Top Image Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results TEL

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems, Ltd. (TIS) (Nasdaq: TISA ), a leading ECM (Enterprise Content Management) intelligent content capture, workflow and delivery and mobile payments solutions provider, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Dr. Ido Schechter, CEO of Top Image Systems, commented, "The launch of our state-of-the-art, web-enabled eFLOW®5 platform, coupled with our revamped sales structure, has enabled us to deploy a Software as a Service (SaaS)-based business model that is in line with evolving customer expectations and better matches the economic challenges in Europe. This model helps our customers reduce up-front capital expenditures and provides more predictable expenses throughout the life of the agreement, and as such, we believe this will help Top Image to more rapidly capture market share. While the revenue is recognized in smaller incremental amounts spread out over several quarters, the business model itself provides us with a steady and stable stream of predictable revenue, and it provides investors with an important metric - recurring revenue. We are confident that the wider deployment of this business model, coupled with the ongoing strength we see in the U.S. market, will greatly contribute towards a strong second half of 2013."

Second Quarter 2013 Highlights include:

• Revenue for the quarter was $6.4 million;
• Recurring revenue from maintenance was $2.0 million, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2012;
• Recognized SaaS Revenues of $171,000, representing contracts of 12 – 24 months in duration;
• Partnered with K2 and Amazon Web Services and with Feith to offer joint capture and workflow solutions to Oracle users in the U.S.;
• Officially launched eFLOW5, Top Image's next-generation web-enabled multichannel capture & workflow platform, including hosting first launch events in New York and London;
• Signed eFLOW INVOICE AP Automation and Digital Mailroom agreements with several well-known Swiss companies;
• Reached targeted Phase I sales headcount for U.S. and achieved stated U.S. strategic targets according to plan.

Dr. Schechter continued, "In the short term, current economic conditions outside the U.S. have had strong impact on the purchasing behavior of enterprises, including that of some of our target customers. The slowdown has caused delays in closing sales in Southern Europe and in the UK. However, our sales pipeline, particularly in the U.S., continues to expand and we expect to convert a high percentage of this potential business. We also expect that our investment in the U.S. will deliver meaningful revenue in 2013."

Dr. Schechter continued, "In June we released our latest platform, eFLOW5, which received very positive feedback from analysts, customers and prospects. We are deeply invested in carrying out multifaceted sales of mobile and core enterprise capture and process automation solutions, both in the U.S. and in many deals around the globe. We have supported the launch of this innovative solution by participating in many exhibitions and other marketing events, as well as developing important partnerships with technology leaders such as Amazon Web Services, complementary solution providers like K2 and Feith, as well as with more and more BPOs. Furthermore, we are investing in patents on new innovative technologies and we are implementing our global product distribution strategy, which is helping us share knowledge and expand our business capabilities and potential in all geographies. These activities, and especially our investment in the high-growth potential mobile market, will result in growing the company, both in terms of the extent of our business activities and in terms of our overall value."

Dr. Schechter added, "We are optimistic and pleased by the sales activities executed by our team, especially in mobile and in the U.S., and we feel certain that we will see improvement in revenue in the second half of 2013."

Second Quarter 2013 Year over Year Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $6.4 million, compared to $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP operating loss was $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to Non-GAAP operating income of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP net loss was $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to Non-GAAP net income of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP diluted loss per share was $0.06 for the second quarter of 2013 compared to Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.10 for the second quarter of 2012.

2013 Outlook

Concluded Dr. Schechter, "A realistic evaluation of current market conditions and the impact of our new business model, which results in revenue recognition spread out over several quarters rather than upfront license revenues, warrants reconsideration of our full-year 2013 guidance. Management remains confident in our long-term profitability, and we are increasingly optimistic regarding our overall sales activity, particularly in the U.S. We continue to expect overall improvement in the second half of 2013 and look forward to significant top- and bottom-line improvement in 2014, based on expanded contribution from our U.S. sales efforts and from our SaaS model. As these strategic changes take hold, and our visibility improves, we will revisit our guidance policy."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including, without limitation, Non-GAAP Operating Income (which details amortization expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses), and Non-GAAP Net Income (which details the impact of amortization expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses). Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures in the tables entitled "GAAP and Non-GAAP Statements of Operations".

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as an addition to TIS's GAAP results provided in the attached financial statements for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The attached tables reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. TIS's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding TIS's performance by excluding the impact of certain charges and gains that may not be indicative of TIS's core business operating results. TIS management believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing TIS's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to TIS's historical performance and its competitors' operating results. TIS includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
