ROCHESTER, NY — (Marketwire) — 02/22/12 — Veramark Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: VERA) (PINKSHEETS: VERA), a leading provider of Telecom Expense Management (TEM) solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. Revenues of $3.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 increased 8 percent from revenues of $3.6 million for the same quarter of 2010, and revenues of $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 6 percent from revenues of $13.2 million for 2010.
An accounting change related to the recognition of gains or losses associated with the Company-s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan resulted in a non-cash fourth quarter charge of $911,000 against income. The change to a mark-to-market method of accounting will recognize the effects of changes in discount rates and actuarial assumptions to the Statement of Operations in the year incurred or realized, rather than deferring portions of those gains or losses to future periods. Of the charge to fourth quarter earnings, approximately $206,000 resulted from a decline in the discount rate used to value future obligations, with the remaining $705,000 attributable to changes in actuarial assumptions. Veramark permanently suspended any new participation or growth in accrued benefits of its retirement plan in 2008.
As a result of the change in accounting treatment, Veramark reported a net loss of $687,000, or $0.07 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2011 and a loss of $1,220,000, or $0.12 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2011. Retrospectively applying the effects of the change in accounting treatment for pension liabilities, Veramark-s net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $213,000. Net income for the full year ended December 31, 2010 was $190,000.
Tony Mazzullo, Veramark-s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “The GAAP performance measures reflect the change in accounting principles around pensions, and Veramark-s settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit in the second quarter. We are making solid progress and our business fundamentals remain healthy, as evidenced by our 6 percent revenue growth year-over-year. Absent these charges, Veramark has achieved eight consecutive quarters of positive net income including (non-GAAP) net income of $224,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $555,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, or $0.02 and $0.05 per share respectively.”
Mr. Mazzullo added that, “Orders of $4.4 million received during the fourth quarter, increased total orders received for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $17.3 million, an increase of 25 percent from orders received of $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The backlog of future recurring revenues entering 2012 increased 32 percent from $9.6 million at December 31, 2010 to approximately $12.6 million at December 31, 2011, of which approximately $7.6 million is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2012. Management remains focused on our growing customer base and ongoing operational initiatives.”
