COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 2, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integral Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:ISYS) ("Company") today reported financial results for its fiscal quarter ended June 25, 2010 and revised its guidance for full-year fiscal 2010. The results for the quarter include a $2.7 million increase in reserve against potentially unrecoverable costs on government contracts, the continuing impact of additional expenses associated with ongoing legal and compliance activities, and costs associated with recent acquisitions.
The Company recognized a $2.7 million reserve for work performed on U.S. government contracts during fiscal years 2008 and 2009. During fiscal year 2010, the Company changed the method of allocating certain expenses based on negotiations with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). Based on this change in methodology, the Company received provisional billing rates for fiscal year 2010. Subsequently, the DCAA indicated that the methodology adopted for the 2010 rates should be applied to the cost incurred rates for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 as applied to government contracts. The Company continues its discussions with the DCAA regarding fiscal years 2008 and 2009 incurred costs. At this time, management believes it has established an appropriate position with the $2.7 million reserve.
The $2.7 million reserve is in addition to the $3.9 million revenue rate reserve recognized in fiscal year 2009.
"We are distressed by the impact of the additional reserve and continuing legal and compliance expenses," commented Paul Casner, President and CEO of Integral Systems. "I understand our shareholders' frustration with the level and frequency of these types of additional expenses. I share that frustration.
"We have taken a prudent position with this reserve and do not anticipate that we will experience any significant adjustments upon audit by the DCAA. We continue our efforts to reduce indirect expenses, recognizing that some of them, such as ongoing legal expenses from the Securities and Exchange Commission action, are beyond our control."
Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $44.4 million, an increase of 11.5% versus the third quarter of 2009. Gross margin was 29.8%, compared to 24.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Third quarter 2010 loss from operations was $5.0 million, compared to a loss from operations of $3.8 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.8 million or a loss of $0.22 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1.5 million or $0.09 per diluted share reported for the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
As a result of Integral Systems' performance for the first three quarters of fiscal 2010, the Company is providing revised full-year fiscal 2010 guidance of:
- Revenue: Reaffirmed revenue guidance of $170M - $174M
- Gross Margin: 37% - 39% versus previous guidance of 35% - 37%
- Earnings per Share (diluted): ($0.02) – ($0.05) versus previous guidance of $0.35 - $0.40
- EBITDA: $9M - $12M versus previous guidance of $20M - $25M
"We continue to see progress in our operations, led by our Products Group. Strong product sales in the majority of our product lines drove 11% revenue growth year over year and a solid 38.5% gross margin year to date. While CVG-Avtec, now the SATCOM Solutions division, did not meet our financial projections for their first quarter as a division of Integral Systems, we remain confident in the strategic value of the acquisition," commented Casner.
Earnings results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 include the following items:
- Revenue rate reserve of $2.7M for potential future audit adjustments by the DCAA for fiscal years 2008 and 2009 incurred costs on government programs
- Consultant expenses associated with the resolution of previously disclosed Sarbanes-Oxley material weaknesses of approximately $336K, almost three times the planned expenditure
- Unexpected legal expenses resulting from the Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation of, and civil action against, two former officers of approximately $500K. The Company is not a defendant in that action
- Additional expenses related to the asset acquisition of Sophia Wireless and the integration of CVG-Avtec – now Integral Systems SATCOM Solutions division – of approximately $600K, reflected in operating expenses of $18.3M
- Revenue shortfall in the Integral Systems SATCOM Solutions division of over 50% compared to forecast
"We are proactively and rigorously managing our expenses and remain committed to making the structural and operational changes necessary to rationalize our business operations while continuing to invest carefully to position the Company for long-term growth," Casner concluded.
