Copernic Inc., (the "Company"), (NASDAQ: CNIC), a leading software
development company in the technology sector, specializing in
internet, desktop and mobile search products, today reported its
financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Unless otherwise stated, all figures in this release are in US
dollars.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue was $1.7 million for the second quarter 2008, same as
first quarter 2008 compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter
of 2007
- Net loss of $0.5 million ($0.04 per share) for the second
quarter 2008 compared to net loss of $1.1 million ($0.07 per share)
in the second quarter 2007
- Total expenses were at $1.7 million for the second quarter
2008 compared to $2.5 million for the second quarter 2007 and first
quarter 2008 of $2.2 million
- Cash and cash equivalents were at $5.0 million as of June 30,
2008
Marc Ferland, President and CEO of Copernic stated that search
and graphic advertising revenue at $1.3 million for the quarter
were below the comparable quarter in 2007 at $1.8 million due to
continued competitive pressures and general softening of the
display advertising and pay per click search markets. However, the
Copernic suite of desktop search products, which are part of the
software revenue, at $421,000 for the quarter outperformed the
comparable quarter in 2007 at $134,000. Along with previously
announced cost improvement programs, the Company succeeded in
significantly reducing its losses. Management continues to monitor
the search market, evaluate operating plans and examine strategic
alternatives in order to compensate for reduced revenues in the
advertising sponsored search sector.
Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008
Revenues in the second quarter of 2008 totalled $1,720,809, down
from $1,952,546 in the second quarter of 2007 mainly due to a
decline in search advertising. Revenues in Q2 2008 were slightly
higher than Q1 2008 by $12,000.
Gross margin in the second quarter 2008 was 63%, compared to 66%
in the same quarter in 2007 mainly due to higher payouts to
partners which deliver better quality traffic and usage of more
bandwidth for having run our new Canadian data centers in parallel
with the ones located in the United States. In April 2008, our US
data centers were shut down and bandwidth costs related to these
locations will be eliminated in July 2008.
Expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were at $1,670,779,
compared to $2,531,151 in Q2 2007. The expense reduction is the
consequence of the Company executing the action plan announced at
the end of Q1 2008 which focused on a cost reduction plan for
approximately $1.5 million on an annualized basis of which $1
million is related to reduced manpower.
Net loss in the second quarter 2008 was $522,000 ($0.04 per
share), compared to a net loss of $1,085,000 ($0.07 per share) in
the same quarter 2007.
Cash and cash equivalents totalled $4,954,000 which was a
decrease of $1,225,000 from March 31, 2008. During Q2 2008, the
Company paid its Directors & Officers Insurance for the current
year, audit, legal fees and other costs related to 2007 year-end
totalling approximately $750,000.
