SAPIENS ANNOUNCES Q4 2003 AND YEAR-END RESULTS
The Company reports a profit for the second consecutive quarter
Annual results show improved net results despite a decline in revenues
Research Triangle Park, N.C.February 9, 2004 Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS) today announced its unaudited results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and its unaudited results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2003.
Q4 2003 Results:
Compared to the previous quarter of 2003, the Company reported marginal but continuing improvement in the fourth quarter of 2003. Revenues increased slightly from $13.4 million to $13.5 million while gross profit increased 4.5% from $6.4 million to $6.7 million and the gross profit margin improved 4.0% from 47.7% to 49.6%. The Company reported operating income of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared with operating income of $0.3 million in the previous quarter, and net income of $0.15 million compared with net income of $0.04 million in the previous quarter.
Compared to the fourth quarter last year, revenues in the fourth quarter of 2003 decreased to $13.5 million from $15.9 million. Gross profit margin rose to 49.6% compared to 42.7% in the same period last year. Operating income amounted to $0.5 million compared with an operating loss of $2.4 million in the same period of last year. The Company recorded net income of $0.15 million compared with a net loss of $4.9 million in the same period of last year.
2003 Annual results:
Total revenues for 2003 decreased to $52.3 million in 2003 from $64.8 million in 2002. The Companys gross profit margin increased to 45.3% compared with 44.3% in 2002, reflecting continued overall improvement in revenue mix, project delivery and utilization of resources. The operating loss decreased to $1.5 million from $1.6 million last year, and the net loss decreased to $2.2 million compared with a net loss of $5.2 million last year.
Itzick Sharir, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sapiens, commented: 2003 was a tough year for Sapiens and I am pleased that we have come out stronger and better prepared for the road ahead.
The fourth quarter is our second consecutive profitable quarter with an improvement of 65% in operating income compared with the previous quarter. Year over year, we have succeeded in significantly reducing our net loss by 58% ($2.2 million compared with $5.2 million) despite a sharp decline in revenues, primarily as part of the Companys decision to abandon non-strategic lines of business. We have improved our cash position and liquidity, $31.8 million compared with $22 million, due primarily to a successful offering of convertible debentures on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $17 million in the fourth quarter.
Entering 2004, we continue with our strategic plan in servicing the insurance market. We are launching new solutions under our INSIGHT suite of products while strengthening our working relations with strategic partners at all levels, primarily IBM Corporation.
