Top Image Reports Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq:TISA) a leading ECM (Enterprise Content Management) and BPM (Business Process Management) and (MIP) Mobile Image Processing solutions provider, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Third Quarter 2013 Highlights include:

• Revenue for the quarter increased 24% sequentially to $7.9 million, compared to second quarter revenue of $6.4 million and $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2012;
   
• Non-GAAP operating profit was $0.8 million, compared to Non-GAAP operating loss of $0.5 million in the second quarter and Non-GAAP operating profit of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2012;
   
• Recognized SaaS revenues of $284,000, representing contracts of 18 – 30 months in duration;
   
• Signed contract for several million dollar license fee and a per transaction fee to provide Fiserv, the largest provider of information technology services to the financial services industry worldwide, with TIS's mobile and flagship eFLOW® platforms;
   
• In a news analysis released by Gartner Research Senior Analyst Stessa Cohen, she commented: "Mobile imaging will boost operational efficiency and bring new services to consumers and businesses. Fiserv's partnership with TIS shows how important it is for bankers to deploy mobile solutions beyond basic account information services. Rather than offering a point product, Fiserv has chosen to use TIS's eFLOW platform. This and future partnerships will make it easier for banks to adopt this technology.";
   
• Launched innovative eFLOW CrowdBridge crowdsourcing solution, developed with Amazon Mechanical Turk;
   
• Appointed a US-based Senior Director of Global Marketing in alignment with TIS's growth strategy and expanding footprint in the North American market;
   
• Secured multiple eFLOW Digital Mailroom (DMR) and eFLOW INVOICE wins;
   
• Signed six-figure deal for MobiCHECK with large consumer bank;
   
• Recognized as a "Sample Vendor" in Gartner Hype Cycle for Digital Banking 2013;
   
• Reinforced New York City eFLOW5 kickoff with a series of launches across Europe (London, Munich, Amsterdam, Madrid and Milan, and upcoming – Prague) and began initial eFLOW5 deployments at various customers including Mul T Lock, UPS, a leading Swiss insurance firm, a large bank in the U.S., as well as at a government institution in Singapore.

Dr. Ido Schechter, CEO of Top Image Systems, commented, "During the quarter we grew revenue 24% sequentially, returned to profitability, and signed a contract with Fiserv, the largest provider of IT services to the financial industry. That deal has major revenue potential as Fiserv currently supports the largest electronic bill payment network in the U.S., facilitating bill payments through thousands of billers and financial institutions for millions of end customers. This large pool of consumers creates opportunity to offer a significant source of revenue, when factoring in the deal structure of license fee plus per transaction fee."

Continued Dr. Schechter, "Our mobile platform also serves as the front end sale to our back end eFLOW platform. This integration of multiple TIS products makes the sales cycle somewhat longer, but has the great benefit of increasing upfront license revenue. Further revenue generating opportunities arise with sales of each additional application. In addition to the agreement with Fiserv, Q3 also marked another success for TIS, the launch of our eFLOW CrowdBridge solution using Amazon Mechanical Turk. The deal is significant, as the Amazon Mechanical Turk community between 2007 and 2011 has grown from 100,000 registered workers in 100 countries to 500,000 registered workers from over 190 countries worldwide."

Dr. Schechter concluded, "The U.S. continues to be a strong new market for Top Image. Northern Europe remains a source of solid growth and, as the economy in Southern Europe continues to revive, deals that had been delayed in that region are now closing, enabling us to offer SaaS contracts with our cloud-enabled eFLOW5 solution to those customers limited to OpEx spending. Meanwhile, the U.S. market can be a game-changer for Top Image. Our technology leadership, as highlighted by the Forrester Multichannel Capture Wave, and most recently underscored in Gartner's Hype Cycle for Digital Banking, is a key reason we are winning top deals in the U.S. We are well-positioned to greatly benefit from being in the U.S. market at the right time, with the right technology, right partners, right contracts and right products launched."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including, without limitation, Non-GAAP Operating Income (which details amortization expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses), Non-GAAP Net Income (which details the impact of amortization expenses and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses) and Non-GAAP diluted Earnings per Share. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures in the tables entitled "GAAP and Non-GAAP Statements of Operations".

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as an addition to TIS's GAAP results provided in the attached unaudited financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The attached tables reconcile each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. TIS's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding TIS's performance by excluding the impact of certain charges and gains that may not be indicative of TIS's core business operating results. TIS management believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing TIS's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to TIS's historical performance and its competitors' operating results. TIS includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.
