NetWolves Reports First Quarter Financial and Operating Results
TAMPA, Fla. –Nov. 22, 2005–NetWolves Corp. (NASDAQ:WOLV), a global managed network continuity and security provider, today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005.
The company reported fiscal first quarter revenue of approximately $6.0 million, which represents a decrease of $1.1 million or 16 percent from the comparable quarter of fiscal 2005. The company reported a net loss for the first quarter of $876,336 compared to net income of $14,365 during the same period in the prior year.
Net losses attributable to common shareholders were $1.1 million or a net loss per share of $.04 during fiscal first quarter 2006, as compared to net losses attributable to common shareholders of $.4 million or a net loss of $.02 per share during the same period in the prior year.
“Since the loss of our large customer, Swift Transportation, the Company has aggressively pursued cost cutting initiatives, which included key vendor re-negotiations, staff reductions, facility consolidations, and executive pay deferments. These combined initiatives are anticipated to reduce expenses by approximately $1.5 million for the remainder of fiscal 2006. Additionally, the investments made in our sales force during third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, as well as the first quarter of fiscal 2006, have resulted in signed new business of approximately $350,000 on a monthly recurring basis or $4.2 million annualized as of September 30, 2005.
This unprecedented rate of growth is expected to continue for the next several quarters based upon current forecasts and should position the Company to become cash flow positive in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2006,” said Walter M. Groteke, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for NetWolves. Mr. Groteke further states, “We have also signed our fifth Voice over IP (VoIP) customer in the current period and see our multi-service, single vendor approach as a key factor in the successful adoption of our VoIP offering by Fortune 2000 organizations.”
The company will host a conference call on Monday, November 28 to discuss its financial and operating results. The details of the call will be released separately.
