SHREWSBURY, NJ, October 24, 2013 — Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTG) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. The results will be discussed in a conference call to be held on October 25, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The dial-in telephone number is (866) 793-1341 and the pass code is “WSTG.”  This conference call will be webcast by NASDAQ OMX and can be accessed at Wayside Technology’s Web site at www.waysidetechnology.com/earnings-call.

 

“I am pleased to report solid financial results. Our Lifeboat Distribution segment continues to deliver year over year growth, while our TechXtend division was down as compared to an exceptionally strong quarter last year.” said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “On a year to date basis, our results have essentially matched last year’s strong performance.  As a result, the Board of Directors has agreed to increase the dividend declared from $0.16 per share to $0.17 per share.  The Company has now paid dividends consecutively for over the last 40 quarters.”

 

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $14.7 million, representing 45% of equity as of September 30, 2013. Working capital amounted to $24.4 million, representing 74% of equity as of September 30, 2013.

 

Net sales for the third quarter of 2013 decreased 7% or $5.1 million to $70.5 million compared to $75.5 million for the same period in 2012. Net sales for the third quarter of 2013 for our Lifeboat segment were $56.9 million compared to $56.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, representing an increase of $0.9 million or 2%. Net sales for the third quarter of 2013 for our TechXtend segment were $13.6 million compared to $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of $5.9 million or 30%.

 

The increase in net sales for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was mainly a result of the strengthening of our account penetration. The decrease in net sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due to a decrease in large single sales transactions and a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions as compared to exceptionally strong levels of large single sales transactions and extended payment terms sales transactions in the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

 

Gross Profit for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $5.3 million compared to $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $3.8 million compared to $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, representing a 4% increase. The increase in gross profit for the Lifeboat segment was due to higher sales volume in the current year. Total gross profit for our TechXtend segment was $1.4 million compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, representing a 29% decrease. The decrease in gross profit in the TechXtend segment was the result of the decreased sales volume, including a decrease in large single sales transactions and a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions. Vendor rebates and discounts for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 amounted to $0.3 million or 0.4% of net sales compared to $0.4 million or 0.5% of net sales for the third quarter of 2012.

 



 

Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 7.5% for each period.

 

Total selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were $3.5 million compared to $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of $0.1 million or 4%. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in commissions and bonus for our TechXtend segment (which are based on gross profit and segment income). As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were 4.9% compared to 4.8% for the third quarter of 2012.

 

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2013 were $1.3 million and $0.29, respectively, compared to $1.4 million and $0.29 in the prior year.

 

On October 23, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share of its common stock, payable November 15, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 5, 2013.  This represents a $0.01 per share increase in the dividend, as compared to Q2-2013 and prior.
