Radiant Systems, Inc. Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2003

 

Company strengthens strategic position with disposition of unprofitable operating unit and acquisition of Aloha Technologies, Inc.

 

ATLANTA—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 25, 2004—Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS - News), a leading provider of systems for managing site operations of retail and hospitality businesses, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Summary financial results for the fourth quarter are as follows:

 

  Total revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003 were $26.7 million, a decrease of 35% over revenues of $41.2 million for the same period in 2002.

 

  Net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003, was $5.4 million, or $.19 per diluted share, a decrease of $7.3 million, or $.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002.

 

  Adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003, which excludes asset impairment charges, was $4.5 million, or $.16 per diluted share, a decrease of $6.4 million, or $.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002.

 

  The Store Systems business unit contributed revenue of approximately $22.2 million and an adjusted operating loss of approximately $800,000 compared to revenue of $23.4 million and adjusted operating loss of $300,000 for the period ended September 30, 2003.

 

During the quarter, the Company wrote-off approximately $535,000 of capitalized software as an expense to cost of goods sold and $420,000 of lease obligations as an operating expense. In addition, the Company took a charge of $1.2 million to fully reserve it’s deferred tax assets due to the losses incurred over the past twelve months and uncertainty of the Company’s ability to fully utilize tax benefits in the future.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, total revenues were $111.8 million with a net loss of $47.7 million, or $1.71 per diluted share. The Company had an adjusted net loss of $12.2 million or $.44 per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company reported revenues of $146.2 million with a net income of $6.5 million, or $.23 per diluted share.


The Company provides adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted net (loss)/income per share in this press release as additional information of the Company’s operating results. The measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”) and may be different from net income and per share measures used by other companies. Net (loss)/income has been adjusted to exclude the effects of the impairment of certain intangible assets. The Company believes that this presentation of adjusted net (loss)/income and adjusted net (loss)/income per share provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

John Heyman, the Company’s chief executive officer commented, “We are optimistic that we will deliver significantly improved operating results in 2004. We have divested our Enterprise business unit, which had a material negative impact on our operating profits, cash and strategic focus. Additionally, our acquisition of Aloha Technologies, which we completed in January of 2004, immediately strengthens our stable of products to sell across our industries, creates an exceptionally strong channel to provide the market reach we require and enhances our management team to better serve our customers and shareholders. We anticipate these actions, combined with improving market activity and the operational successes we had throughout 2003, will translate into much better financial results this year.”

 

Business highlights for the fourth quarter of 2003 include:

 

  Expansion into new countries with multi-national operators

 

  Delivered significant credit card marketing and loyalty functionality to a major oil company in Southeast Asia.

 

  Installed 300th Kroger grocery fueling site

 

  Installed 600th Circle K convenience store location

 

  Rolled out gift card functionality to 300 Holiday Station Store locations

 

  Completed the first chain-wide rollout of the Company’s advanced concession solution at a top exhibitor

 

  Piloted the Outdoor Kiosk and Concessions at Kiosk products which will be released in the first quarter

 

  Implemented new pilots of our customer self service product

 

  Released the P1550 point-of-sale hardware terminal

 

  Continued the rollout AFC Restaurants with 200 live sites

 

  Implemented new brand marketing programs for food service operators

 

Mark Haidet, the Company’s chief financial officer commented, “The decline in the overall financial results for the quarter is primarily attributable to operational losses in the Enterprise segment as well as the impact of the business transition we have managed through. We continue to stay disciplined with our cost structure and have maintained a strong balance sheet to support our growth. Our working capital has remained strong with $33.8 million in cash at the end of the fourth quarter and we have maintained solid Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO’s”) of 64 days for the quarter.”

 

For 2004 the Company expects revenue in the range of $120 million to $130 million with earnings per share in the range of $.17 to $.26 excluding amortization of acquisition


related intangibles and discontinued operations. These estimates are on a pro-forma basis, excluding the operations of the Enterprise segment and including the operations of Aloha Technologies.

 

Mr. Haidet added, “We believe that the 2004 results will show marked improvement over 2003 as our core business strategy continues to evolve. While our corporate development activities have resulted in some short-term market impact, these transactions are now complete and have been well received by our markets. Thus, we anticipate increased business activity as the year progresses. Given this and normal cyclical spending patterns, we expect to have near breakeven profits in the first quarter with positive cash generation from operations and for earnings to pick up consistently throughout the remainder of the year.”

 

On January 14, 2004, Radiant announced that it completed the acquisition of Aloha Technologies, a leading provider of point-of-sale systems for the hospitality industry, and certain affiliated entities of Aloha. The consideration paid to Aloha consisted of $11 million in cash, a five-year note in the principal amount of $19 million (subject to a post-closing adjustment), a one-year note in the principal amount of $1.7 million, 2,353,846 shares of restricted Radiant common stock and the assumption of Aloha’s accounts payable, contractual obligations and certain other liabilities. On January 31, 2004, Radiant announced the completion of the divestiture of its enterprise software business, now known as BlueCube Software, to Erez Goren, the Company’s former Co-Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, Radiant contributed specified assets and liabilities of the enterprise software business, together with approximately $4.0 million in cash, to the newly formed subsidiary, and then transferred all of the shares of the new company to Erez Goren in exchange for the redemption of 2.0 million shares of common stock of the Company held by Mr. Goren. The shares redeemed represented approximately 7.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

 

Radiant will hold its fourth quarter 2003 conference call today at approximately 5 p.m. eastern daylight time. This call is being webcast and can be accessed at Radiant Systems’ web site at http://ir.ccbn.com/ir.zhtml?t=rads&s=2100.
