For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
Financial results are from the Company’s continuing operations related to Security Services unless specifically noted that it includes discontinued operations related to the sale of the managed print services (MPS) business. Revenue increased by approximately $0.7 million to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.
Cost of revenue was $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2018. This increase was due to increased headcount in order to provide services to a larger customer base, support new services, and efforts to augment the employee salary and benefit offerings to attract and retain talent.
Gross margin was 41% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 43% for the same period in 2018. The slight decline in gross margin is reflective of investment in attracting and retaining talented cyber security employees and costs associated with ramping up new services.
Sales and marketing expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2018. General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in G&A is due to an increase in salaries and related costs primarily as a result of the issuance of restricted stock units to key employees and board members and software subscriptions for business tracking.
On March 20, 2019, CynergisTek sold the MPS business. The adjustments to the gain on the sale of this business together with the charges from these discontinued operations totaled $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Earnings from these discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2018 totaled $1.8 million.
GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter was $(0.9) million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $(1.7) million, or $(0.17) per basic and diluted share for the same period of 2018. GAAP net loss for the second quarter, after adjustment from income from discontinued operations, including gain on sale, net of tax, was $(1.1) million, or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share compared to net income after adjustment from income from discontinued operations, net of tax of $0.1 million, or $0.1 per basic and diluted share for the same period of 2018.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019, Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
Revenue increased by approximately $2.1 million to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018 due to increased sales efforts, expansion of service offerings and benefitted from current customers’ need for additional managed services. This increase is a result of an approximately $0.8 million increase in multi-year managed service revenues and approximately $1.3 million in additional revenues from consulting and professional services provided to new and existing customers.
Cost of revenue was $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2018. CynergisTek incurred approximately $1.1 million more in salaries and related costs, approximately $0.2 million more in stock compensation, and approximately $0.3 million more in contract labor. These increases were due to increased headcount in order to provide services to a larger customer base to support new services and the efforts to augment the employee salary and benefit offerings to attract and retain talent.
Gross margin was 40% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 44% for the same period in 2018. The decline in gross margin is reflective of the Company’s investment in attracting and retaining talented cybersecurity employees and costs associated with ramping up new services. Over the next few quarters, it is expected for gross margins to improve as the Company looks to grow cybersecurity consulting services.
Sales and marketing expenses were $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $2.7 for the same period in 2018. The increase is primarily a result of a broad array of additional marketing expenses incurred in an effort to increase sales. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2018 which includes $0.6 million of severance expense related to a departed executive.
GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $(2.4) million, or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $(3.5) million, or $(0.37) per basic and diluted share for the same period of 2018. GAAP net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019, after adjustment from income from discontinued operations, including gain on sale, net of tax, was $16.5 million, or $1.69 per basic and $1.66 per diluted share compared to a net loss after adjustment from income from discontinued operations, net of tax of $(0.6) million, or $(0.06) per basic and diluted share for the same period of 2018.
The reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP information can be found in the tables at the end of this release and provide the details of the Company’s non-GAAP disclosures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP information.
