Park City Group, d/b/a ReposiTrak, Revenue Increases 7%, Net Income Increases 7%, and Earnings Per Share Increases 17%, for Fiscal 2024 First Quarter
Board Increases Quarterly Cash Dividend by 10% to 6.6 Cents Per Share Annually
SALT LAKE CITY, November 14, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Park City Group, Inc., d/b/a ReposiTrak (NYSE: TRAK), the world's largest food traceability and regulatory compliance network, built upon its proven inventory management and out-of-stock reduction SaaS platform, today announced financial results for the first fiscal quarter ("FQ1 2024") ended September 30, 2023.
First Quarter Financial Highlights:
First quarter total revenue increased 7% to $5.1 million from $4.7 million.
Recurring revenue increased 8%, net of the planned elimination of high-touch, low-opportunity revenue, to $5.0 million from $4.7 million, representing approximately 99.7% of total revenue.
Quarterly operating expense increased 11% to $3.9 million from $3.5 million, representing primarily one-time investment in sales and marketing to raise awareness about the FDA mandate and the ReposiTrak Traceability Network solution.
Quarterly operating income decreased 2% to $1.2 million from $1.2 million last year.
Quarterly GAAP net income increased 7% to $1.4 million from $1.3 million last year.
Quarterly net income to common shareholders was $1.2 million, up 8% from $1.1 million last year.
Quarterly EPS of $0.07, up 17% from $0.06 last year.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased 155,025 shares at an average price of $8.53 for a total of $1.3 million.
The Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend, to 6.6 cents per share annually (1.65 cents per share quarterly), effective with the December dividend.
Randall K. Fields, Chairman and CEO of Park City Group commented, "As we expected, we continued to grow our recurring revenue, income and cash flow, while intensely focusing on our Traceability initiative. Our financial results this quarter reflected the success of that strategy. Our consistent cash generation has enabled the Board of Directors to authorize a 10% increase in our quarterly cash dividend starting with shareholders of record on December 29, 2023."
"During the quarter, we invested more heavily than usual in sales and marketing expense to build the infrastructure for Traceability and continue to increase awareness," continued Mr. Fields. "As a result, we have seen an acceleration in the adoption of Traceability – faster than we originally anticipated. We now have nearly 500 suppliers in the enrollment cycle, and about 1,000 in the queue that we anticipate will be added over the next nine to 12 months. Our Traceability revenues are modest at this point, but our pipeline is deep and we expect more hubs (and as a result, their many suppliers) accelerating implementations as the 2026 deadline looms."
Mr. Fields continued, "Our current backlog will keep us very busy through the end of our current fiscal year, as we accelerate our implementation process. The revenue ramp from Traceability will grow accordingly throughout the year. We have created a durable moat around our business as we become the largest and preferred provider for the industry. As I have said before, while many are talking about traceability, we are the ones actually doing it, with live customers, operating at scale."
First Fiscal Quarter Financial Results (three months ended September 30, 2023, vs. three months ended September 30, 2022):
Total revenue was up 7% to $5.06 million as compared to $4.72 million in the prior-year first quarter. Total operating expense was $3.86 million, up 11% compared to $3.49 million last year, reflecting a 25% increase in sales and marketing expense related to building awareness for Traceability and other growth initiatives. General and administrative expense increased by 5%. GAAP net income was $1.38 million compared to $1.29 million. Net income to common shareholders was $1.23 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $1.14 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
Return of Capital:
In the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased 155,025 shares of common stock at an average price of $8.53 for a total of $1.3 million.
