Herndon, VA and Oslo, Norway – October 20, 2015 – Apptix® (OSE: APP), the premier provider of managed and hosted solutions, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
As previously reported, on September 8, 2015, Apptix (the "Company") signed and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement with GoDaddy, LLC for the sale of a majority of its direct public cloud customers. The Company was paid USD 22.5 million in cash at closing including approximately USD 1.4 million of customer subscription refunds to be paid during the remainder of 2015, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately USD 21.1 million (before any transaction related expenses). Subject to reaching certain user migration milestones, the Company may earn additional consideration to be paid between December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016 ("Milestone Consideration"). The maximum Milestone Consideration achievable is USD 16.0 million assuming 100% of the purchased mailboxes are migrated to GoDaddy. Based on the progress of the initiative through early October 2015, the Company estimates any additional consideration will not exceed 25% of the maximum Milestone Consideration available. Additionally, there is no assurance any Milestone Consideration will be earned by Apptix. The closing payment and the Milestone Consideration are subject to Company's indemnification obligations to GoDaddy.
The customers subject to the sale are primarily Hosted Exchange ("HEX") and Microsoft Office 365 users and are being migrated to Microsoft's Office 365 service offering via GoDaddy, one of Microsoft's largest Office 365 resellers. The Company will be closing down its public cloud HEX environment during 2016. The Company also entered into a Transition Services Agreement to assist GoDaddy with customer care and migrations through February 2016. The Company's larger enterprise level public cloud customers, private cloud customers and channel partners were not impacted by this transaction.
The sale of the public cloud customers allows the Company to focus its efforts and expand upon the existing managed service business that the Company already provides today and from new opportunities that exist in the market place. The capital from this transaction provides the Company with the resources necessary to support both its organic and inorganic growth initiatives including sales, marketing and product expansion. The expanded managed services approach centers on a broad range of solutions centered on a proactive management approach of a customer's entire network infrastructure, technologies, and applications. These services will include the deployment and management of infrastructure and network monitoring tools, virtual workstations, servers, firewalls, mobile devices, enterprise backup, disaster recovery, email, VoIP, mobile device management and others. As a managed service provider integrating "best of breed" cloud solutions, the Company aims to become a comprehensive technology partner for its customers.
The Company spent the majority of the third quarter focused on activating the revenues from the second quarter 2015 bookings, continuing to build the Company's pipeline and supporting the GoDaddy transaction. As a result, QRR bookings during the third quarter of 2015 were USD 147 thousand as compared to USD 802 thousand in the second quarter 2015. The second quarter of 2015 was a record bookings quarter for the Company. The Company will also be directing the majority of its corporate resources to support the GoDaddy migrations during the fourth quarter of 2015. This includes the Company's sales and account management related resources to contact and coordinate the public cloud customer migrations to Office 365 via GoDaddy. These activities will impact the Company's fourth quarter bookings and pipeline development efforts.
The Company segmented its revenues into (a) continuing operations and (b) non-continuing operations. The Company's continuing operations include revenues from the private cloud customers, enterprise level Hosted Exchange customers, channel partners, managed cloud services and non-recurring professional services. Revenues from non-continuing operations include all revenues related to the Company's public cloud Hosted Exchange customer base which were identified and sold to GoDaddy. For more information regarding the Company's revenue segmentation, please see the accompanying financial statements.
Continuing revenues totaled USD 6.3 million during the third quarter of 2015 representing a 5% quarter over quarter increase and a 12% year over year increase. The strong second quarter 2015 bookings that were converted into current period revenues were the main drivers for both increases. On a year to date basis, continuing revenues totaled USD 18.1 million, an increase of 9% over 2014 levels. Strong professional services bookings throughout 2015 along with the record second quarter 2015 recurring bookings drove the revenue gains year to date.
The consolidated financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 include both continuing and non-continuing revenues generated by the Company. The noncontinuing revenues are primarily the services provided by Apptix to the public cloud customer base sold to GoDaddy on September 8, 2015. As such, the Company's consolidated revenues only include revenues generated by these customers through September 8, 2015.
During the quarter, the Company recorded USD 8.5 million in total revenues as compared to USD 9.9 million during the second quarter of 2015 and USD 9.7 million during the third quarter of 2014. Year to date revenues totaled USD 28.0 million as compared to USD 29.6 million during the same period in 2014. The decreases for all comparable periods was due to the
exclusion of 22 business days of revenues related to the customers sold to GoDaddy in September 2015.
With the sale of a significant portion of the Company's current revenue stream, the Company announced the realignment of its existing business model. The Company is reducing its workforce by approximately 35% by December 31, 2015. As a result, the Company incurred a one-time charge of approximately USD 1.5 million related to severance, outplacement and other employment related costs. The disbursement of these funds will take place during the fourth quarter 2015 and early 2016.
The Company also recorded a one-time, non-cash Goodwill charge of USD 6 million as the current Goodwill reserves are primarily related to public cloud customer base and the cash generated by such customer base. Additionally, once these customers are migrated off the Company's public cloud environment, the Company will decommission the underlying computer related equipment. The asset impairment resulted in an obsolete fixed asset charge of approximately USD 4 million during the third quarter of 2015.
Lastly during the remainder of 2015, the Company will also be discontinuing a number of its current operating expenditures and agreements as the business continues to target EBITDA levels in the 15-20% range of total revenues. The Company expects it will cost approximately USD 1 million to terminate these agreements in advance of their contractual end dates. As such, the Company reserved USD 1 million to account for these contractual terminations. The outlay of such disbursements is expected during late fourth quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016.
Net income for the third quarter 2015 totaled USD 6.7 million as compared to USD 340 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 and USD 154 thousand in in the third quarter 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the net income totaled USD 7.2 million as compared to 256 thousand for the same period in 2014. Impacting the Company's third quarter and year to date 2015 results is a gain on the sale of the public cloud customer base of USD 19.9 million along with the aforementioned one-time charges totaling USD 12.5 million.
"A year ago, we embarked on a strategy to become a leading provider of managed public, private and hybrid cloud-based services for mid-market and enterprise organizations. The sale of the Company's public cloud customers to GoDaddy is both a transforming event for Apptix and the next logical step for us. While the remainder of 2015 will be primarily focused on assisting our customers and GoDaddy with the upcoming public cloud migrations, we are also focused on the top line development of our continuing operations. Year to date, we have seen 10% revenue growth from this segment. With available growth capital, we are excited about 2016 and beyond," said Johan Lindqvist, Chairman of Apptix.
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company incurred approximately USD 12.5 million of onetime, non-recurring charges along with a gain of USD 19.9 million on the sale of its public cloud customer base. The table below shows the impact of the one-time items:

Revenues totaled USD 8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, representing a 13% decrease from second quarter 2015 levels and a 12% decrease with the third quarter of 2014. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled USD 28.0 million down 5.0% from the same period in 2014. The declines for all periods presented are the direct result of the sale of the Company's public cloud customer base.
Continuing Revenues include license and subscription revenues associated with the Company's private cloud customers, larger Hosted Exchange customers, resellers & partners along with VoIP, SharePoint, managed cloud services and non-recurring professional services. For the third quarter 2015, Continuing Revenues grew 5% (quarter over quarter) and 12% (year over year). On a year to date basis, Continuing Revenues improved by 9% as compared to the same period in 2014. Strong bookings during the second quarter of 2015 which included multi-year agreements for security services including email phishing and malicious file attachment; enterprise level Hosted Exchange; along with desktop-as-a-service, virtual servers and VoIP communication services all contributed to the improved top line results.
Non Continuing Revenues include the license and subscription revenues related to the certain public cloud customers that were sold to GoDaddy in September 2015. As a direct result of the asset sale, revenues for all comparable periods show a decline. Excluding the impact and timing of the asset sale, Non Continuing Revenues would have decreased 4% quarter over quarter, 10% year over year and 12% on a comparable year to date basis. The consistent revenue decline (excluding the asset sale) from this customer base was a primary driver for the Company evaluating the transactional options for this customer base. Based on current market dynamics, the Company anticipated this negative revenue trend would continue.
Operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization) totaled USD 6.2 million during the third quarter of 2015, down 2.5% quarter over quarter and down 1.0% year over year. The
quarter over quarter decrease was primarily due to lower operating overheads including marketing, travel, maintenance and computer expense while the year over year decrease was mainly due to lower depreciation expense. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were USD 19.1 million, down 1.2% from the same period in 2014.
Loss before interest and taxes for the third quarter 2015 was USD 447 thousand, compared to a positive EBIT of USD 616 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 and USD 503 thousand during the third quarter of 2014. EBIT for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was USD 663 thousand compared to USD 1.2 million during the same period in 2014. The quarter over quarter, year over year and year to date 2015 variances are mostly due to the revenue impact of the sale of the Company's public cloud customer base which lowered revenues by approximately USD 1.4 million and margins by approximately USD 1.1 million.
Net loss totaled USD 704 thousand for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to net income of USD 340 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 and USD 154 thousand in the third quarter 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a net loss of USD 159 thousand as compared to USD 256 thousand during the same period in 2014. The changes to net income follow the EBIT variances noted above.
Cash used by operating activities, including the impact of changes in currency rates, totaled USD 1.6 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to cash generated of USD 1.0 thousand during the second quarter of 2015 and cash generated of USD 1.0 million during the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 cash used by operating activities, including the impact of changes in currency rates, totaled USD 681 thousand, down from USD 2.0 million of cash generated by the Company during the same period of 2014. Both the third quarter and year to date 2015 cash flow from operating activities were impacted by the payments of approximately USD 1.9 million related to the GoDaddy transaction.
Equipment purchases, net of financings under equipment leases, during the third quarter of 2015 were USD 90 thousand compared to USD 173 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 and USD 70 thousand in the third quarter of 2014. Equipment purchases, net of financings under equipment leases, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were USD 338 thousand compared to USD 133 thousand during the same period of 2014. The primary driver for the increased capital purchases was the Company's data center consolidation efforts.
Net cash used to satisfy debt and capital lease obligations was USD 941 thousand in the third quarter of 2015, as compared to USD 932 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 and USD 811 thousand in the third quarter 2014. Net cash used to satisfy debt and capital lease obligations totaled USD 2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 consistent with the same period in 2014.
The Company received USD 22.5 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the majority of the Company's public cloud customer base. The Company incurred 2.6 million in fees and expenses directly related to the transaction. As noted above, approximately USD 1.9 million has been paid
through September 30, 2015. The Company anticipates the balance of the transaction related expenses to be disbursed by December 31, 2015. For additional information related to the calculation of the gain on sale, please see the accompanying footnotes.
The Company closed the third quarter of 2015 with USD 21.4 million in cash and no amounts outstanding on its working capital facility. On April 10, 2015, the Company entered into a new credit facility agreement with its financial institution to replace its expiring working capital facility which previously had an outstanding balance of USD 4.7 million. The new facility provides for a USD 2 million revolving line of credit and a USD 4.7 million term note payable.

As a result of the sale of its public cloud customer base to GoDaddy, the Company recorded a Gain on Sale of USD 19.9 million. The net gain from the transaction is shown separately under "Other Income and Expense". The calculation of the gain is as follows:
| Calculation of gain: | |
|---|---|
| Proceeds from sale of public cloud customer base | 22,500 |
| Less - Transaction sales costs | (2,122) |
| Less - Estimated taxes | (500) |
| Net gain on transaction | 19,878 |
Post transaction, the Company may benefit from up to a maximum of USD 16.0 million of additional proceeds ("Milestone Consideration") assuming 100% of the purchased users are migrated to GoDaddy. Based on the progress of the initiative through early October 2015, the Company estimates any additional consideration will not exceed 25% of the maximum Milestone Consideration available. Additionally, there is no assurance any Milestone Consideration will be earned by Apptix. Any Milestone Consideration earned by the Company would result in additional "Gain on Sale" less any applicable fees. The closing payment and the Milestone Consideration are subject to Company's indemnification obligations to the buyer.
