Authentidate Holding Corp. Announces Third Quarter and Nine Month Results
SCHENECTADY, N.Y.
May 16, 2005
Authentidate Holding Corp. (Nasdaq:ADAT) announced today that revenue for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005 was $4,359,981 and $12,784,106, respectively. This compares with $6,790,398 and $14,090,689 for the same periods last year. The Company experienced significant sales increases in its Security Software Solutions Segment (formerly known as the Authentidate Segment, including the operations of Authentidate, Inc., Trac Medical Solutions, Inc., and Authentidate International AG), and its Document Management Solutions Segment (formerly known as DocStar). However, there was a reduction in low margin hardware sales of $3.2 million in its Systems Integration Segment (formerly known as DJS) as a consequence of management's efforts to shift the business mix towards higher margin services. As a result of this shift, and a reduction in operating expenses, there was only a $67,000 decrease in segment profit for this segment in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same quarter last year.
Revenue in its Security Software Solutions Segment increased 117% from $416,101 to $904,581 for the three month period and 158% from $1,011,696 to $2,606,693 for the nine month period. Deferred revenue increased to approximately $2.7 million from approximately $1.9 million at June 30, 2004, because of increasing orders in the Security Software Solutions Segment.
Revenue from the Document Management Solutions Segment increased from $1,397,981 to $1,650,230 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2005 respectively, an increase of 18%. For the nine month periods, the Document Management Solutions Segment revenue increased 13%, or $548,000.
Compared to the prior year, revenue in the Systems Integration Segment declined by approximately $3.2 million and $3.4 million for the quarter and nine months respectively. This sales decrease was primarily a result of management's efforts to place less emphasis on resale of low-margin hardware, and greater focus on higher margin professional services.
The net loss for the third quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $2,960,055, or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $2,565,345, or $0.09 per share, for the same quarter a year ago. The Company reported a net loss of $10,786,260, or $0.32 per share, and $12,089,053, or $0.49 per share, for the respective nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
Selling, General and Administrative costs increased during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the prior year. The Company attributed this increase to costs and staffing associated with the build out of its Security Software Solutions Segment.
On a non-GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $8,898,246, or $.26 per share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The Company said that the difference between the non-GAAP net loss and the GAAP net loss was attributable to costs associated with non-recurring expense items, including severance and non-cash consulting expenses.
"The revenue traction we are experiencing in our Security Software Solutions Segment, along with the signing of the Liberty Healthcare Group contract in the fourth quarter, demonstrates the effectiveness of the new management team in executing our strategy of a solutions-based approach to the market," stated Suren Pai, Authentidate's CEO. "We will continue to make necessary investments in our people, technology and infrastructure as we proceed to restructure the Company towards profitable growth."

Authentidate Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries
In analyzing its financial results the Company has used non-GAAP pro forma financial measures because it believes that they provide meaningful information regarding the Company's operational performance that excludes certain unusual and non-recurring expenses, as described in the footnotes to the following reconciliation. They also facilitate management's internal comparisons to historical operating results. Wherever non-GAAP disclosures are included in this press release the Company has provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating results to GAAP operating results. The non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and therefore the non-GAAP results should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The footnotes to the non-GAAP reconciliation should be read in conjunction with the reconciliation below.
