Press Release: Document Security Systems, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Document Security Systems, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE American: DSS) ("DSS", a leader in anti-counterfeit, authentication, and diversion protection technologies whose products and solutions are used by governments, corporations and financial institutions to defeat fraud and to help ensure product authenticity, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

"I am very pleased with the strong start to 2019. During the first quarter we saw the benefits of our printed products group's efforts to expand its capabilities in addressing new customers' needs, as their revenue increased by 11%. In addition, while overall technology sales declined slightly, our AuthentiGuard(TM) revenue grew by 30% during the quarter," stated Frank Heuszel, CEO of DSS. "Furthermore, the Company has proactively initiated significant measures in the second quarter to reduce operating costs as we fine-tune our product offerings which we feel will result in measurably improved financial performance for the remainder of 2019. We are looking forward to providing additional updates regarding our authentication and brand protection technologies in the near future," added Heuszel.

First Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights

-- Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 increased 10% to $4.8 million from

$4.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. Printed Products revenue

increased 11% while Technology sales decreased by 2%.

-- Net Loss during the first quarter of 2019 was approximately $450,000

($0.03 per share), as compared to a net loss of approximately $406,000

($0.02 per share) during the first quarter of 2018.

-- Costs and expenses for the first quarter totaled $5.2 million, an

increase of 11% from $4.7 million during the same period of 2018, driven

by increases in costs of goods sold which was primarily due an increase

in material costs and outside services costs at the Company's printed

products group, along with an increase in professional fees primarily

driven by increase in IP litigation legal activity.

-- The Company recorded an Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $94,000 for the first

quarter of 2019 as compared to positive Adjusted EBITDA of $15,000 for

the first quarter of 2018. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by

increased cost of sales for the printed products group.

(1) ADJUSTED EBITDA

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial performance measurement. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by adding back to net income (loss): interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and impairment charges as further adjusted to add back stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA is provided to investors to supplement the results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing the Company's financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which also use Adjusted EBITDA in their communications to investors. By excluding non-cash charges such as amortization, depreciation, stock-based compensation and impairment charges, as well as non-operating charges for interest and income taxes, investors can evaluate the Company's operations and its ability to generate cash flows from operations and can compare its results on a more consistent basis to the results of other companies in the industry. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to establish internal budgets and goals, and evaluate performance of its business units and management, and evaluate potential acquisitions. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of the Company's operational strength and performance of its business and a useful measure of the Company's historical and prospective operating trends. However, there are significant limitations to the use of Adjusted EBITDA since it excludes interest income and expense and income taxes and non-recurring items such as goodwill impairments, each of which impact the Company's profitability and operating cash flows, as well as depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and stock-based compensation. The Company believes that these limitations are compensated by clearly identifying the difference between the two measures. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income and loss presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Company may not be comparable with similarly named measures provided by other entities. The following is a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA income (loss):
