DALLAS, May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RMG Networks Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:RMGN), or RMG, a global leader in technology-driven visual communications, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
“This was a quarter of continued strategic and financial progress, as evidenced by our first quarter of year-over-year revenue growth since 2015,” commented Robert Michelson, Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we advanced our core growth initiatives with the successful conversion of a second supply chain pilot into large initial rollout and implementation of our new RMG MAX LED solutions.”
“Geographically, we saw positive signs internationally, particularly in the Middle East where we implemented a $640,000 RMG MAX LED solution and began seeing forward momentum with previously delayed deals,” Michelson added. “The progress in the first quarter reinforces our outlook that we are on track to deliver top-line growth over the course of the year, and to become profitable on an annual basis.”
1 A non-GAAP measure, we define Adj. EBITDA as net income (loss) with adjustments for interest expense and other income, income tax expense, gain (loss) on change in warrant liability, depreciation and amortization expenses and stock-based compensation expense. See “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for more information regarding this non-GAAP financial measure.
First Quarter Financial Review
Total revenue of $9.0 million increased 3% from $8.7 million in the first quarter of 2016.
- Products revenue of $3.9 million remained flat from the same period last year.
- Maintenance & content services revenue of $3.2 million declined 6% from $3.4 million in the same period last year, due primarily to lower renewals.
- Professional services revenue of $1.9 million increased 34% from $1.4 million in the same period last year, due to improved utilization rates and a favorable sales mix.
Gross margin of 55.1% declined from 58.0% in the first quarter of 2016, due primarily to a larger amount of high-margin software sales during the first quarter of 2016.
Total operating expenses of $6.4 million decreased by 3% from $6.6 million in the same period last year, resulting primarily from continued efforts to manage expenses, while strategically investing in certain areas of the business, such as sales & marketing.
GAAP net loss was $1.3 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or ($0.04) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. On a non-GAAP basis, Adj. EBITDA loss of $560,000 compared to a loss of $432,000 in the same period last year.
At March 31, 2017, the company had no borrowings and $4.3 million in unused availability under its revolving line of credit and cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes Adj. EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under SEC regulations. In evaluating its business, RMG considers and uses Adj. EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its operating performance, and believes that many of the company's investors use this non-GAAP measure to monitor the company's performance. This measure should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure and should not be used in isolation, but in conjunction with this GAAP measure. Our definition of Adj. EBITDA is set forth in footnote (1) above, and a reconciliation between Adj. EBITDA and the relevant GAAP measure is set forth in the table at the end of this press release.
