SAN DIEGO, CA, May 10, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --Overland Storage (NASDAQ: OVRL), the trusted global provider of effortless data management and data protection solutions across the data lifecycle, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2012 third quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Business Discussion:
"We've made significant progress towards achieving our strategic objectives and positioning Overland Storage for growth and profitability," said Eric Kelly, President and CEO of Overland Storage. "Our ability to sequentially grow revenue from our fiscal second to third quarter for the first time in five years confirms that the strategy we have established is beginning to take hold. In addition, our SnapServer DX Series(TM) revenue more than doubled, which further validates the investments we have made in these products."
Key Third Quarter Financial Results:
-- Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $15.2 million,
compared to $17.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and
$15.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Product revenue
for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $8.9 million, compared to
$10.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, and $9.0 million in
the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
-- Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was 31.1%, compared
to 33.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 33.2% for the second
quarter of fiscal 2012. The impact on quarterly margin was primarily
related to higher prices for disk drives used in Overland's disk-based
products that were a result of the flooding in Thailand in October
2011, as well as additional costs incurred while the Company ramped up
its new disk-based products.
-- Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased to
$8.4 million, down from $8.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2011, and down 9.4% from $9.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal
2012, as a result of ongoing operating efficiency efforts. Stock
compensation expense was approximately $1.1 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $0.4 million for the third quarter
of fiscal 2011 and $1.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Depreciation and amortization was approximately $0.4 million in the
third quarter of both fiscal 2012 and 2011.
-- Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $3.8 million, or a
loss of $0.16 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million, or a
loss of $0.22 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and a
loss of $4.3 million, or a loss of $0.18 per share, in the second
quarter of fiscal 2012.
-- Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012 was $13.4 million,
compared to $10.2 million at June 30, 2011. At March 31, 2012, the
Company had $3.5 million outstanding under its credit facility.
Third Quarter Business Highlights:
-- The Company achieved 22% sequential revenue growth in its disk-based
products, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012, driven by
stronger customer adoption of its new SnapServer DX Series(TM)
product offerings.
-- The Company achieved a 9.4% sequential improvement in operating
expense compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
-- The Company sold an aggregate of 3,640,000 shares of common stock in
March 2012, raising net proceeds of approximately $6.6 million.
Product Developments:
-- The Company's SnapServer DX Series(TM) introduced last October was
named 'Hardware Product of the Year' at the 2012 Network Computing
Awards, and was runner up in the 'Data Centre Product of the Year'
category.
-- The Company's high capacity, high performance SnapServer DX2 began
shipping in volume in May 2012.
-- The Company announced the integration of IBM technology into its line
of NEO tape libraries as part of a multi-year agreement that includes
the ability to leverage IBM's worldwide logistics and supply chain.
Patent Litigation:
In November 2011, the Company entered into a multi-year settlement and cross-license agreement with IBM pursuant to which Overland released all claims it had against IBM and Dell in connection with the patent infringement lawsuits it filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California and with the United States International Trade Commission, or the ITC, against BDT AG and certain of its affiliates, Dell and IBM. However, Overland's infringement case against BDT and its affiliates continues and the chief administrative law judge of the ITC stated that the initial determination date will be no later than May 24, 2012.
