TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jagged Peak, Inc. (OTC Pink:JGPK), a leading provider of enterprise-class e-commerce software solutions and supply chain services, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 25, 2015.
Third Quarter Highlights:
- Total revenue for the 13-week period increased 13% to $17.1 million, as compared to $15.1 million for the same period last year.
- Net income for the 13-week period increased to $534.9 thousand, as compared to a net income of $371.6 thousand for the same period last year.
- October announcement of Singapore Post Limited ("SingPost") to acquire a majority stake in the Company
Revenues increased $1,995,200, or 13%, to $17,136,200 for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015, as compared to $15,141,000 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014. This increase is the result of higher e-commerce order processing volume and the Florida warehouse ("2014 warehouse") opened in late 2014 becoming fully operational. Revenues from implementation of new client sites and on-going development for existing clients were consistent across these periods.
Cost of revenue, which consists primarily of labor, fulfillment operations and facilities costs, increased by $901,100, or 7%, to $13,234,800 for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015, as compared to $12,333,700 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue was 77% for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015, as compared to 81% for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014. This decrease is primarily related to improved management of fulfillment labor utilizing less full time employees in the 2014 warehouse which became fully operational in late 2014.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,029,900, or 49%, to $3,129,600 for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015, as compared to $2,099,700 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014. This increase was related to accelerated hiring of experienced managers to support our current and expected growth, contract labor to assist with client implementations, rent expense from the 2014 warehouse, non-cash stock compensation, and legal expenses incurred in connection with the merger.
Interest expense increased by $4,800 to $61,000 for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015, as compared to $56,200 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014 due to increased working capital requirements to support revenue growth.
The Company realized income before the provision for income tax expense of $611,300 for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015, as compared to income before provision of $597,500 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014.
Income tax expense was $76,400 for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015 compared to an income tax expense of $225,900 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014. Differences between the taxable income and the effective tax rate used for 2015 and 2014, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, are primarily due to permanent differences and taxes on foreign operations. As of the quarter ended September 25, 2015 the Company has a remaining U.S. (federal and state) net operating loss carry forwards of $1,335,700, which will expire between 2031 and 2033. The Company also has a Canadian net operating loss carry forward of $2,187,800 which does not begin to expire until 2029. Management believes there will be sufficient future earnings to support the more than likely realization of deferred tax assets in excess of existing taxable temporary differences. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near-term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.
The Company realized net income of $534,900 for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015, compared with net income of $371,600 for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014.
Other income and expense consists of foreign currency gain or losses on conversion of Canadian dollars from our Canadian subsidiary to U.S. dollars. Other comprehensive income and loss is the result of changes in the value of the swap agreement to obtain a fixed interest rate and foreign currency translation gain or losses on conversion of Canadian balances to U.S. dollars.
Basic income per share from operations for the 13-week period ended September 25, 2015 was $0.03 per weighted average share, compared with basic income of $0.02 per weighted average share for the 13-week period ended September 26, 2014.
