"We continued to deliver solid growth with our core verification business and our Where Food Comes From solution in the first quarter," said John Saunders, chairman and CEO. "Revenue grew by 25% while net income increased by 368% -- both first quarter records. We have now achieved nine consecutive quarters of year-over-year revenue and earnings growth and, based on current trends in our business, we are optimistic about our prospects for long-term success.
"In April we added our first regional restaurant chain to our Where Food Comes From program -- Anderson's Frozen Custard in western New York -- giving us a strong anchor customer in the restaurant sector to complement our flagship grocery customer -- Heinen's of northern Ohio," Saunders added. "The addressable market for Where Food Comes From is very large and we are being selective in our rollout to ensure high quality standards and to establish solid reference customers. We believe our Where Food Comes From offering will be a long-term growth driver for IMI Global. We're also happy to report that our partnership with ICS is progressing according to plan," Saunders added. "We are collaborating on product training and cross-selling initiatives that are expected to increase revenue and profitability for both businesses."
First Quarter Results
First quarter revenue increased 25% to a record $1.0 million from revenue of $821,800 in the first quarter last year. Revenue from verification services, led by the Company's industry leading USVerified™ solutions, increased 24% to $845,800 from $682,000 in the first quarter last year. The increase is due to a combination of higher demand for the Company's core services and a $77,000 contribution to revenue from ICS' organic solutions. Hardware revenue consisting primarily of cattle identification tags increased 15% in the first quarter to $157,000 from $137,000 in the same quarter last year. Other revenue, primarily consisting of fees from the Where Food Comes From labeling program, grew by 823% to $26,500 from $2,900 in the same quarter a year ago.
Gross margin in the first quarter was $571,000 versus $452,100 in the first quarter last year. As a percent of revenue, first quarter gross margin increased slightly to 56% in the first quarter from 55% in the first quarter last year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the first quarter increased 33% year over year to $488,100 from $367,000 in the same quarter last year due to increased headcount and investments associated with promoting Where Food Comes From, costs related to the ICS transaction, and to approximately $46,000 in SG&A expense from ICS.
IMI Global recognized an income tax benefit in the first quarter related to release of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Inclusive of the $282,100 income tax benefit, the Company reported record first quarter net income of $362,100, or $0.02 per share, a 368% increase over net income of $77,400, or less than one cent per share, in the first quarter of 2011**.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
IMI Global generated $39,400 in net cash from operations in the first quarter, up from $4,400 in the first quarter a year ago.
