Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

Revenues: Total revenues for the fourth quarter were $8.0 million, compared to $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. License revenues for the fourth quarter were $3.4 million, the same figure as for the fourth quarter last year. Professional Services revenues for the fourth quarter were $2.2 million, compared to $2.0 million for fourth quarter last year. Recurring revenues for the fourth quarter were $2.4 million, an increase of 29% on a year-over-year basis.

For the full year, total revenues were $29.1 million, compared to $31.3 million for 2012. The year-over-year decrease in total revenues is primarily attributable to the introduction of a new flexible SaaS business model. The introduction of this model is to meet market demand in legacy markets that are not a core to our rapid growth initiatives. License revenues were $11.8 million for the year compared to $15.3 million for 2012. Recurring revenues were $8.7 million, reflecting an increase of 14% year-over-year. Professional services revenues were $8.6 million, an increase of 3% on a year-over-year basis.

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the fourth quarter was $4.9 million, compared to $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Gross margin for the fourth quarter was 61%, compared to 60% in the fourth quarter last year. 

For the full year, gross profit was $17.2 million, compared to $19.3 million in 2012. Gross margin was 59%, compared to 62% for 2012. 

Earnings: Non-GAAP operating income was $8,000, compared to $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP net income was $0.2 million, compared to $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.01 compared to $0.02 for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.01 compared to $0.31 for the full year 2012. The decrease in Non-GAAP earnings is primarily attributable to a one-time increase in R&D expenditures relating to our mobile products, development of cloud solutions and higher sales and marketing costs.

Cash: Total cash, cash equivalents increased to $3.2 million on December 31, 2013, from $2.2 million on December 31, 2012. In early 2014 we closed an underwritten public offering of our ordinary shares, generating proceeds to the Company of $15.0 million including exercise in full of an overallotment option.
