Deep Down Announces 96% Increase in Revenues
HOUSTON, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deep Down, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: DPDW) announced unaudited results on August 15, 2008, for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, on Form 10-Q filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Deep Down generated revenue of $14.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to $7.2 million for the same period last year, an
increase of $7.0 million, or 96%. Our acquisitions accounted for $5.1 million
of this increase. Mako was included for the entire period and accounted for
$2.7 million of the increase. Flotation Technologies was included for two
months and accounted for $1.5 million of the increase. ElectroWave was
included for six months and accounted for $0.9 million of the increase, but
the six month period in 2007 included only three months revenue for
ElectroWave since it was acquired in April 2007. Our existing businesses
continued to strengthen with increased revenues of $1.9 million, or 29%, over
last year's six month period. Contract revenues were up 25%, and rentals were
up 47%. Our offshore market continues to be strong as we continue to expand
our customer base.
Deep Down generated revenues of $7.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 compared to $5.1 million for the same period last year, an
increase of $2.8 million, or 54%. Our acquisitions represented $3.0 million
of the increase in revenue in addition to a slight revenue decrease in the
core business of $0.2 million. This slight decrease in revenue was a result of
certain customers delaying scheduled projects.
Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.8 million
compared to $2.7 million in the same prior year period, an increase of
$2.1 million, or 79%. $1.4 million of the increase is attributable to the
inclusion of the acquisitions in this period. The overall gross margin was
34 % for the first six months of 2008 as compared to 37% for the same period
last year. The gross margin is slightly lower due to an increase in personnel.
SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $5.4 million compared to
$1.8 million for the same period last year, an increase of $3.6 million, or
209%. The acquisitions of Mako and Flotation represented $1.5 million of the
increase. Bad debt expense increased by $0.8 million due to the write-off of
two accounts, one of which filed for bankruptcy protection during the quarter
($0.2 million of the total bad debt is included in the Mako subsidiary).
Personnel and related costs increased by $1.0 million primarily due to an
expansion of our businesses, combined with the related costs of administering
a public company and complying with reporting requirements. Additionally, we
paid approximately $0.7 million in professional, accounting, and legal fees to
support our various initiatives during the six months ended June 30, 2008,
including the filing of a registration statement, acquisitions and reporting
requirements. Stock based compensation related to employee stock options and
restricted stock was approximately $0.3 million in the current fiscal year
compared to approximately $40,000 for the comparable prior year period.
Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $1.5 million
compared to operating income of $0.8 million for the same prior year period.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $5.0 million compared to
net income of $0.8 million for the same prior period. Income was impacted by
one-time interest expense and loss on debt extinguishment expenses totaling
$2.6 million related to the early payoff of our secured credit agreement (the
"Credit Agreement"). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization and other non-cash charges ("EBITDA") for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, was $0.5 million, compared to $1.0 million, a decrease of
$0.5 million over the same prior year period.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $3.5 million
compared to $1.5 million for the same prior year period. In connection with
the early payoff of the Credit Agreement, Deep Down accelerated the remaining
deferred financing costs totaling $0.7 million and recorded this charge to
interest expense. Additionally, $1.5 million in debt discounts were
accelerated and recorded to interest expense, along with early termination
fees of approximately $0.5 million. Deep Down paid cash interest related to
the Credit Agreement totaling $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2008. For the comparable period last year, $1.4 million of the total interest
was related to accretion on the redemption of Series G and Series E Preferred
Stock.
"I am pleased to report this quarter that Deep Down continues to improve
its financial position. The Company is now essentially debt free and has
retired all of its remaining preferred shares. Liquidity is strong with
unrestricted cash and equivalents of $4.1 million and a current ratio of
3.8. Our working capital position is $10.8 million. Stockholders' equity has
improved dramatically and is now $52.9 million compared to $12.6 million on
December 31, 2007. We remain excited and optimistic about the prospects for
continued revenue growth and a return to profitability," commented Robert E.
Chamberlain, Jr., Deep Down's Chairman.
