DecisionPoint Systems Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: DPSI), today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights

• Sales for the second quarter of 2021 were $15.2 million, lower by $0.5 million, or 3.1% from the second quarter of 2020. The variance, in lower hardware sales, was driven by a comparison to a prior year period marked by a significant hardware refresh cycle at a large customer, and supply chain issues impacting current product availability. The supply shortage is expected to continue for the remainder of 2021. The variance was partially offset by $2.9 million in revenue from ExtenData, a business we acquired in December 2020.
• Strategic staffing investments in our managed services business, made to drive planned increases in both new revenues and margin contribution, along with supply-chain related hardware cost increases, contributed to a short-term decrease in gross margins of 200 basis points.
• Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the newly included expenses of our ExtenData operations, acquired in December 2020. We plan for that acquisition to be accretive at the bottom line once the integration process is complete. EBITDA saw a comparable decrease of 54.4%, to $0.5 million, for the second quarter of 2021 versus the year ago period.

"We are pleased with our results for the first half of 2021. The comparison to the first half of 2020, which benefited from a major refresh event, was of course difficult. We're on track with plans to grow our professional services business. It reached $7.7 million, a 25% increase year-on-year. We generated cash flows from operations of $2.5 million, and further strengthened our financial position by securing a new line of credit of $9.0 million in July, reducing our interest rate to 2.75% in the process. Additionally, we strengthened our balance sheet with a reduction in a long-term debt reducing our interest expense by 242%," said Steve Smith, Chief Executive Officer. "We are seeing broad-based sales growth across our expanded portfolio of mobility-first enterprise services and solutions. We've gained momentum through the integration of recently acquired ExtenData, expanding our geographic presence into the Rocky Mountain and Southwest Regions. We plan continued expansion in professional services and will target acquisitions that broaden our geographic coverage and bring new product offerings. I remain excited by both the organic and inorganic expansion opportunities we are pursuing and am confident they will fuel strong profitable growth in the second half of 2021 and beyond."

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Combined cash and accounts receivable were $14.2 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $18.4 million at December 31, 2020. Cash provided by operations in the first half of 2021 was $2.5 million, up from $1.3 million in the first half of 2020.  Overall debt is lower by $2.4 million than at the beginning of the year. As of June 30, 2021, we had no borrowings under our line of credit.
