Patrick Dolan, chief executive officer of BPOMS, said, “These results, particularly the achievement of a positive EBITDA during the quarter, are important because they validate the program we had set for our initial building phase, which included three significant acquisitions in the last 12 months and the successful integration of these acquisitions into the BPOMS model. Specifically, the improved operating results are the result of the critical mass we are achieving through the successful integration and consolidation of our recent acquisitions. Additionally, they position us to continue with our aggressive growth plans. We have recorded large sales increases in all three business segments, and during the year our human resources outsourcing component has emerged as the third leg of our service offering with the acquisition of Human Resource Micro-Systems in June of last year. We were able to carefully manage our cost structure to drive leverage through our operations and significantly narrow our operating and net loss. The second quarter demonstrated clearly that we are on track in meeting our financial objectives and well on our way to establishing BPOMS as the dominant provider of BPO services to middle-market enterprises throughout North America.”
Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results
For the second quarter, revenue increased 232.0% to $7.8 million from $2.4 million in the second quarter last year. The growth for the quarter was due to a 221.4% increase in enterprise content management, to $4.3 million compared to $1.4 million in the prior-year second quarter. IT outsourcing services revenue was $2.9 million, an increase of 188.2% compared to revenue of $1.0 million last year. Human Resources outsourcing services revenue was $592,226 compared with $3,299 in the second quarter last year. In the last three years, BPOMS has acquired and integrated 10 companies in three areas of the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry: Enterprise Content Management (ECM), IT Outsourcing Services (ITO) and Human Resource Outsourcing Services (HRO). Acquisitions completed subsequent to June 21, 2007 accounted for 71% of the Company’s revenue during the quarter while revenue from the Company’s organic business or those acquired prior to June 21, 2007 accounted for 29% of revenue.
Total operating expenses for the quarter were $8.6 million, an increase of 153.9% compared to total operating expenses of $3.4 million during the second quarter last year. Included in the operating expenses was a 317.4% increase in cost of services provided. As a percent of revenue, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased to 46.0% compared to 95.2% in the prior year second quarter, demonstrating strong expense management and the inherent leverage in the Company’s business model.
The loss from operations for the quarter narrowed to $812,286 from $1.0 million in the prior-year second quarter. Included in the operating loss were depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, which in aggregate totaled $906,838 for the second quarter of 2008 and $159,153 for the second quarter of 2007. Excluding these non-cash expenses, the Company generated $94,552 in operating income during the second quarter, compared to a loss of $884,873 in the second quarter last year.
The net loss for the quarter (exclusive of a gain on foreign currency translation) was $975,784 or $(0.08) per basic and fully diluted share (based on 12.7 million shares) compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $(0.15) per basic and fully diluted share (based on 8.6 million shares) in the second quarter last year.
Year-To-Date Financial Results
Revenue for the first six months of 2008 was $15.1 million, an increase of 246.7% compared to the $4.4 million for the first half of 2007. Acquisitions completed subsequent to June 21, 2007 accounted for 73% of the Company’s revenue during the first six months of 2008 while revenue from the Company’s organic business or those acquired prior to June 21, 2007 accounted for 27% of revenue. Total operating expenses increased 180.1% to $17.6 million compared to $6.3 million for the first half of last year. Inclusive in this increase was a 305.5% increase in cost of services provided to $7.6 million from $1.9 million last year. SG&A expenses, as a percent of revenue, decreased to 52.4% from 91.3% in the first half of last year. The loss from operations for the six-month period was $2.4 million, inclusive of 1.9 million in non-cash expenses, compared to a loss from operations of $1.9 million, inclusive of $320,000 in non-cash expenses. Excluding non-cash expenses, the loss from operations for the year-to-date period narrowed to $549,478 from $1.6 million. The net loss for the first six months of 2008 (exclusive of a loss on foreign currency translation) was $2.7 million, or $(0.22) per basic and fully diluted share (based on 12.5 million shares) compared to a net loss of $2.7 million, or $(0.32) per basic and fully diluted share (based on 8.6 million shares).
As of June 30, 2008, BPOMS’ balance sheet showed $4.8 million in cash. The Company’s current ratio was 0.8:1 as of the end of the second quarter. The Company’s shareholder equity increased 9.3% to $19.2 million compared to $17.6 million as of December 31, 2007.
Mr. Dolan continued, “We expect that BPOMS will continue to benefit from the increasing demand for BPO services as middle market enterprises seek the significant economic benefits our services provide. This is especially the case in a weak economy, where middle market enterprises in particular feel its effects, and in this environment our proven return on investment and rapid implementation provide catalysts for additional business. The continuing consolidation of the smaller single-thread providers presents BPOMS with additional opportunities to meet its growth and shareholder value creation objectives through accretive acquisitions that provide us with profitable revenue, new customers in growing market verticals and additional resources with which to grow. We are also targeting certain segments, such as healthcare claims processing, as opportunities to augment our growth objectives.”
