TEL AVIV, Israel and PLANO, Texas, Oct. 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:TISA), a global innovator of intelligent content processing solutions, today announced its financial results for the first and second quarters of 2018.

Brendan Reidy, CEO of Top Image Systems, commented: “We are pleased to be reporting both our first and second quarters along with the six months ended June 30, 2018, results, and we feel the appointment of John London as Interim CFO will streamline our financial reporting process moving forward. We remain focused on our three key priorities as last communicated, which are achieving continuous efficiency improvements from our operations; protecting our core receivables automation and forms processing businesses, and; investing in the cloud-based process automation solutions, with particular emphasis on accounts payable automation. We continue to enhance our core product offering to ensure customer satisfaction. We are developing a hybrid on-premise and cloud-based financial automation product that we expect to launch within approximately the next six to nine months, to be followed by the launch of our full cloud financial automation solution. We see opportunities to broaden our product offerings to our current installed base of legacy eGistics customers, and believe these initiatives, when combined with our discipline and rigorous expense management, will enable us to achieve our goal of improved operational performance and improving the Company’s financial health.”

The Company’s revenues and bottom line results for each of the three months ended March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018, are not comparable to prior year periods due to our adoption, effective January 1, 2018, of Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenues with Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 changed how the Company computes and records revenues and commissions from customer contracts (new and existing). Under the new method, revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018, were $1,000 and $59,000 lower, respectively, than they would have been had the prior accounting method been continued by the Company. Net loss for the same periods decreased by $91,000 and increased by $48,000, when compared to the prior periods, respectively, which included the net benefit of $92,000 and $11,000, respectively, resulting from the deferral of commission expense on new business signings in the periods to contract intangible assets, net of related amortization for same. Results for prior year periods reflect the previous accounting method and have not been restated to apply the new method.

** Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to GAAP measures, this release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including, without limitation, Adjusted EBITDA (which eliminates the impact of interest, taxes, amortization, depreciation expenses, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and other non-recurring items not part of regular business, resulting in a loss for each period presented), Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) (which eliminates the impact of amortization expenses as well as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and other non-recurring items not part of TIS’ ongoing business operations) and Non-GAAP Income (Loss) per share. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures in the tables below.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to TIS’ GAAP results provided in the attached financial statements for the first and second quarters of 2018, the first six months of 2018 and the other periods presented, and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The tables below reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. TIS’ management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding TIS’ performance by excluding the impact of certain items that may not be indicative of TIS’ core business operating results. TIS’ management believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in

assessing TIS’ performance in addition to the GAAP results. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to TIS’ historical performance and its competitors’ operating results. TIS includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
