Incentra Solutions Reports 2006 Third Quarter, Nine-Month ResultsYear Over Year Services Revenues Grow 27% and 23%; Total Revenues Up More than 55%November 14, 2006 Boulder, CO, November 14, 2006 – Incentra Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: ICNS), a provider of complete IT and storage management solutions to enterprises and managed service providers in North America and Europe, today announced results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Total revenues from continuing operations in the 2006 third quarter and first nine months increased year over year 56 percent and 57 percent, respectively, as services revenue grew by 27 percent and 23 percent. Total revenues for this year’s third quarter increased to $16.1 million, from $10.3 million in the 2005 third quarter, and total revenues from continuing operations for this year’s first nine months increased to $42.5 million, up from $27.0 million in the comparable prior year period. Results from continuing operations for all periods exclude the operating results of the Company’s former Front Porch Digital Broadcast and Media business, which was sold in August.
During the quarter the Company achieved a significant milestone with the successful sale of the Front Porch Digital business in an all-cash transaction valued at $38 million. The Company recognized a gain of $15.6 million, net of tax, on the sale in this year’s third quarter. Excluded from this gain is $5 million of the sale price, which will be recognized in the future as it is earned. This transaction enabled the Company to make significant improvements on its balance sheet, including the repayment of most of its secured indebtedness. Incentra is now completely focused on the continued development and expansion of its enterprise IT and storage business.
In support of that expansion, the Company acquired Portland, OR-based Tactix, Inc., a leading solutions provider in the northwest during the quarter. Tactix revenues for 2005 were approximately $12 million. The addition of Tactix, combined with the existing northwest presence, positions Incentra as a dominant solutions provider in that region. In addition, Incentra expanded its mid-west presence with an office in Detroit whose principal customer is a large automotive company in the area.
Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney said that in addition to substantial increases in third-party product sales, the Company continued to generate increased service revenues by selling managed services, professional services, First Call and Enhanced First Call maintenance offerings. “Our strategy is to build a North American and European sales organization with an established and growing base of enterprise customers that will, first, provide a channel for the distribution of third party IT products, but second and perhaps more importantly, generate sales for our higher margin service offerings,” Sweeney said. “Based upon our third quarter results and expectations for the fourth quarter, we are on track with our previously disclosed guidance of revenue between $35 million and $40 million for the second half of 2006. I believe our year-over-year growth in 2006 clearly demonstrates that our approach is proving to be successful.”
Net income applicable to common shareholders for the 2006 third quarter was $8.1 million, or $0.60 per basic and diluted share, and the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1.0 million, or a loss of $0.07 per basic and diluted share. Net income applicable to common shareholders for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included the $15.6 million gain on the sale of Front Porch Digital.
The Company reported an EBITDA1 loss, as adjusted, for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2006, of approximately $3.1 million and $6.5 million respectively. The loss in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included significantly higher non-cash stock based compensation expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R, increased sales and marketing expenses, a reserve against a non-trade receivable and higher professional fees related to audit and legal activities.
