TORONTO, May 6 /CNW/ - Cyberplex Inc. (TSX: CX), one of North America's
leading technology solutions firms, today announced financial results for its
first quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Revenue for the first quarter was $2.26 million, consistent with the
$2.29 million in the previous quarter, and up from the $2.20 million recorded
during the same period a year ago.
Earnings before amortization and interest income of $299,000 were
positive for the tenth consecutive quarter. While this was down from the
$361,000 generated last quarter and the $466,000 realized during the same
period a year ago, it is in line with the Company's expectations as we invest
in the growth of our emerging application management business. The Company
posted positive net income for the eighth consecutive quarter of $255,000, or
$0.01 per share.
Gross margin for the quarter was 50% and the Company's top 5 clients
accounted for approximately 70% of the quarterly revenue with 53% of the
revenue derived from clients in the United States. Cyberplex ended the quarter
with over $5 million in cash and its DSO's were at 84 days.
Application management is a rapidly growing sector that addresses the
difficulty that many organizations have with ensuring that their application
portfolios are properly monitored and maintained. Outsourcing an entire
application has proven ineffective, and as a result companies are looking for
alternatives. "We are excited to be providing a solution to this growing
problem and are encouraged by the customer response. We believe that the
recurring nature of the revenue is an excellent compliment to our professional
services base", said Dean Hopkins, Chief Executive Officer of Cyberplex.
"After a strong year in 2004 and a good start to 2005, we are excited
about the opportunities that lie ahead." said Geoffrey Rotstein, Chief
Financial Officer of Cyberplex. "As we continue to enhance our business model
and invest in our marketing and brand recognition efforts, we will continue to
seek out value creating acquisitions to help expand our value proposition."
