Sajan, Inc. Announces Financial Results for First Quarter 2012


RIVER FALLS, Wis., May 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sajan, Inc., (SAJA.OB) a provider of global language services and translation management software, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $4.7 million as compared to revenues of $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was approximately $790,000, or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $60,000 or $0.00 per share for the same quarter last year. Financial results also included non-cash expense related to stock options of approximately $54,000, or $0.00 per share, in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to approximately $53,000, or $0.00 per share, in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

"We are clearly disappointed in our first quarter results," stated Shannon Zimmerman, CEO of Sajan. "During the first month of the quarter, we experienced a very unusual drop in revenues; however, our sales bookings and revenue levels gained momentum as the quarter progressed. Provided that the late quarter revenue momentum continues and we start to see increased revenue contributions from recently announced new customer assignments, we anticipate significant revenue growth in the second quarter on a sequential basis." 

Sajan also announced a number of important operational accomplishments during the quarter, including:

  • Adding a number of new clients, including two significant new customers – a major medical device company and IBM France;  
  • Consolidating product development activities by eliminating our India development center and refocusing on improved functionality of the GCMS system - our industry-leading translation management system; and
  • Enhancing our liquidity by entering into a $1.5 million line of credit facility and extending the repayment terms of our related party note payable to August 2013.
