FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2017 / Paybox Corp (OTCQB: PBOX), provider of the PAYBOX® unified working capital management platform, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. The net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was $1,615,000, compared with last year’s fourth quarter net income of $216,000. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1,471,000, compared with net income of $568,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The losses for both the quarter and the year are attributable to two events: (1) As noted in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 22, 2016, the Company is planning a reverse stock split during 2017. Costs of approximately $263,000 related to this transaction were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016; and (2) As noted in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2017, we were notified by our customer, IBM, that they will be terminating one of their contracts with us effective September 1, 2017. Although it is possible that the Company may continue to provide certain services relating to this agreement on a month-to-month basis following termination, there can be no assurances that the Company will continue to provide such services to this client. As a result of this notification, we have recorded a non-cash valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset ($916,000), and expensed all costs capitalized (non-cash) during the year ($372,000) during the fourth quarter of 2016. Excluding the one-time charges associated with the reverse stock split transaction and the IBM notification, net income (loss) for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016 were ($64,000) and $80,000, respectively.
Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $1,467,000, a decrease of $496,000 or 25.2%, from revenue of $1,962,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $6,512,000, a decrease of $1,499,000, or 18.7%, from revenue of $8,011,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Recurring revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $1,225,000, a decrease of $434,000, or 26.2%, from recurring revenue of $1,659,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Recurring revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $5,303,000, a decrease of $1,442,000, or 21.4%, from recurring revenue of $6,745,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The year-over-year decrease in recurring revenue for both the quarter and year were due to previously disclosed February 2016 and August 2016 terminations of two channel partner clients.
Non-recurring revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $242,000, a decline of $61,000, or 20.1%, from non-recurring revenue of $303,000 for the comparable prior year period. Non-recurring revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $1,209,000, a decline of $57,000, or 4.5%, from non-recurring revenue of $1,266,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The year-over-year decrease in non-recurring revenue for both the quarter and year were due to the non-recurrence of certain large prior year customer-requested modifications, partially offset by higher scanning fees.
Working capital at December 31, 2016, was $2,377,000, a decrease of $331,000, or 12.2%, from working capital of $2,708,000 at December 31, 2015. Cash provided by operating activities at December 31, 2016 was $154,000, a decrease of $1,578,000 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1,732,000 for the same period in 2015. About $635,000 of this decline resulted from the above-noted reverse stock split transaction costs and the reversal of previously capitalized IBM capitalized software costs.
Paybox Corp Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew E. Oakes, stated, “The notification of termination from IBM was obviously disappointing but the momentum of our numerous new customer signings during late 2016 and early 2017, coupled with the expected savings to be derived from the reverse stock split, will give us the runway to grow the business profitably in the near future. These customer signings demonstrate the market driven demand for our Paybox suite of services and we continue to aggressively move to address the opportunity.”
