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 third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Unless otherwise stated, all figures in this release are in US
dollars.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue was $1.7 million for the third quarter 2008, same as
the last two quarters in 2008 and compared to $1.9 million in the
third quarter of 2007.
- Total expenses were at $1.8 million for the quarter and
favourably compared to the same period in 2007 of $2.4 million in
expenses.
- Net loss of $0.6 million ($0.04 per share) for the third
quarter 2008 compared to net loss of $1.0 million ($0.07 per share)
in the third quarter 2007.
- Cash and cash equivalents were at $4.4 million as of September
30, 2008.
Marc Ferland, President and CEO of Copernic stated that search
and graphic advertising revenue at $1.4 million for the quarter
were below the comparable quarter in 2007 at $1.6 million but had
improved over the previous quarter of $1.3 million. In addition,
software sales including desktop search products at $0.3 million
were comparable to the same quarter in 2007 but short $0.1 million
from the previous quarter due to the European vacation break.
Expenses net of severance and lease cancellation costs were $1.6
million for the quarter, lower than the second quarter of $1.7
million and first quarter 2008 of $2.2 million. These reductions
are in line with our previously announced cost improvement programs
and will further improve as a result of the closing of our Montreal
office and the consolidation of operations in Quebec City that was
announced today. With the focus on cost improvements and the launch
in the third quarter of advanced desktop search products (CDS 3.0),
management continues to drive for profitability and cash
generation. For example although cash was at $4.4 million, working
capital was at $4.8 million for the quarter and contribution margin
was positive two quarters in a row.
