Cimatron Reports Revenues of $10.6M and Record Q2 Non-GAAP Operating Profit of $1.7M in Q2/12

Cimatron Limited today announced financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2012.

Highlights of Cimatron’s results for these periods include the following:

11% year-over-year revenue increase on a constant currency basis in Q2 2012
28% year-over-year non-GAAP operating profit increase in Q2 2012
16% year-over-year new license revenue growth in Q2 2012, on a constant currency basis
$4.7M positive cash flow from operating activities in the first six months of 2012

Concurrently with the announcement of its results, Cimatron today also announced it reached an agreement with the Office of Chief Scientist in the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor (OCS). Under the agreement, Cimatron paid to the OCS in July 2012 an amount of approximately $2.5M, and the OCS exempted Cimatron from any further royalty reports and payments, other than as may be required under applicable law in the event of transfer of know how outside of Israel. As a result of this agreement, Cimatron recorded additional income of approximately $0.4M in the second quarter of 2012, reflected as a lower cost of revenue in the GAAP Statements of Income for the second quarter of 2012. Such income was excluded from the non-GAAP results for the second quarter of 2012, in order to make comparisons to previous periods easier.

Commenting on the results, Danny Haran, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cimatron, noted “We are pleased to report a strong second quarter, with healthy growth in revenues and record Q2 non-GAAP operating profit. So far, 2012 unfolds to our satisfaction and according to plans. Yet, we cannot be oblivious to the ominous signs of economic slowdown, notably in Europe. We remain cautious as we move on with our business plans. I am confident that our competitive product portfolio, strong cash flow and prudent budget control will help us cope well with whatever conditions and challenges the market may present in the near future.” concluded Mr. Haran.

The following provides details on Cimatron’s GAAP and non-GAAP results for the second quarter and first six months of 2012:

GAAP:
Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $10.6 million, compared to $10.0 million recorded in the second quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2012, revenues were $20.5 million, compared to $18.9 million in the same period of 2011.

Gross Profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $9.7 million, as compared to $8.7 million in the same period in 2011. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2012 was 91% of revenues, compared to a gross margin of 87% in the second quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2012, gross income was $18.1 million, compared to $16.3 million in the same period of 2011. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30th, 2012 was 89% compared to a gross margin of 86% for the first six months of 2011. The higher gross margins in the second quarter and first six months of 2012 as compared to the parallel periods in 2011 mainly reflect the agreement with the OCS.

Operating profit in the second quarter of 2012 was $1.8 million, compared to an operating profit of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the first six months of 2012, Cimatron recorded an operating profit of $2.7 million, compared to an operating profit of $1.5 million in the first six months of 2011.

Net Profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net profit of $0.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, recorded in the same quarter of 2011. In the first six months of 2012, net profit was $1.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to a net profit of $1.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2011.

Non-GAAP:
Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $10.6 million, compared to $10.0 million recorded in the second quarter of 2011. For the first six months of 2012, revenues were $20.5 million, compared to $18.9 million in the same period of 2011.

Gross Profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $9.4 million, as compared to $8.8 million in the same period in 2011. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2012 was 89% of revenues, the same as in the second quarter of 2011. In the first six months of 2012, gross income was $18.0 million, compared to $16.5 million in the first six months of 2011. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30th, 2012 was 88%, the same as in the first six months of 2011.

Operating Profit in the second quarter of 2012 was $1.7 million, compared to an operating profit of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the first six months of 2012, Cimatron recorded an operating profit of $2.8 million, compared to an operating profit of $2.0 million in the first six months of 2011.

Net profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a net profit of $1.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, recorded in the same quarter of 2011. The contrast between operating profit (which rose in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011) and net profit (which declined in the second quarter of 2012 relative to the second quarter of 2011) was mainly attributable to two causes:

In the second quarter of 2012, income tax expense constituted 29% of income before taxes, while in Q2/11, it was 3% of income before taxes. The main reason for the higher effective tax rate is the Company’s having completed the use of its remaining U.S. tax loss carry-forwards towards the end of 2011; and
Financial expenses that the Company incurred in the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to the effect of the Euro and Israeli Shekel exchange rate changes versus the US dollar. In the second quarter of 2011, the effect of such exchange rate differences was in the opposite direction and resulted in financial income.

In the first six months of 2012, net profit was $2.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to a net profit of $2.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2011. The contrast between operating profit (which rose in the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011) and net profit (which remained the same in these two periods) was mainly attributable to the same two causes that produced a corresponding effect in the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
