Record Revenue of $15.7 million increased 40% YOY

MISSION VIEJO, Calif.–CynergisTek, Inc. (OTCQB: AUXO), a leading provider of Managed Print Services (MPS) and IT Security for the healthcare industry, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

“We’re pleased to announce a strong quarter, driven by solid operational execution as we have made excellent progress in implementing our new MPS contracts during 2015, which total more than $80M in five year recurring service revenue. Our team has delivered on our commitment to meet these aggressive implementation schedules and we have properly scaled the organization to meet this demand in an efficient manner,” stated Joseph J. Flynn, President and CEO. “We continue to see additional growth opportunities for MPS while the sector trends continue to be favorable for our security offerings. We are seeing increased demand for those services, evidenced by the fact that bookings were the strongest in company history for the month of October at Redspin. We remain very excited about this space.”

Financial Results for the three months ended September 30, 2015

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported revenues of $15.7M, an increase of 39.7% when compared to $11.3M reported in the third quarter of 2014. Approximately $2.7M of the increase is a result of the addition of new MPS recurring service revenue contracts. The Company added approximately $1.1M in service revenues and software subscriptions from the IT Security Solutions offerings, in addition to an increase of $0.9M in equipment revenue, compared to the same period in 2014.

Cost of revenue for the three months was $12.9M, compared to $8.7M for the same period in 2014. The increase in cost of revenue in 2015 is attributable primarily to the addition of new recurring service revenue contracts. The Company incurred approximately $1.9M in additional staffing costs, which includes contract labor, approximately $1M in additional service and supply costs, and approximately $0.2M of additional travel costs, primarily as a result of implementations for our new customers. Equipment costs increased by approximately $0.9M in 2015, primarily as a result of the increase in equipment revenues from the copier fleet refresh activities. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2015 was $2.9M, or 18.3% of revenues, compared to $2.5M or 22.6% of revenues, for the same period in 2014. As the implementation phase for many of these large contracts is completed and transitions into the maintenance phase during the next twelve months, margins are expected to improve.

Operating expenses for the third quarter were $2.3M, an increase of $0.6M compared to the third quarter of 2014. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 36.6% due to increased headcount to expand our geographical reach and support the sales effort with the newly acquired businesses. General and administrative expenses increased 33.7% to $1.6M due to integration efforts across the Security Solutions business. The Company reported operating income of $0.6M in the third quarter of 2015 compared to operating income of $0.8M in the third quarter of 2014.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015, was $0.5M, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.7M, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the same period of 2014. Excluding $0.2M in charges related to stock based compensation and $0.1M in amortization of intangibles, we achieved adjusted income from operations of $0.9M in the third quarter of 2015, compared to adjusted income from operations of $1.0M, after excluding charges of $76,000 related to stock-based compensation and $53,000 in amortization of intangibles, for the same period last year.

Paul Anthony, CFO, stated, “As we expected, margins improved over Q2 as we get closer to completing the implementations of our recent large account wins. We continue to focus on driving revenue growth, while managing the improvement in the bottom line as our service model matures within our account base.”

At September 30, 2015, the Company had $5.2M of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $1.9M. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.9M compared to $1.0M during the same period in 2014. The Company maintains a line of credit with a commercial bank for up to $2M.
