WAYSIDE TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. REPORTS 2012 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS AND DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
· Revenue: $66.9 million, up 30% year-over-year
· Income from operations $1.6 million, up 22% year-over-year
· $.16 quarterly dividend declared
SHREWSBURY, NJ, April 26, 2012 Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTG) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012. The results will be discussed in a conference call to be held on Friday, April 27, 2012 at 10:00 AM Eastern time. The dial-in telephone number is (866) 238-1422 and the pass code is WSTG.
This conference call will be available via live webcast in listen-mode only at www.earnings.com. A replay will also be available on the companys website at www.waysidetechnology.com.
Cash and marketable securities amounted to $14.8 million, representing 50% of equity as of March 31, 2012.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2012 increased 30% to $66.9 million compared to $51.5 million for the same period in 2011. Total sales for the first quarter of 2012 for our TechXtend segment (formerly Programmers Paradise segment) were $17.6 million compared to $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, representing a 47% increase. Total sales for the first quarter of 2012 for our Lifeboat segment were $49.3 million compared to $39.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, representing a 25% increase.
We grew substantially in the first quarter of 2012. Both TechXtend and Lifeboat Distribution performed very well. We monitor our gross margins, both in dollars and as a percentage of sales, said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our competition lowered their prices significantly in the first quarter of this year, and we responded immediately. As a result, product gross margins, and rebates and discounts that are elements of overall profitability for the Company, were negatively impacted this quarter. We cannot currently quantify the precise impact on 2012 as a whole; however, we do anticipate that gross margins and discounts and rebates earned for the remainder of this year will be affected by the current trend. Despite this challenge, we remain excited about the overall growth opportunities in our markets.
The 30% increase in net sales in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2011 was mainly a result of our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business, the addition of several key product lines, and the strengthening of our account penetration.
Gross Profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $5.6 million compared to $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2011, representing a 15% increase. Total gross profit for our TechXtend segment was $1.8 million compared to $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2011, representing a 26% increase. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $3.8 million compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2011, representing an 11% increase. This increase in gross profit was mainly due to the sales volume growth.
Vendor rebates and discounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $0.3 million compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. Vendor rebates are dependent on reaching certain targets set by our vendors.
Total gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the first quarter of 2012 was 8.3%, compared to 9.4% in the first quarter of 2011.
The increase in gross profit dollars and the decrease in gross profit margins as a percentage of net sales were primarily caused by the increased competitive pricing pressure in both segments and by winning several large bids based on aggressive pricing, which we plan to continue. The downward pricing pressure increased significantly in the first quarter of this year. As a result, product gross margins, and the rebates and discounts that are important elements of overall profitability for the Company, were negatively impacted this quarter. Although we cannot currently quantify the precise impact on 2012 as a whole, we do anticipate that gross margins and discounts and rebates earned for the remainder of this year will be negatively affected by the current trend.
Total selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $4.0 million compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2011, which was mainly the result of a increase in employee and employee-related expenses (salaries, commissions, bonus accruals and benefits). As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were 6.0% compared to 6.8% for the first quarter of 2011.
On April 24, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.16 per share of its common stock payable May17, 2012 to shareholders of record on May 7, 2012.
