VillageEDOCS' Revenues and Gross Profit for Q2 Each Up 26% from Q2 of 2006
SANTA ANA, California - August 20, 2007 - VillageEDOCS (OTCBB:
VEDO)
announced today its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
"We are pleased to report revenue of $3,812,925 for the second quarter
of 2007 that resulted in $264,400 in aggregate net income from our
revenue-producing business units, excluding the cost of operating the
corporate segment. For the first half of 2007, we achieved revenue of
$7,633,135 that resulted in $702,911 in aggregate net income from our
revenue-producing business units, excluding the cost of operating the
corporate segment. Our net loss for the first half of 2007 of $979,837
included non-cash depreciation and amortization charges of $472,605 and
non-cash stock option vesting expenses of $454,486. Because of our
current size, these charges represent a significant percentage of our
total operating expenses, which is why we believe it is useful to point
them out to readers of our financial statements," said Mason Conner,
Chief Executive Officer of VillageEDOCS.
Key Items for First Half of 2007:
-
Consolidated net revenue for the first half of 2007 increased by 50%
over the 2006 period to $7,633,135 due to a 24% increase from Tailored
Business Systems (TBS), an 8% increase from Resolutions, a 3% increase
from MessageVision (MVI), and the consolidation of $3,019,136 of net
revenue of GoSolutions (GSI) which we acquired on May 1, 2006;
-
Although operating expenses increased during the first half of 2007
compared to the 2006 period, the most significant factor in the overall
increase was the addition of $1,592,147 in operating expenses of GSI
(six months in the 2007 period compared to two months in the 2006
period). Consolidated operating expenses during the 2007 period were
74% of sales compared to 75% of sales in the 2006 period;
-
Operating expenses decreased at TBS (-36%) and Resolutions (-29%).
These decreases were offset by increases at MVI (+31%) and Corporate
(+70%);
-
Net income increased significantly at TBS to $113,587 compared to a net
loss for the first half of 2006;
-
Resolutions reported net income of $186,172 for the first half of 2007
compared to a net loss for the first half of 2006;
-
GSI contributed $169,685 of net income for the first half of 2007.
-
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $979,837 included
depreciation and amortization of $472,605, stock option vesting expense
of $454,486, net interest expense of $58,107, net other expense of
$54,339, and tax expense of $26,072.
"We continue to strive for growth and profit and we believe we are well on our way to making 2007 the strongest year in our history," added Mr. Conner.
Net revenue from external customers for the three months ended June 30,
2007 was $3,812,925, a 26% increase over net revenue for the prior year
quarter of $3,034,092.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, TBS generated 25% of our net
revenue, MVI generated 20% of our net revenue, GSI generated 42% of our
net revenue, and Resolutions generated 13% of our net revenue. During
the three months ended June 30, 2006, TBS generated 25% of our net
revenue, MVI generated 25% of our net revenue, GSI generated 33% of our
net revenue, and Resolutions generated 17% of our net revenue.
The increase of $778,833 in the 2007 quarter resulted from a 61%
increase in revenue from GSI, a 29% increase from TBS, and an 8%
decrease from Resolutions.
As anticipated, the most significant factor in the increase in
consolidated revenue during the second quarter of 2007 was the
consolidation of a full three months of revenue of GSI compared to two
months during 2006 (acquired May 1, 2006).
Revenue increased 29% at TBS, decreased 8% at Resolutions, and
increased nominally at MVI as compared to the prior year quarter.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 26% to
$2,430,276 as compared to $1,921,301 for the 2006 quarter.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased
by 25% to $2,793,861 from the $2,227,078 reported in the 2006 quarter.
Of the total increase of $566,783, $179,960, $548,276 and $139,617 are
attributable to increases in operating expenses of Corporate, GSI and
MVI, respectively, as offset by decreases of $186,616 and $114,454 from
TBS and Resolutions, respectively. The increase at GSI resulted from
additional non-recurring compensation expense as well as the impact of
comparing three full months in the 2007 quarter to two months in the
2006 quarter (we acquired GSI effective May 1, 2006).
As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported an operating loss
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $363,585, compared to an
operating loss of $305,777 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
TBS, Resolutions, and GSI each reported significant improvements in
operating income (loss). However, these improvements were offset by
reduced operating income at MVI and increased operating loss of the
Corporate segment resulting from increased amortization expense and
stock option vesting expense as compared to the 2006 quarter.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $477,075, or
$0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $356,693, or $0.00 per
share, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 on weighted average
shares of 149,309,799 and 146,535,158, respectively.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 included depreciation
and amortization of $236,114, stock option vesting expense of $227,911,
net interest expense of $29,768, net other expense of $61,760, and tax
expense of $21,962.
