 was adversely affected by the global economic slowdown. Therefore, we have accelerated the implementation of a cost reduction program, which is already resulting in improved operating efficiency, said acting CEO Yuval Viner.
Equally important, we are putting in place an integration plan between the supply chain and RFID & mobile divisions in order to optimize the allocation of our resources amongst our divisions. We expect this will lead to better performance for the BOS group. We are also optimistic that the growth in backlog, compared to the first two quarters of 2009 is a sign that recovery is starting, said Avidan Zelicovsky, acting President.
Edouard Cukierman, Chairman, added: In addition to these measures, due to our growing product portfolio and expertise in the RFID market, we are well positioned to increase revenues and improve our operating results.
