Vaso Corporation Announces Financial Results for First Quarter 2020

  June 4, 2020   By Vaso Corporation

PLAINVIEW, NY / June 4, 2020 / Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) (OTC PINK:VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

“The Company’s total revenue for the first quarter 2020 was $17.3 million, an increase of 11% when compared to the same quarter in the prior year, primarily as a result of a $1.8 million increase in revenue in our professional sales service segment,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vaso Corporation. “Combined with a significant increase in the gross profit margin, Vaso Corporation achieved an impressive improvement of $1.4 million in operating income, reducing its quarterly operating loss by 53% year-over-year, to $1.3 million.”

“On the other hand, like many others, we started to experience the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic toward the end of the first quarter as the shutdown became widespread. All of our businesses have been adversely affected and much uncertainty continues to remain for the rest of the year. While we regard the safety and well-being of our employees and customers a top priority, we have also been actively engaging with our customers to maintain ongoing business relationships and help each other weather the storm. With the assistance of the $3.6 million PPP loan the Company received in the second quarter under the CARES Act, we believe Vaso will continue to be financially stable despite the anticipated volatility in orders, revenue and cash receipts,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, revenue increased 11% to $17.3 million from $15.5 million for the same period of 2019, due primarily to the increase of $1.8 million, or 51%, in revenue in our professional sales service segment as the result of higher equipment deliveries by GEHC during the quarter. Revenue in our IT segment increased less than 1%, to $11.3 million in the first quarter 2020, compared to the same quarter of 2019, while our equipment segment revenue decreased slightly to $778 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2019, principally due to lower service revenues in that segment.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2020 increased 17% to $9.2 million, compared with a gross profit of $7.9 million for the same quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in revenue in the professional sales service and an increase in profit margin in the equipment segment due to the higher margin product mix, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit in the IT segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2020 decreased 1% to $10.3 million, compared to the first quarter of 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel costs in the IT and equipment segments, offset by an increase in SG&A costs in the professional sales service segment resulting from costs for the national sales meeting held during the quarter. (No national sales meeting was held in 2019.) SG&A expenses were 59% and 67% of revenue in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $1.4 million, a significant improvement over the loss of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2019.

Plainview, NY, April 14, 2020 – Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) (OTCMKTS: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.

“The Company’s total revenue for fiscal 2019 reached $75.7 million, a record in its history, as sales in its IT and professional sales service segments grew 3.4% and 2.7%, respectively, from the prior year,”
commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vaso Corporation. “In addition, as a result of revenue growth and significant cost reduction, Vaso Corporation has returned to profitability

“Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, costs went down by $3.1 million, or 7.1%, in 2019 when compared to 2018. We continue to watch business expenses while carefully executing our business strategy, especially in this time of uncertainty when the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting all aspects of life and business adversely,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended December 31, 2019

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, revenue increased 24.5% to $24.0 million from $19.2 million for the same period of 2018, due primarily to the increase of $4.7 million, or 70.5%, in revenue in
our professional sales service segment as the result of achieving certain performance goals and higher blended commission rates for the equipment delivered during the quarter. Revenue in our IT segment
increased 3.7%, to $11.5 million in the fourth quarter 2019, compared to the same quarter of 2018, while our equipment segment revenue decreased 25.5% to $1.1 million from $1.5 million for the fourth quarter
of 2018, due to lower sales of EECP products.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased 36.8% to $14.5 million, compared with a gross profit of $10.6 million for the same quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in revenue in the professional sales service and IT segments, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit in the equipment segment

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 decreased 4.8% to $11.0 million, compared to $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily
Page 2 of 4 attributable to a decrease in personnel costs in the professional sales service and IT segments. SG&A expenses were 45.7% and 59.8% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was $3.1 million, compared with a net loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Financial Results for Year Ended December 31, 2019

For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenue increased $1.8 million or 2.4% to $75.7 million when compared with $74.0 million for the year 2018. Revenue in our IT segment increased 3.4% to $45.7 million for the year 2019, from 2018 revenue of $44.2 million, primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million in the healthcare IT business, offset by a slight decrease in network service revenue. Commission revenues in our professional sales service segment increased by 2.7% to $26.2 million in the year 2019, compared to revenue of $25.5 million in 2018. The increase was the result of achieving certain performance goals
and higher blended commission rates for the equipment delivered during the year. Equipment segment revenue for the year 2019 decreased by 10.4% to $3.8 million, from $4.2 million in 2018, principally due to the decrease in EECP equipment sales and related service revenues.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased 3.7% to $42.7 million, from $41.1 million in 2018, as a result of $1.1 million increase in the professional sales service segment gross profit and $642
thousand increase in the IT segment gross profit, both resulting from revenue growth in the segments, offset by a $225 thousand decrease in the equipment segment gross profit as a result of the lower revenues
in that segment.

