PHOENIX, AZ — (Marketwire) — 10/24/12 — Crexendo, Inc. (NYSE MKT: EXE), a hosted services company that provides e-commerce software, website development, web hosting, search engine optimization, link building, hosted telecommunication services and broadband internet for businesses and entrepreneurs, today reported suspension of its quarterly dividend program.
Steven G. Mihaylo, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “With the company successfully redeploying assets to complete the transition to B2B operations which has essentially put the Company in the position of being a “start up,” the board determined this was the time to invest all available cash directly in the business. It was concluded that it is the most prudent option to deploy our capital towards expanding and further developing our core assets. There are substantial investments that the Company is currently engaged in, including the establishment of our telecom and web services dealer programs, expanding the Crexendo University Program, improving sales leads, adding additional redundancy and upgrading our cloud infrastructure, as well as adding features to continue to make our telecom and web services the best in the industry. These investments together with the fact that our legacy receivables are declining as expected, and that the core Crexendo operations are not yet performing profitably, make it clear that it is in the best interest of our shareholders and Company to use all available resources to continuing to improve the business. We continue to cut costs, increase efficiencies and run the Company as if it were a startup; therefore the quarterly dividend is an option we can no longer afford. Management and the board of directors unanimously believe this will be a far more accretive use of capital at this time.”
Mihaylo continued, “As a management team we are spending all of our time making the business more efficient and working towards reducing costs and improving the bottom line. As discussed earlier, I am very excited by our product progress, which is why it was time to start a dealer program. I continue to be impressed by the prospect of the University Program. The University Program has the dual advantage of training bright interested leaders of tomorrow on our web products and introducing them to the entire suite of Crexendo products and services while providing us with the immediate benefit of sticky business customers who can use our products now. We continue to improve our other products and services ensuring our technology is world class and continuing to improve on our intellectual property so we may provide our customers the best web and telecom services that are available. Considering the investments that we need to make in the Company and what I see as great opportunities with those investments, suspending the quarterly dividend is the right decision for our shareholders, our Company, our employees and our customers.”
