FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ref. #NRE2007-06
MONTREAL, February 27, 2007 — TECSYS Inc. (TSX: TCS), an industry-leading Supply Chain Management software company announced today its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 ended January 31st, 2007. All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. currency and reported in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with a reconciliation to the United States GAAP, and are unaudited. All comparable figures for the prior periods have been restated as per TECSYS' August 15th, 2006 press release.
Highlights for the third quarter include:
Peter Brereton, President and CEO of TECSYS Inc. commented on the results: “We made significant progress during the quarter on a number of fronts. Operating and net income improved substantially. We have generated $730K cash from operations, bringing our cash position to $4.6M and eliminated our long term debt with a final repayment of $412K. We also reduced our DSO (Day’s Sales Outstanding) substantially to 74 days from 88 days at the end of this year’s 2nd quarter. Our customers continue to invest in our products and services and we won some great new accounts during the quarter as well. In summary, this was a solid quarter, and we remain committed to continuing the transformation of TECSYS with a focus on profitability and growth.”
Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased by 17% to $7.9M compared to $9.5M in the same period of fiscal year 2006. Earnings from operations for the reporting quarter were $256K compared to net loss from operations of $6K for the same period in the previous fiscal year. Net earnings for the quarter were $436K or $0.03 per share compared to net loss of $222K or $0.02 per share for the same period in last fiscal year.
For the nine months ended January 31st, 2007, revenue decreased 12% to $23.3M compared to $26.4M in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Loss from operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 was $644K and includes two major elements: $234K restructuring charges that took effect in the second quarter, and $380K due to the continuing strengthening of the Canadian dollar of approximately 6% compared to the same period of last fiscal year. Earnings from operations for the comparable period in fiscal year 2006 were $115K. After accounting for an exchange gain of $163K, net interest income of $113K and a net share of loss and amortization of intangible assets of $61K from a company in which TECSYS has an equity interest, net loss for the nine months of fiscal year 2007 was $429K or $0.03 per share compared to net loss of $174K or $0.01 per share for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
