First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, ViryaNet reported total revenues of $2.9 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2012. The first quarter of last year was a record quarter with 38% growth year over year as previously reported, which benefited from several large deals closed during the quarter. Licenses revenues for the first quarter of 2013 decreased by $0.1 million to $0.4 million compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. Maintenance and services revenues decreased to $2.5 million compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2012.
Mr. Ish-Shalom continued, "We have made progress in both growing our sales pipeline and closing multiple deals with both new and existing customers. This progress materialized through direct sales and channel partners in North America and Europe. However, our Q1 2013 results were somewhat masked by the comparable record first quarter of 2012, making quarter over quarter comparisons more challenging."
Gross profit was $1.8 million, or 61.3% gross margin, compared to $2.0 million gross profit, or 64.5% gross margin, in the first quarter of 2012. Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 were approximately $1.5 million, relatively unchanged compared to the year-ago period. Operating income for the first quarter of 2013 decreased approximately $186,000 to $340,000 from $526,000 in the year-ago quarter.
Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $243,000, or $0.06 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $416,000, or $0.11 basic and $0.10 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2012.
"The feedback we received from customers who attended the largest ever ViryaNet users conference and witnessed first-hand our new native smart device field application has assured us that we are breaking new ground in the mobile experience for field technicians and supervisors," Mr. Ish-Shalom concluded. "This is also consistent with the recognition we received subsequent to the quarter end by Info-Tech Research Group that identified ViryaNet as an 'Innovator' in their Field Service Automation Vendor Landscape report. We strongly believe we have created a compelling competitive advantage in this industry, and the response from industry analysts and potential customers reinforces this belief."
Balance Sheet Summary
ViryaNet's short and long-term bank debt balance on March 31, 2013 remained relatively unchanged at $1.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $0.3 million at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
