Lattice Incorporated Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Total revenues for the third quarter were $4,316,000, an increase of 189%from $1,495,000 reported in the comparable quarter last year. Revenues for thequarter ended September 30, 2007 include $2,034,000 attributable to RicciardiTechnologies, Inc. (RTI), an entity acquired by the company in September 2006.Disregarding the impact of that acquisition, comparable revenues increased$787,000 or 53% from Q3 '06 to Q3 '07 due to the addition of new servicecontracts and the expansion of existing contract vehicles.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total revenues increased168% to $11,213,000, compared to $4,179,000 in the first nine months of 2006.Approximately $5,080,000 of this increase is attributed to the September 2006acquisition of RTI, with additional growth of $1,954,000 from pre-existingoperations.
For the third quarter of 2007, the company reported an operating loss of$70,000 compared to operating income of $92,000 in the third quarter of 2006.Included in the most recent quarter were non-cash amortization expensesrelated to intangible assets totaling $520,000 compared to $57,000 in Q3 '06.
Net income for the quarter was $2,613,000 versus a loss of $17,273,000 inthe comparable quarter last year. Net income in the most recent quarterincluded $2,829,000 of derivative income representing a decrease in fair valueof the company's derivative liabilities. The comparable period in 2006included a non-cash derivative expense of $16,921,000 related to the sameliabilities.
Lattice CEO Paul Burgess said, "We are very pleased with the organicgrowth that we have experienced and with the impact that the acquisition ofRTI has had on our results of operations. In addition to impressive year toyear results, we realized a 16% increase in total revenues on a sequentialbasis from the second quarter of 2007, which followed an increase of 17% fromQ1 to Q2 earlier this year. Service revenues continue to increase as apercentage of our total revenues, representing 92% of the top line in thethird quarter of 2007 compared to 78% a year ago. Although we experienced somedecrease in our gross margin percentage during the most recent quarter becauseof a shift in segment mix and a recently awarded cost reimbursable contract,we continue to see solid growth year to year in the magnitude of our grossmargin contribution. We also are excited about additional potential growthopportunities we see ahead of us in the future."
