CINCINNATI, April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: STRM) today announced the financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2007.
Revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 were $3.8 million compared with the record $6.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005. Operating profit for the fourth quarter was $309 thousand compared with $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005. Net earnings for the quarter were $296 thousand or $0.03 per share, compared with $2.8 million or $0.30 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.
For the 2006 fiscal year ended January 31, 2007, revenues were $15.9 million compared with $16.1 million in fiscal year 2005. Operating profit for the fiscal year was $182 thousand compared with $1.7 million in fiscal year 2005. Net earnings for fiscal year 2006 were $96 thousand or $0.01 per share compared with $2.6 million or $0.28 per share in fiscal year 2005.
J. Brian Patsy, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our fourth quarter performance was clearly disappointing and well below management's expectations. This was a direct result of the fact that we did not finalize contract negotiations on several significant transactions which we expected to close in the fourth quarter. However, it is important to note that none of these opportunities were lost. As a matter of fact, one of these transactions has already closed in the first quarter, and the remaining agreements are near completion. We are pleased to report that should the remaining agreements be completed as anticipated, we expect record first quarter revenues and an excellent start to our new fiscal year.
As I have stated in the past, significant quarterly fluctuations in revenues and operating profit may result from the timing of contract closings, as these contracts can be complex and often require extensive negotiations. Because our 2006 revenues were adversely impacted by these delays and not by the loss of any anticipated opportunities in the pipeline, we have revised our annual revenue growth expectations upward for fiscal 2007.
Here are some of the more significant milestones for fiscal 2006:
-- We signed several new major application-hosting services customers, one
of which was the first through our largest remarketing partner. These
new hosted customers will contribute to our recurring revenues in 2007
and beyond, once they are fully implemented,
-- We signed several new software licensing customers through our direct
sales force and through our remarketing partner, bringing the total
number of healthcare facilities under contract to more than 180
facilities,
-- We continued to expand the depth and breadth of our document workflow
solutions within our installed base, including an enterprise expansion
of our software license at Albert Einstein Health Network,
-- We released a major new version of our entire product portfolio and
expanded our portfolio of workflow solutions,
-- We have completed development of the integration with the GE Centricity
Business(R) solution to complement our existing integration with the GE
Centricity Enterprise(R) solution. We also completed integration with
Epic System's EpicCare(R) clinical information system and began
integration with the Eclipsys Sunrise Clinical Manager(R) system,
-- We enhanced and expanded remarketing partner relationships with GE
Healthcare, Standard Register and Healthcare Resolution Services to
increase our market presence and further leverage our hosted document
workflow solutions,
-- We increased the number of independent directors to four with the
addition of Andrew L. Turner,
-- We were named by Forbes magazine as one of the 200 Best Small
Companies, and
-- We completed the name change to Streamline Health(R), which was
approved by the shareholders at the 2006 annual meeting, to better
describe the value we bring to our customers."
Mr. Patsy continued, "We have made significant investments in our future throughout 2005 and 2006, by increasing our staff an additional 50% over the past 2 years, in order to take advantage of what we believe are significant market opportunities."
Paul W. Bridge, Jr., Streamline Health's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In January we entered into a new 5-year, $5 million revolving credit facility at favorable rates. This new credit facility provides us with the flexibility needed to achieve our anticipated growth. In early February, we repaid the outstanding balance of our debt and we are now debt free for the first time since July, 1998."
Mr. Bridge concluded, "Our 2007 operating plan is predicated on prudently investing in additional sales, product development and implementation staffs to provide the resources necessary to continue significant revenue growth in the years ahead."
Mr. Patsy continued, "We remain confident in our overall strategy, which includes expansion into new healthcare market opportunities in business process management and portal integration, while extending our distribution capabilities, domestically and internationally, through our current and anticipated new remarketing partners."
Mr. Patsy concluded, "Our vision is to provide enterprise-wide business process improvement solutions to healthcare organizations through the application of the following six integrated technologies: document workflow, document management, portal connectivity, e-forms, integration/interoperability with legacy systems and Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Our comprehensive solutions and services address and improve inefficient business processes to eliminate process "Friction Points(TM)" that impede the flow of document-centric information throughout the healthcare enterprise.
We are excited about our workflow, document management and portal connectivity solutions that 'make information flow' seamlessly throughout healthcare organizations, thereby improving operating efficiencies. Our business solutions offer healthcare organizations the tools needed to provide improved productivity, reduced administrative costs, and enhanced patient care."
