Cover-All Announces First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Posts Largest Quarterly Revenue in Cover-All History
MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cover-All Technologies Inc. (NYSE MKT: COVR), a Delaware corporation ("Cover-All" or the "Company"), today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Financial Highlights:
Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $6.9 million, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of 93.9%, and the highest quarterly revenue in Cover-All history.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"*), a non-GAAP metric, was $1,996,694, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $(628,464), or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2012.
The Company's balance sheet remains strong with stockholders' equity at $14.0 million as of March 31, 2013. The Company completed the quarter with $310,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $3.9 million in accounts receivable.
John Roblin, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "We are pleased to report a very strong first quarter 2013 highlighted by quarterly revenues of $6.9 million, the largest quarterly revenue in Cover-All's history. In addition, we also generated earnings of $705,000, or $.03 per fully diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to a loss of $1.5 million, or ($.06) per fully diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012.
"We are especially proud of our revenue growth because it represents customer excitement and commitment to our new Cover-All products. In a very competitive marketplace, three new customers and six existing customers have committed to our new Policy and insurance products solution in the last 9 months. We believe our Policy product combined with our fully built out commercial insurance products (Auto, Package, Business owners and Workers Compensation) is the leader in Policy solutions that utilize modern technology. Cover-All's new DEV Studio, to be released soon, is designed to give customers the ability to build and maintain their insurance products. It also enables customers to choose our full service model, do it themselves or any combination in between. The rich functionality of our suite of products, modern technology and support options are creating real excitement in the marketplace as evidenced by our growth which we expect to continue.
"Cover-All is focused on taking advantage of emerging marketplace opportunities by creating innovative solutions for the property and casualty industry, During the past few years we have strategically moved from a niche provider of legacy commercial policy systems to an organization that has totally replaced its technology while expanding its offerings through acquisition (Claims and Business Intelligence), development (Policy, Insurance products, Billing) and innovative technology tools (DEV Studio, Test Studio, Conversion Studio). We continue to invest aggressively on new capabilities to attract additional customers, increase cross selling opportunities, and grow revenue.
"In addition to our development, we have also expanded our support services to serve our new and existing customers, and continued to invest in sales and marketing. These expenditures for growth impact our bottom line. For example, our amortization of capitalized software in Q1, 2013 was $1.1 million, or $.04 per fully diluted share, compared to $700,000, or $.03 per fully diluted share, in Q1, 2012, an increase of 48%, which was planned.
"Given our investment in software, we believe that EBITDA (a non GAAP measure) is a useful additional measure for profitability. EBITDA for Q1, was strong at $2 million, or $.08 per fully diluted share, compared to an EBITDA loss of $(628,000), or $(0.02) per fully diluted share, in Q1, 2012.
"In sum, we have more to do but we are excited about the future," concluded Mr. Roblin.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating its business, Cover-All considers and uses EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents EBITDA because it believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance.
The term EBITDA is not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, EBITDA does not reflect the Company's actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than Cover-All, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. Cover-All compensates for these limitations by relying on its U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally.
