APPLIED DIGITAL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2004 RESULTS; COMPANY GENERATES 29% INCREASE IN REVENUE
Applied Digital (NASDAQ: ADSX - News), a provider of innovative security products, today released its financial results for the second-quarter ended June 30, 2004. The Company's consolidated financial results include the financial condition, operating results and cash flows of its majority-owned subsidiaries, Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC - News), and InfoTech USA, Inc. (OTC: IFTH - News).
Revenue for the second quarter of 2004 was $26.3 million, a 29% increase from the $20.4 million in revenue from the same period during 2003. The increase in comparative quarterly revenue was attributable to an increase in revenue from Digital Angel Corporation, InfoTech USA, Inc., and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Government Telecommunications, Inc. (GTI).
Gross profit increased 22% from $5.9 million in the 2003 period to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2004. The net loss for the second quarter of 2004 was $(3.0) million, or $(0.06) per basic share, compared to net income of $56.4 million or $1.82 per basic share in the second quarter of 2003. Included in the results for the second quarter of 2003, was a $70.4 million gain for forgiveness of debt due to the satisfaction of the Company's debt obligation to IBM Credit, LLC. Excluding the effects of the gain for forgiveness of debt, the Company incurred a net loss of $(14) million for the second quarter of 2003. Accordingly, excluding the gain for forgiveness of debt, the Company's net loss decreased by $11 million comparing the second quarter of 2003 to the second quarter of 2004. The Company completed the second quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million, and restricted cash of approximately $0.9 million.
For the six-months ended June 30, 2004, the Company reported revenue of $52.8 million, a 17.9% increase versus $44.8 million in the six-months ended June 30, 2003. Applied Digital had gross profit of $15.3 million, an increase of 5.5% versus $14.5 million for the year earlier period. The Company reported a net loss of $(1.5) million, or $(0.03) per basic share for the six-months ended June 30, 2004, compared to net income of $29.4 million or $0.99 per basic share for the six-months ended June 30, 2003. Included in the results for the six-months ended June 30, 2003, was a $70.4 million gain for forgiveness of debt due to the satisfaction of the Company's debt obligation to IBM Credit, LLC. Excluding the effects of the gain for forgiveness of debt, the Company incurred a net loss of $(41) million for the six-months ended June 30, 2003. Accordingly, excluding the gain for forgiveness of debt, the Company's net loss decreased by $39.5 million comparing the first half of 2003 to the first half of 2004.
"In the second quarter, we continued to make strides in the right direction," said Scott R. Silverman, Applied Digital's Chairman and CEO. "Our revenues continue to grow and our business model, 'Security Through Innovation,' became more focused and refined. Our innovative security products provide security for people, animals, food chains, government/military assets and commercial assets. We continue to see our results improve in many ways - revenues are stronger, gross profit continues to improve and our balance sheet is strong. Although we saw an operational improvement over the comparable period last year, a quarterly loss is unacceptable. In large part, it was attributable to the loss at Digital Angel Corporation and the new CEO at Digital Angel has made steady improvement in his first two quarters, which should lead to much improved results in the third and fourth quarters. With our new corporate branding and marketing strategy to capitalize on our innovative security products, we look forward to the second half of the year."
Some of the highlights of the second quarter included:
The company's wholly owned subsidiary VeriChip Corporation entered into a memorandum of understanding with FN Manufacturing, a gun manufacturer, to develop the first integrated User Authorization System for firearms using VeriChip's RFID technology.
The company's wholly-owned subsidiary Government Telecommunications, Inc. (GTI) was awarded a contract option valued at $25 million from the United States Postal Service to upgrade telecommunications networks at 108 Postal Service facilities. Under the award, GTI is conducting site surveys, and designing, installing and testing network cabling at 108 mail processing plants and co-located administrative facilities within the United States.
The company completed a private placement, raising approximately $5.5 million, with Satellite Strategic Finance Associates, LLC, an accredited institutional investor. The placement was done at the prevailing price of the company's common stock at the time of the financing.
The Company's executives will hold a conference call to discuss these results. The conference call will take place at 4:45 PM EDT today.