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company completed a review of its goodwill and other intangible assets to determine if an impairment existed. The estimate reflects the Company's assessment of the value of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated or the intangible asset is associated with. Calculating the value in use requires the Company to estimate the expected cash flows from the cash-generating unit (if available) and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of cash flow.
The Company has historically evaluated its goodwill on a consolidated basis as a single cash generating unit. The recoverable amount for the cash generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets or forecasts approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections was 12% (pre-tax) and assumed a constant growth rate of 3% (nominal) beyond year five. The Company's analysis of its intangible asset carry value resulted in an impairment of approximately USD 10.0 million. The Company first allocated the impairment to goodwill which totaled approximately USD 6 million and then allocated the residual balance to fixed assets which totaled approximately USD 4 million. As noted in the Company's September 9, 2015 disclosure, the initial assessment estimated a potential impairment of approximately USD
16 million. However, based on subsequent analysis, the recoverable amount related to the residual cash generating unit supported the USD 10 million threshold.
As a result of the sale of the public cloud users and once these customers are migrated off the Company's public cloud environment, the Company will decommission the underlying computer related equipment.
The immediate monetization of a portion of the Company's current revenue stream requires the Company to realign its existing business model. Currently, the Company employs approximately 95 individuals. As the Company completes the Transition Services Agreement with GoDaddy in late 2015 and early 2016, the Company will be reducing its workforce by approximately 35%. In September 2015, the Company notified the impacted staff of the pending change in their work status. Since the impacted staff will not be remaining with the business in 2016, the Company recorded a one-time compensation related charge totaling USD 1.5 million. The charge included the monthly carrying cost of the employees through December 2015, severance payments to be made to the impacted staff, outplacement assistance and other residual employee termination costs. The Company anticipates these cash disbursements will take place during the fourth quarter of 2015 and January 2016.
In addition to the realignment of staffing, the Company is in the process of discontinuing a number of its current operating expenditures and agreements. The operating agreements and expenditures include such items as rents, licenses, maintenance, professional fees, and other costs that will no longer be required by the Company due to the sale of its public cloud customer base. In order to terminate these agreements in advance of their contractual end date, the Company has estimated it will incur approximately USD 1.0 million as it finalizes this initiative and completes the negotiations with the various parties. The outlay of such disbursements would be expected during the fourth quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016.
The above realignment charges are based on Company estimates and are subject to change. The Company expects to incur these charges during the fourth quarter of 2015 as the realignment program is implemented.
On April 10, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with its financial institution to replace its expiring working capital facility. The new facilities provide for a USD 2 million revolving line of credit and a USD 4.7 million term note payable. Amounts available pursuant to the revolving line of credit will be based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable subject to certain limitations such as foreign accounts receivable, accounts receivable older than 90 days and individual customer account balances in excess of 25% of total accounts receivable. The revolving line of credit will carry a floating interest rate of prime plus 1.75% with a minimum prime rate of 3.25%.
The USD 4.7 million term note payable matures on March 31, 2020 and carries a floating interest rate of prime plus 2.25% with a minimum prime rate of 3.25%. Through December 2015, there are no scheduled principal repayments with interest only payments applying during this period of time. The principal repayment schedule of the term note payable is as follows:
| Period April 2015 through December 2015 January 2016 through September 2016 October 2016 through September 2017 |
Amount ٠ 39,167 58,750 |
Number of Payments - 9 12 |
Total Principal Payments - USD 352,503 705,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 2017 through September 2018 | 58,750 | 12 | 705,000 |
| October 2018 through September 2019 October 2019 through March 2020 |
78,333 78.333 |
12 6 |
939,996 470,000 |
| Payment at Maturity - March 2020 | 1,527,501 | 1,527,501 | |
| Total | 4,700,000 |
Both the revolving line of credit and term note facility will be subject to a Minimum Fixed Charge Covenant Ratio and a Maximum Debt Leverage Ratio Covenant.
On September 4, 2015 the Company entered into a loan amendment agreement with its financial institution to modify the financial covenants related to its current credit facility. As a result of the September 2015 amendment, the Company's sole financial covenant is a minimum cash balance requirement. No other material changes were made to the Company's existing credit facilities.