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 decreased $3.1 million or 7.1% to $40.8 million, or 53.9% of revenue, compared with $44.0 million, or 59.4% of revenue, for the same period in 2018.
The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in personnel and other costs in the professional sales service and IT segments, as well as a decrease in corporate expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had net income of $39 thousand, compared with a net loss of $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation) was $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to negative Adjusted
EBITDA of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an improvement of $4.5 million. The improvement was primarily the result of the net income in 2019 compared to the net loss in 2018.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.5 million in 2018. The decrease is principally due to the increase in profitability and an increase in
deferred revenue, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash decreased to $2.1 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash is the net effect of negative cash from operating and investing activities, offset by an increase in net borrowings. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s net cash was approximately $7.2 million.

Deferred revenue increased to $19.3 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $18.1 million at December 31, 2018. The increase is primarily the result of higher order bookings in the professional sales
service segment. The deferred revenue will be recognized in the future when the underlying equipment or services are delivered and accepted at the customer site. Our shareholders’ equity increased to $5.8 million
as of December 31, 2019 from $5.6 million as of December 31, 2018.

Vaso Corporation Announces Financial Results for Third Quarter 2019

  November 14, 2019   By Vaso Corporation

PLAINVIEW, NY / November 14, 2019 / Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) (OTCPINK:VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

“The Company recorded an operating profit of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2019 on revenue of $18.7 million, which remained virtually flat year-over-year. This operating result represented an improvement of over $1.0 million when compared to the operating loss of $0.2 million in the same quarter last year, and was the result of a higher gross profit margin as well as a significant reduction in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs. Year to date, we have reduced SG&A expenses by $2.6 million or 8% year-over-year as a direct effect of the cost cutting measures we implemented in the last several quarters. We anticipate continued improvement in the operating results for the reminder of the year and in the coming quarters,” stated Dr. Jun Ma, President and CEO of the Company.

“Our IT segment continues to be a main contributor of the Company’s revenue, growing to $11.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, or 4% over the same quarter in the prior year. We look forward to continued growth in this segment, especially in the healthcare IT business where our expertise in managed network services combined with comprehensive healthcare IT solutions present unique value proposition to a broad base of healthcare provision clients to address their needs for bandwidth, applications, cloud storage and security,” Dr. Ma commented.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended September 30, 2019

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, revenue decreased $61 thousand, or 0.3%, to $18.7 million from $18.8 million for the same period of 2018. Quarterly revenue in our IT segment increased $483 thousand or 4% year-over-year. Revenue in the professional sales service segment decreased $518 thousand, mainly due to lower equipment deliveries by our partner. We expect that deliveries of equipment will improve over the remainder of 2019. Revenue in the equipment segment decreased $26 thousand, or 3%, to $906 thousand year-over-year, due to lower sales of EECP® equipment.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 increased 4% to $10.8 million, compared with a gross profit of $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2018. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in revenue in the IT segment where gross profit increased $632 thousand or 14% year-over-year. The IT segment had increased sales and higher gross margins in the network services as well as the healthcare IT VAR business. As the healthcare ITVAR business continues to improve, we anticipate further growth in this segment. Gross profit decreased in the professional sales service and equipment segments in the third quarter 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, by $193 thousand and $49 thousand, respectively, due to lower sales.

SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2019 decreased 6% to $9.8 million compared to $10.5 million for the same quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in personnel and other costs in the professional sales service and IT segments, resulting from the cost reduction program the Company initiated in the fourth quarter 2018. We anticipate these costs reduction initiatives will result in significant cost savings for the full year 2019.

Research and development costs decreased 15% to $196 thousand in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, due to lower software development costs in the equipment segment.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $562 thousand, compared to a net loss of $377 thousand for the third quarter of 2018. The improvement of $939 thousand is primarily the result of the increase in revenue and gross profit in the IT segment and the decrease in SG&A costs for the quarter. We expect continued improvement in performance for the remainder of 2019, as we anticipate an increase in equipment deliveries in the professional sales service segment, continued growth in the IT segment, and improved operating results as an effect of our cost reduction initiatives.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1.5 million for the same period in 2018. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 was $1.3 million, compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2018.

Total deferred revenue remains substantial, at approximately $17.9 million as of September 30, 2019, which will be recognized in the future when the underlying equipment or services are delivered and accepted at the customer site. Our shareholders’ equity decreased to $2.6 million as of September 30, 2019 from $5.6 million as of December 31, 2018. Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2019 increased as compared to shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2019, as a result of the positive net income in the third quarter.

We have incurred net losses from operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We maintain lines of credit from a lending institution which will require further extensions after their current December 18, 2019 maturity date, as well as other notes payable that mature within twelve months from September 30, 2019. Our ability to continue operating as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitability, extending the maturity date of our existing lines of credit and notes payable, or through additional debt or equity financing.

