Support.com Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
 
SUNNYVALE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2019 / Support.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPRT), a full-spectrum leader in outsourced call center and direct-to-consumer technical support solutions, today reported unaudited GAAP financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.
 
Q2 2019 Financial Summary
 
For the second quarter of 2019, total revenue was $16.7 million, a decrease of 4 percent compared to revenues of $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 and down 8 percent compared to revenues of $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease in revenue from the first quarter primarily reflects lower billable hours with our major customers but was somewhat offset by new subscriber growth.
 
We recorded net income for the second quarter of 2019 of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2018 and net income of $1.4 million, or $0.08 per share, in the first quarter of 2019.
 
Key changes in our net income/(loss) included the following:
 
●
Gross profit increased by $1.0 million in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2018, and decreased by $0.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2019.
 
●
Our gross profit margin increased by 7 percent compared with the same quarter of 2018 and increased by 1 percentage point relative to the first quarter of 2019.
 
●
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2019 were $3.4 million, as compared with $2.8 million of operating expenses in the second quarter of 2018 and $3.0 million of operating expenses in the first quarter of 2019.
 
●
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2019 include $0.3 million of legal charges not directly related to our ongoing business operations.
 
Balance Sheet Information
 
At June 30, 2019, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $43.2 million as compared with $48.0 million at March 31, 2019, and $49.6 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash reflects the $10 million payment to the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) on April 1, 2019, as a part of the previously disclosed settlement negotiations. This decrease in cash was offset by earnings and a reduction in working capital.
 
Total assets as of June 30, 2019, were $57.1 million and total shareholders’ equity was $50.3 million.
