Second Quarter 2013 Review
RMG Networks completed the business combinations of Reach Media Group Holdings Group, Inc. and Symon Holdings Corporation, or Symon, on April 8 and April 19, 2013, respectively. Symon was determined to be the Predecessor Company for accounting purposes and accordingly Symon's historical financials are included for comparison in RMG Networks' "as-reported" financials. Because Symon recorded results of operations on a January 31 fiscal year the second quarter 2013 results as reported are not comparable with the predecessor company's results for second quarter 2012. Therefore, for ease of comparison, the following results and tables contain pro forma combined results for the 2013 and 2012 second quarters as if the companies had existed as a combined entity for the relevant periods.
Total second quarter 2013 revenues were $18.9 million, an increase of 14% from $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. Included in 2012 revenue was $1.1 million of non-recurring software development revenue. Excluding this revenue from the prior period, second quarter 2013 revenue increased 22%.
•Advertising revenue of $6.9 million increased 23% from $5.6 million in second quarter 2012 due to increased demand from advertisers embracing video ad platforms.
•Product sales revenue of $5.3 million increased 35% from $3.9 million second quarter 2012 due to increasing demand from businesses looking to utilize digital signage in their workplace.
•Maintenance and content services revenue of $4.1 million remained relatively flat from $4.2 million in second quarter 2012.
•Professional services revenue of $2.6 million decreased 9% from $2.8 million in second quarter 2012. The abovementioned $1.1 million in non-recurring software development revenue is included in the year ago revenue figure. Excluding this amount, professional services revenue increased 49% due to greater services provided in connection with product sales.
Operating loss was $4.5 million compared to operating income of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2012. This decrease is attributable to: lower gross margin as a percentage of sales in the current year period, resulting from lower sales of our high margin proprietary software; the inclusion of $4.0 million in acquisition-related costs in the quarter; increases in sales and marketing expenses as the company invests in new sales and marketing staff to support growth initiatives, and higher R&D expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.8 million compared to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2012; the decrease was driven by the change in product mix and the sales and marketing investments, as mentioned above.