Vaso Corporation Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter 2019

  August 14, 2019   By Vaso Corporation

Plainview, NY, August 14, 2019 – Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) (OTCMKTS: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
“The Company’s total revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $17.5 million, a 5% decrease when compared to revenue for the same quarter of 2018, resulting from a lower volume of equipment delivery during the quarter by our partner in our professional sales service segment. Our IT and equipment segments, on the other hand, enjoyed year-over-year quarterly revenue growths of 7% and 11%, respectively. We remain optimistic about continued growth in the IT and equipment segments and improved deliveries of underlying equipment in the professional sales service segment in the third and fourth quarters of 2019,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and CEO of the Company.

“The cost cutting effort we initiated at the end of 2018 has yielded a substantial decrease in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs, by 9%, in the first half of 2019 when compared to the first half of 2018. We also are implementing additional measures to further integrate and streamline operations to improve performance and efficiency. While it takes time for these measures to fully reveal the intended outcomes, we believe the Company will demonstrate substantially improved financial results by year end,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, revenue decreased by 5% to $17.5 million from $18.4 million for the same period of 2018, resulting from a decrease of $1.7 million in our professional sales service segment revenue, mainly due to lower equipment deliveries by our partner. We expect that deliveries of equipment will improve over the remainder of 2019. Quarterly revenue in our IT and equipment segments increased year-over-year, by $701,000 or 7% and $96,000 or 11%, respectively.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 10% to $9.4 million, compared with a gross profit of $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. This decrease is primarily the result of the decrease in revenue as
discussed above, compounded by a lower gross profit margin in the quarter compared to a year ago.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2019 decreased 7% to $9.7 million compared to $10.4 million for the same quarter of 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in personnel and other costs in the
professional sales service and IT segments, resulting from the cost reduction program the Company initiated in the fourth quarter 2018. We anticipate these costs reduction initiatives will result in significant cost savings for the full year 2019.

Research and development costs decreased 10% to $228 thousand in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, due to lower software development costs in the equipment segment.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $750 thousand, compared to a net loss of $446 thousand for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in the loss is principally due to the decrease in revenue in the
professional sales service segment. We expect an improvement in performance for the remainder of 2019, as we anticipate an increase in equipment deliveries in the professional sales service segment and improved operating results as an effect of our cost reduction initiatives.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in operations of $2.2 million for the same period in 2018. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019 was $1.0 million, compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2018.

Total deferred revenue remains substantial, at approximately $17.6 million as of June 30, 2019, which will be recognized in the future when the underlying equipment or services are delivered and accepted at the customer site. Our shareholders’ equity decreased to $2.2 million as of June 30, 2019 from $5.6 million as of December 31, 2018.

We have incurred net losses from operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We maintain lines of credit from a lending institution which will require further extensions after their current December 18, 2019 maturity date; as well as other notes payable that mature within twelve months from June 30, 2019.

Vaso Corporation Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter 2018

  August 14, 2018   By Vaso Corporation

PLAINVIEW, N.Y. August 14, 2018 – Vaso Corporation (“Vaso”) (OTCMKTS: VASO) today reported its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

“The Company recorded a total revenue of $18.4 million and $36.0 million for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, representing a growth rate of 3% and 5% from the same periods of the previous year. All three business segments of the Company contributed to the year-to-date revenue growth, led by IT segment’s 7% increase year-over-year,” commented Dr. Jun Ma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vaso Corporation. “We also saw significant improvement in the bottom-line numbers for both three- and six-month periods of the year as well, and we expect the trend to continue for the balance of the year as deferred revenue in our professional sales service segment and order backlog in the healthcare IT VAR operations are turning into revenues upon delivery of underlying goods and services.”

“Therefore, we anticipate revenues to continue to grow as well as significantly improved financial results for fiscal 2018,” concluded Dr. Ma.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, revenue increased 3% to $18.4 million from $17.9 million for the same period of 2017, due to the increase of $0.8 million, or 13%, in commission revenue in our professional sales service segment as a result of higher volume of equipment deliveries by our partner, offset slightly by the lower volume of equipment sales in our equipment segment and a 1% decrease in revenue in our IT segment.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 increased 7% to $10.4 million, compared with a gross profit of $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily the result of the 15% increase in gross profit in the professional sales service segment resulting from the increase in revenue, and an increase of 2% in the IT segment as margins improved in this segment, partially offset by lower gross profit in the equipment segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2018 increased 2% to $10.4 million compared to $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs in the IT segment, partially offset by decreases in the professional sales service and equipment segments.

Research and development costs decreased 3% to $252 thousand in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter of 2017, principally due to lower software development costs in the IT segment.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $446 thousand, an improvement of $541 thousand when compared with a net loss of $987 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to cash provided from operations of $1.4 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease was principally due to the decrease in deferred revenue in the professional sales service segment. Net cash at June 30, 2018 was $3.2 million, compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 2017.

Deferred revenue remains substantial, at approximately $20.2 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $23.1 million at December 31, 2017, which will be recognized in the future when the underlying equipment or services are delivered and accepted at the customer site. Our shareholders’ equity decreased to $6.9 million as of June 30, 2018 from $9.2 million as of December 31, 2017.
