For Release at 4:30 PM EDT
Pittsburgh, PA: Allin Corporation (OTCBB: ALLN), an information technology consulting company, today reported results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003.
For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, revenue was $3.0 million and $9.8 million, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $9.5 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The Company recorded a net loss attributable to common shareholders in the amount of $13,000 ($0.00 per share) and net income attributable to common shareholders of $338,000 ($0.04 per share - diluted) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $16,000 ($0.00 per share - diluted) and a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $362,000 ($0.05 per share) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively.
“During this difficult period for technology consulting companies, the Company has worked hard to continue to enhance its reputation in every market it serves,” stated Rich Talarico, Allin’s chief executive officer. “We are encouraged by the revenue results we have been able to achieve this year in our E-Business Solution Area, which recorded a 27% increase in revenue through nine months. We believe the strong performance in this area is a testament to our diligence in maintaining our marketing visibility and retaining all of our senior-level staff. Due to this diligence, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of any rebound in technology infrastructure spending. At the same time, we continue to be the leader in interactive television in the cruise industry with 27 systems operating and four contracted to be implemented and with our recent announcement of an enhanced solution for operators of smaller vessels.”
The Company recorded an overall revenue decline of 7.5% comparing the three months ended September 30, 2003 with the same period of the prior year. Comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2003 with the nine months ended September 30, 2002, consolidated revenue has grown by 3%. The growth between these periods was led by improvement in the E-Business Solution Area, which recorded a 27% increase to $2.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The Interactive Media Solution Area recorded a 9% increase in revenue, comparing these same periods, to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Reducing the overall growth in consolidated revenue were the Technology Infrastructure Solution Area and Outsourced Services. The Technology Infrastructure Solution Area continues to be affected by the lack of growth in investment in technology hardware as the Company’s solutions in this area often specify the acquisition of new hardware. Outsourced Services revenue continued a long-term decline as the Company continues to concentrate on the higher margin areas of its business. Outsourced Services constitutes only 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenue on a year-to-date basis through September 30, 2003.
The Company recorded improved gross profit for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, posting increases of 5% and 17%, respectively.
The Company recorded a 4% increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2002. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 declined 2% compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Business Outlook
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements.
The Company estimates that revenue in the fourth quarter of 2003 will be in the range of $2.8 million to $3.0 million. The Company anticipates that revenue for the full year 2003 will be in the range of $12.5 million to $12.8 million. This is slightly lower than the full year estimate provided at the end of the second quarter as revenue from certain Interactive Media projects is now expected to be recorded in the first quarter of 2004 and revenue estimates have been lowered for the fourth quarter in the Company’s E-Business and Technology Infrastructure Solutions Areas due to continued sluggishness in the Northern California technology market place.
The Company anticipates a net loss attributable to common shareholders of between $250,000 ($0.04 per common share) and $400,000 ($0.06 per common share) in the fourth quarter of 2003. The Company anticipates that its bottom line results after preferred dividends for the full year 2003 will range from break even ($0.00 per share) to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $100,000 ($0.01 per common share).
