AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CTEK&src=ctag” target=”_blank”gt;$CTEKlt;/agt; lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/DavidFinn?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#DavidFinnlt;/agt;–CynergisTek,
Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in healthcare cybersecurity,
privacy, and compliance, today announced financial results for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter 2019 Include:

Financials represent business from continuing operations. Discontinued
operations have been isolated.

Revenues from continuing operations for the first quarter were $5.8
million an increase of 32%, compared to $4.4 million for the same
period of 2018.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss from continuing operations, after adding
back stock-based compensation, was $(0.6) million in the first quarter
of 2019, compared to $(0.7) million after adding back stock based
compensation and non-recurring charges related to our debt refinancing
and the departure of a senior executive for the same period in 2018.
Non-GAAP adjusted loss from continuing operations per share for the
first quarter 2019 was ($0.09) per basic and diluted share, compared
to ($0.11) per basic and ($0.10) diluted share for the same period of
2018.

Recent Operational Highlights Include:

Expanded managed service offering to include Managed Security Services
to have the full breadth of offerings for the healthcare market.
Drove 45% plus year over year growth in professional and consulting
services revenue.

“The first quarter of 2019 was very successful in terms of our strategy
for the future,” said Mac McMillan, President and CEO of CynergisTek.
“We reduced debt by selling the Managed Print Services business,
allowing us to increase focus on our core cybersecurity, privacy, and
compliance services. We expanded our service offerings by launching
Managed Security Services to provide proactive and comprehensive
security monitoring of network devices, endpoints, and cloud- and SaaS-
based environments. Many of our customers have expressed interest in
wanting more focused monitoring to keep up with the increased threat
landscape healthcare is experiencing.”

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to the Three
Months Ended March 31, 2018

Financial results are from our continuing operations related to our
Security services unless specifically noted that it includes our
discontinued operations related to the sale of our managed print
services (MPS) business. Revenue increased by approximately $1.4 million
to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared
to the same period in 2018, as we have intensified our sales efforts,
expanded our service offerings and benefitted from our customers’ need
for additional professional services.

Cost of revenue was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2019, as compared to $2.4 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 our efforts to augment
the employee salary and benefit offerings to attract and retain talent.

Gross margin was 40% of revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2019 and 45% for the same period in 2018. The reduction in gross margin
is reflective of our investment in attracting and retaining talented
cyber security employees and costs associated with ramping up new
services. We expect gross margins to improve in the second half of the
year as we grow our cybersecurity consulting services and our new
services start to gain traction in the marketplace.

Sales and marketing expenses were $1.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $1.4 million for the same period in
2018. General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $2.2 million for
the same period in 2018. This reduction was due to the non-recurring
charges related to our debt refinancing and the departure of a senior
executive back in the first quarter of 2018.

On March 20, 2019, we sold the Managed Print Services (MPS) business.
The gain on the sale of this business, together with the earnings from
these discontinued operations, net of taxes totaled $19.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to income from
discontinued operations, net of tax, of $1.1 million in the 2018 period.

GAAP net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter was
$(1.5) million, or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share compared to a net
loss of $(1.9) million, or $(0.19) per basic and diluted share for the
same period of 2018. GAAP net income for the first quarter, after
adjustment from income from discontinued operations, including gain on
sale, net of tax, was $17.5 million, or $1.81 per basic and $1.77 per
diluted share compared to a net loss after adjustment from income from
discontinued operations, net of tax of $(0.7) million, or $(0.19) 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.
