FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – LOS ANGELES, CA, February 12, 2015
POINT.360 ANNOUNCES SECOND FISCAL QUARTER AND FIRST HALF RESULTS
Point.360 (OTCQX: PTSX), a leading provider of integrated media management services, today announced results for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014. For the quarter, the Company’s sales were $5.4 million generating a loss of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per share. The Company also reported negative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges (EBITDAN) of $0.6 million for the period.
Haig S. Bagerdjian, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said: “Reduced revenue is due principally to our exit from the inconsistent computer graphics business in fiscal 2014, pricing pressures and some work being brought “in house” by one large customer. We have adjusted our workforce and physical space requirements to better serve our customers in our evolving file-based environment. We will see the effects of these actions in coming quarters.”
Revenues
Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 totaled $5.4 million compared to $6.3 million in the same quarter last year. Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $10.5 million compared to $13.1 million last year. Declines were due primarily to lower orders by a major customer and our decision in the second quarter of the last fiscal year to terminate our inconsistent computer graphics business.
Gross Margin
In the second quarter of fiscal 2015, gross margin was $1.5 million (29% of sales), compared to $2.2 million (35% of revenues) in the prior year’s quarter. For the first half of fiscal 2015, gross margins were $2.9 million or (28% of revenues), compared to $4.2 million, or 32% of revenues in last year’s period.
Selling, General and Administrative and Other Expenses
For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, SG&A expenses were $2.7 million, or 50% of sales, compared to $2.8 million, or 45% of sales in the second quarter of last year. For the current six month period, SG&A expenses were $5.3 million (50% of sales), compared to $5.9 million (45% of sales) last year.
Interest expense was approximately $0.1 million for each of the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Other income in all periods includes sublease income and gain on sale of fixed assets.
Operating Loss
The operating loss was $1.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $0.6 million in last year’s second quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, the operating loss was $2.4 million compared to $1.6 million last year.
Net Loss
For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2015, the Company reported net losses of $1.1 million ($0.10 per share) and $2.3 million ($0.22 per share), respectively, compared to $0.6 million ($0.06 per share) and $1.6 million ($0.15 per share) in the same periods last year.

*The consolidated statements of operations, computation of EBITDAN and presentation of balance sheet statistics do not represent the results of operations or the financial position of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and are not to be considered as alternatives to the balance sheet, statement of income, operating income, net income or any other GAAP measurements as an indicator of operating performance or financial position. Not all companies calculate such statistics in the same fashion and, therefore, the statistics may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that these computations provide additional useful analytical information to investors.
