Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results
Langhorne, Pa., – May 12,
2010 – eGames, Inc. (
Comments:
"The solid performance of our titles at North
American retail stores led by Mystery Legends®: Sleepy Hollow, Hidden Relics, 4
Elements™, and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, combined with an improved gross
profit and reduced operating expenses, are factors that we continued to build
upon during the third quarter of the fiscal year,” said
“We
recently launched our first social game application, Burger Island®, on Sonico,
the Latin American social network that helps people organize their lives
online, and on the Orkut® online community, the leading social network in
FINANCIAL DISCUSSION:
Three Months ended March 31, 2010:
Net revenues increased by $252,000,
or 29%, to $1,124,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to $872,000
for the comparative quarter a year earlier.
The $252,000 increase in net revenues resulted from increases in North
American traditional product revenues, product liquidation revenues and
licensing revenues, which revenue increases were partially offset by a decrease
in Internet revenues.
Net income was $20,000, or nil per
diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net loss of
$217,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the comparative quarter a year
earlier. This $237,000 improvement in profitability for the
quarter ended March 31, 2010 resulted from:
·
a $130,000
increase in gross profit due to a 29% improvement in net revenues, partially
offset by a 2% decline in gross profit margin traceable to increased low-margin
product liquidation shipments, and
·
a $107,000
decrease in operating expenses related to:
o
an $84,000
reduction in product development expenses; and
o
a $23,000
decrease in other operating expenses.
Nine Months ended March 31, 2010:
Net revenues increased by $140,000,
or 5%, to $2,862,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $2,722,000
for the similar nine-month period a year earlier. This $140,000 increase in net revenues
resulted from increases in North American traditional product revenues and
licensing revenues, which revenue increases were partially offset by decreases
in Internet revenues and product liquidation revenues.
Net income was $36,000, or nil per
diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, compared to a net loss
of $1,071,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31,
2009. This $1,107,000
improvement in profitability for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was due to:
·
a $169,000
increase in gross profit due to a 3% improvement in gross profit margin on
higher net revenues,
·
an $893,000
decrease in operating expenses related to:
o
$637,000
of reductions in product development expenses;
o
$150,000
in expense recovery associated with previously written down game properties;
and
o
$106,000
in other operating expense savings;
·
a $47,000
federal income tax benefit, and
·
a
$2,000 reduction in interest income.
