Pro forma Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Results
Revenue
On a pro forma basis, revenue for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 was $14.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2014, pro forma revenue was $59.0 million.
Gross Margin
For the fourth quarter, the pro forma gross profit margin was 10% of pro forma revenue. The gross margin for the fourth quarter was lower due to personnel focused on integrating the BCS acquisition, rather than closing sales. The company has largely completed the integration and reallocated these resources, with margins expected to improve in future periods, returning to the 20-24% level. For the full year, the pro forma gross profit margin was 17.1% of pro forma revenue. For the year, the Company recorded approximately $1.3 million in non-cash expense in the cost of goods sold, related to an expense the Quest subsidiary booked as a private company that accrual based accounting required the Company to expense over the course of January through November, 2014. Excluding this non-recurring expense, gross margin for the full year of 2014 on a pro forma basis would have been 19.3%.
Net Income
For the fourth quarter, the pro forma net income was approximately $1.5 million. For the full year, the pro forma net income was $3.4 million. Pro forma net income excludes several non-recurring items including for the full year approximately $1.3 million in non-cash expense related to an expense the Quest subsidiary booked as a private company that accrual based accounting required the Company to expense, $800,000 in non-cash accounting interest on debt resulting from recent acquisitions, $336,000 of stock-based compensation expense and approximately $113,000 of non-cash write offs from the 2013 licenses related to a prior unrelated business of the company.
EBITDA
On a pro forma basis, the combined entity's operating expenses during both quarters ended December 31, 2014 included non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization of acquisition intangibles and stock-based compensation for employee and director stock options. Without the effect of these non-cash expenses, the pro forma Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"
for the year ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $2.2 million. Please refer to the financial tables included below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results.
Balance Sheet Summary
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had deferred tax assets of approximately $1.3 million which included net operating loss ("NOLs" carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $11.6 million, and are available to offset future taxable income, if any. The NOLs begin to expire in 2021. This deferred tax asset created a gain on the financial statements of the company.
In the Fourth Quarter 2014, the Company issued 1,319,079 restricted common stock shares to settle $609,250 of outstanding debt (at $0.46 per share) with certain officers of the Company.
Backlog
The Company's backlog of signed, contracted orders at December 31, 2014 was $3.0 million. The backlog reflects orders expected to be delivered during the first two quarters of 2015.
