  Q2 2014 :
Revenue: $84.4 million
Income from operations: $2.2 million
Net income: $1.5 million
Diluted earnings per share: $0.31 per share
   
Dividend declared - $0.17 per share 

Wayside Technology Group, Inc. ( NASDAQ : WSTG ) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. The results will be discussed in a conference call to be held on Friday, July 25, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The dial-in telephone number is (866) 846-7864 and the pass code is "WSTG." This conference call will be webcast by NASDAQ OMX and can be accessed at Wayside Technology's Web site at www.waysidetechnology.com/earnings-call .

"I am pleased to report solid financial results for Q2 2014. Overall, revenue increased 14% and gross profit increased 3% over the same period last year," said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Cash and long term receivables amounted to $25.1 million, representing 66% of equity as of June 30, 2014. Working capital amounted to $27.2 million, representing 71% of equity as of June 30, 2014.

Net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased 14% or $10.3 million to $84.4 million compared to $74.1 million for the same period in 2013. Total sales for the second quarter of 2014 for our Lifeboat Distribution segment were $70.0 million compared to $61.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, representing an increase of $8.8 million or 14%. Total sales for the second quarter of 2014 for our TechXtend segment were $14.4 million compared to $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2013, representing an increase of $1.5 million or 12%.

The 14% increase in net sales for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was mainly a result of the strengthening of our account penetration, our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business and the addition of several key product lines. The 12% increase in net sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due an increase in extended payment terms sales transactions as compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Gross Profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $6.1 million, a 3% increase as compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2013. Gross profit for our Lifeboat segment in the second quarter of 2014 was $4.6 million compared to $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, representing a 2% increase. Gross profit for our TechXtend segment of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 was essentially flat as compared to the second quarter of 2013. 

Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 was 7.3% compared to 8.1% for the second quarter of 2013. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 7.5% compared to 8.1% in the same period in 2013. Gross profit margin for our Lifeboat segment for the second quarter of 2014 was 6.6% compared to 7.4% for the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross profit margin for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was primarily caused by competitive pricing pressure. Gross profit margin for our TechXtend segment for the second quarter of 2014 was 10.6% compared to 11.3% for the second quarter of 2013. The decrease in gross profit margin for the TechXtend segment was primarily caused by the increase in larger extended payment term sales transactions which typically carry lower margins.

The Company monitors gross profits and gross profit margins carefully. Price competition in our market persisted in 2014. We anticipate that margins, as well as discounts and rebates, will continue to be under pressure in the near future.

Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $4.0 million compared to $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2013. 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $839,000 or 36.1% of income, compared to $773,000 or 33.4% of income for the same period in 2013.

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2014 were $1.5 million and $0.31, respectively, compared to $1.5 million and $0.34, respectively, for the second quarter of 2013. 

On July 22, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.17 per share of its common stock payable August 15, 2014 to shareholders of record on August 6, 2014.
