Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. Presents Q2 2013 Results
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. ("HOMI")(OTC: HOUM),a multi-national service provider in the hospitality industry which supplies computerized minibars that are primarily intended for in-room refreshments, presented its consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Mr. Daniel Cohen, HOMI's President, stated: "The results of the second quarter of 2013 were affected by several factors. First, the early termination of an outsourcing agreement with a major U.S. hotel resulted in a decrease of 650 minibars operated. Second, delays in the opening of several new hotels in which we signed agreements for the installation and outsourcing of approximately 1,500 HOMI minibars resulted in the installation of only 400 minibars at end of the second quarter. The other remaining minibars will be installed during the third and fourth quarters of this year. These new installations will be reflected in future reports.
"In order to increase our business in the United States and Europe, we recently recruited two sales managers, one in the United States and one in Europe.
"At the end of July, HOMI filed a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in which HOMI is offering to existing shareholders the right to purchase up to US$1.1 million of HOMI common stock. As of the date hereof we have received shareholders' commitments for converting shareholder loans into shares totaling approximately US$900,000."
Financial Results for Q2 2013:
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reached US$765,000, a decrease of 12% compared to US$870,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2012. The revenues arise primarily from the sale of refreshments in the minibars. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in the quantity of minibars operated, as agreements with some hotels in the United States reached the end of their terms.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, HOMI's three largest customers accounted for approximately 22.3% of the total revenues, compared to 28.8% in the same period in 2012.

Gross profit margin in the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 12%, compared to 12.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease is mainly due to the above mentioned decrease in revenues and due to the fact that the gross profits in HOMI's United States subsidiary is relatively low, for the period.
