KonaTel Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

DALLAS, Aug. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- KonaTel, Inc. KTEL (www.konatel.com), a voice/data communications holding company, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2019.

Second Quarter Financial Summary

  • Revenues decreased 17%, reflecting a focus on higher-margin revenue, which resulted in a shedding of lower-margin, commoditized business;
  • Gross profit improved 550% and gross margin improved from 3.3% to 25.9%, validating the effort to shed lower-margin revenue;
  • Total operating expenses increased 40%, primarily related to a significant increase in depreciation and amortization; and
  • Net loss of $605,000, or $(0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $774,000, or $(0.02) per share.

"During the first six months of 2019, KonaTel has taken significant steps to position the company for accelerating growth and sustainable profitability," commented KonaTel Chairman/CEO Sean McEwen. "Our primary focus for the last six months has been to merge our two recent acquisitions, Infiniti Mobile and Apeiron, while streamlining administrative costs and gaining efficiencies through economies of scale. I am encouraged with our progress and expect incremental efficiencies as we grow. Simultaneously, we have been working to reduce low margin service revenue in favor of higher margin service revenue. This effort caused a temporary reduction in revenue, but a significant increase in gross profit as our margin increased from 3.3% to 25.9%."

"As part of our ongoing direct cost assessment procedures, we continuously review our wholesale bundling strategy to more efficiently leverage our wholesale consumption of minutes, SMS and data," added Mr. McEwen. "We also periodically reevaluate our direct wholesale supplier agreements searching for ways to reduce direct costs. Over the past six months and through our cost assessment procedures, we have been able to reduce costs at June 30, 2018, by 27%. The improved margin and more efficient utilization of minutes, SMS and data has enabled us to reduce our operating loss by 20.8%, reduce our net loss by 21.8% and achieve positive cash flow from operations."

Second Quarter Financial Detail (Second Quarter of 2019 vs. Second Quarter of 2018)

Revenues decreased 17.4% to $2.3 million compared to $2.7 million, reflecting a focus on high-margin service revenue. Gross profit was $586,000, or 25.9% profit margin, compared to gross profit of $90,000, or 3.3% profit margin.

Total operating expenses were $1.2 million, up 39.3%. Approximately $213,000 of the $336,000 increase in operating expenses was related to an increase in depreciation and amortization, reflecting primarily intangible assets such as customer lists, software and licenses related to the Apeiron acquisition.

Net loss was $605,000, or $(0.01) per share (based on 40.7 million weighted average shares) compared to a net loss of $774,000, or $(0.02) per share (based on 32.8 million weighted average shares).
