Intrinsyc Reports 2012 First Quarter Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/10/12 -- Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX: ICS) ("Intrinsyc" or the "Company"), developer of intelligent connected devices, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, reported in United States dollars and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company's results are presented in comparison to the three months ended December 31, 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2011, also in accordance with IFRS.
The Company achieved lower revenue of $2.2 million compared to the previous quarter revenue of $2.6M and broke the consecutive streak of positive EBITDA(1) achievement that spanned the previous eleven quarters. Mitigating the lower revenue performance, the Company achieved relatively strong revenue bookings during the first quarter of 2012, including two customer engagements that have potential for future royalties.
Additionally, the Company signed an agreement with a major silicon vendor to develop, market, and support a development kit based on their next generation application processor technology. The development kit will be showcased at the silicon vendor's trade show in June and an announcement in collaboration with the silicon vendor is planned prior to that event.
"With the signing of this agreement, Intrinsyc is now the premier go-to-market design and development resource for two of the leaders in application processor technology," stated Tracy Rees, Chief Executive Officer, Intrinsyc. "This is an important achievement as the company seeks to augment its engineering services business with new solutions that will provide for scalable, recurring revenue in the future." Solutions include development kits, licensable software to support design and development platforms, and production hardware solutions.
Q1 2012 Comparative Results
The Company reported revenue of approximately $2.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and approximately $2.6 million in the period ended March 31, 2011. Total revenue attributable to the Company's Software Solutions was 22 percent of revenues, including software licensing, maintenance/support and software-related services, as compared to 26 percent and 36 percent in the respective comparative quarters. Gross margin(2) was 39 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was lower than 46 percent in the three months ended December 31, 2011 and lower than the gross margin experienced of 55 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Total expenses (excluding other operating expenses)(3) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were approximately $1.0 million which was a decrease of 12% over the preceding three months ended December 31, 2011 and a 13% decrease over the three months ended March 31, 2011. EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was ($204,060) compared to $399 in the previous three months ended December 31, 2011 and $212,136 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Working capital(4) as of March 31, 2012 was approximately $11.9 million (which included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.4 million and short-term investments of approximately $5.7 million). This is compared to net working capital of approximately $11.9 million as of December 31, 2011 (which included cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.4 million and short-term investments of approximately $2.7 million).
Business Highlights
Notable events, developments, and achievements during the first quarter include the following:
The decline in revenue was due to a combination of capacity constraints as a result of recruiting and retention issues, timing of customer projects, revenue deferment from agreements with expected future royalties, and decline in Destinator® navigation sales.
"The decline in revenue and break in achievement of positive EBITDA was a disappointment," said Tracy Rees. "Although we expect to achieve better results in the second quarter, the key catalyst for sustainable revenue growth is the execution of our strategy to expand our solution offering with silicon platform solutions, including development kits and production System on Modules."
System on Modules are complete embedded computers built on a single circuit board. The design is centered on a microprocessor with RAM, input/output controllers and other core features needed to be a functional computer for specific vertical market applications.
Development of these production hardware solutions and licensable platform software will allow Intrinsyc to offer mobile and embedded device makers with semi-custom solutions that can provide time to market and cost advantages to completely custom product development. These solutions are especially popular with vertical market OEMs and are expected to significantly expand customer opportunities for the Company.
Intrinsyc is planning to showcase the OPEN-6 Design and Production platform at the Freescale Technology Forum, from June 18-21, in San Antonio, Texas. Development kits and the licensable reference design will be available for purchase at that time, with the availability of a production ready System on Modules and carrier board in the third quarter.
Intrinsyc will announce another platform development program with a leading semiconductor vendor and showcase this development kit at an industry event in June. The Company expects to make this development kit available for purchase at that time with delivery in the third quarter. A production ready System on Modules and carrier board will also be available later in the third quarter.
