Steve Smith, chief executive officer of DecisionPoint Systems, commented: “We finished off a record year on a high note, with revenue growth coming from both services and software and a hardware solutions project in the fourth quarter. This performance demonstrates that our strategy to bolster our higher-margin services and software portfolio is working and has provided a level of differentiation for DecisionPoint within our industry. Additionally, during the quarter, we further invested in driving long-term, higher-margin organic growth by adding several industry-experienced business development professionals to help drive growth in services and software as we head into 2024. While this investment will impact our profitability over the near term, we believe the medium to longer-term rewards will benefit shareholders.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity as of December 31, 2023

Cash and cash equivalents were $4.3 million, compared to $7.6 million on December 31, 2022. Short-term and long-term debt, mainly related to the acquisition of MIS, were $1.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively, down from $12.1 million on April 1, 2023, when DecisionPoint acquired MIS.

2024 Commentary

Smith commented: “2023 was a year of investment, repositioning DecisionPoint for continued long-term revenue growth, gross margin expansion and higher profitability with our operating leverage. The combined acquisition of MIS, our release of the Vision Portal and preparing for the recent January introduction of PointCare Services were key elements in this repositioning, as the former significantly increased our software and services mix, while the latter will form the basis of our nascent Mobile Managed Services (MMS) offering.

“As we look to 2024, we will continue to focus on expanding our services and software offerings to drive recurring revenue and long-term growth through organic investment and M&A. A big part of our focus includes our recently released PointCare Services, a premier suite of deployment and managed services built to address all aspects of selecting, deploying and managing enterprise technology. PointCare Services integrates all of our service offerings to support enterprise mobility, point of sale and RFID technologies, including our Vision Portal, Vizitrace and other managed services. We also re-aligned our cost structure during the fourth quarter of 2023, which will help offset our investments in MIS, PointCare, and Vision, and the hiring of a seasoned team to build out our MMS strategy, product portfolio and go-to-market. We expect these investments will start to bear fruit for our top line in 2024 and become a more meaningful, higher-margin source of recurring revenue in 2025.

“From an industry perspective, we believe our high mix of services and software partially insulates us from the challenges other companies in our space are facing on the hardware side.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures, namely non-GAAP Net Income, non-GAAP diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, all of which are considered by management to be performance measures. Non-GAAP Net Income is defined as net income (loss) before: (1) share-based compensation, (2) business acquisition costs, (3) integration costs, and (4) NYSE American uplisting costs, as applicable. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Non-GAAP Net Income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.

Management believes that these non-GAAP measures reflect the essential operating activities of the Company [because these non-GAAP measures exclude expenses and transactions that are not part of our core operations and may be one time in nature]. We believe that [by excluding such expenses and transactions] these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to our historical performance and how our results compare to other publicly-traded companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financials. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies, as other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below:
