HOUSTON, Aug. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sharps Compliance Corp. (Nasdaq:SMED) ("Sharps" or the "Company"), a leading full-service provider of solutions for the cost-effective management of medical waste, used healthcare materials and unused dispensed medications, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2014, ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $7.1 million, a 35% increase as compared to revenue of $5.3 million in the same prior year quarter. Fourth quarter operating income was $1.7 million as compared to an operating loss of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Sharps recorded net income of $1.6 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $0.7 million, or ($0.05) per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2013. Fiscal fourth quarter 2014 net income includes the positive impact of the $1.5 million, or $0.10 per share, legal settlement related to the Company's claims against the U.S. government related to a January 2012 contract termination.

Customer billings grew 46% to $7.4 million compared to the prior year period. The company reported record growth in the Retail segment and very strong growth in the Pharmaceutical, Professional and Environmental markets. The Assisted Living segment recorded 4% growth and Home Health Care billings decreased 9% as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. (See Reconciliation of Customer Billings to Revenue in the supplemental table included at the end of this release).

David P. Tusa, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sharps, commented, "As we expected and reported previously, we delivered over $7 million in fourth quarter customer billings driven by strong growth in the Retail, Professional, Pharmaceutical and Environmental markets.

"During the quarter we also announced our June 30, 2014 agreement to settle our claims against the United States government and various agencies related to the January 2012 termination of the Company's February 2009 contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The settlement agreement resulted in a cash payment of $1.5 million to Sharps which we received in July 2014."

Focused sales and marketing initiatives continue to drive revenue

Pharmaceutical Manufacturer billings grew by 91% to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the fourth quarter last year. Several large orders for new inventory builds for existing customers contributed to the strength of Pharmaceutical Manufacturer market performance in the June 2014 quarter. During the second half of calendar year 2014, the Company will launch two new patient support programs for new drugs. In addition, during calendar year 2015 and through the first half of calendar 2016, Sharps expects to launch four additional patient support programs for new drug therapies.

Professional market billings grew 38% to $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company has continued its focus on inside sales initiatives and promotional activities around educating doctors, dentists, veterinarians and other healthcare professionals on the favorable economics and convenience of the Sharps^® Recovery mailback system as compared to the traditional pick-up service for the small quantity generator sector. The Company's inside and online sales channel, which is focused primarily on the Professional market, realized a 14% increase in billings to $1.1 million in the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter from $0.9 million in the prior-year period.

Retail market billings grew 184% to $2.0 million, compared with $0.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was related to the timing of large flu shot orders for the upcoming flu season, which the Company recognized during the June 2014 quarter. Retail pharmacies are increasing the amount and variety of healthcare services they provide and this segment represents a long-term growth driver and key competitive advantage, given Sharps' estimated 75% market share in this segment.

Environmental market billings grew more than 200% to $0.3 million, compared with $0.1 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by focused marketing initiatives around third party treatment services which continued to gain strength during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Home Health Care market billings decreased by 9% to $1.7 million for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of ordering patterns. Fourth quarter Assisted Living billings were $0.4 million, a 4% increase compared to the prior-year period.

"During the June quarter we announced the expansion of our product offerings through the launch of our ship-back program for universal waste. We are working with Veolia to provide a safe, eco-friendly method for the disposal of fluorescent lights, batteries and other mercury containing devices. This arrangement demonstrates our commitment to providing environmentally sustainable waste management services and is an effective way for us to broaden our portfolio of mail and ship-back solutions by offering this complementary service to our customers."

Steady operating performance

Gross margin improved to 36.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 compared with gross margin of 30.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased to $2.3 million as compared to $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 33% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to 41% of sales in the same prior year period.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 the Company generated operating income of $1.7 million as compared to an operating loss of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company recorded EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to an EBITDA loss of $0.4 million in 2013. Sharps believes that when used in conjunction with GAAP measures, EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, provides additional information related to its operating performance. Fourth quarter operating income and EBITDA include a $1.5 million legal settlement related to the Company's claims against the U.S. government related to a contract termination.

Fiscal 2014 Review

Sharps recorded revenue of $26.6 million in fiscal 2014, an increase of 23% compared to revenue of $21.5 million in fiscal 2013. Customer billings increased 25% to $26.6 million in fiscal 2014. Professional market billings increased 38% to $5.3 million in 2014 as compared to $3.9 million in the prior year period. Pharmaceutical Manufacturer billings increased 55% to $3.7 million in fiscal 2014 as compared to $2.4 million in fiscal 2013. Retail billings grew 27.1% to $6.4 million as compared to $5.0 million in fiscal 2013. Home Health Care billings grew 8% to $7.3 million in fiscal 2014 as compared to $6.7 million in fiscal 2013.

Fiscal 2014 gross margin was 33.8% as compared to gross margin of 29.5% in fiscal 2013. SG&A expense was $9.1 million in fiscal 2014, an increase of 6% over the prior year period SG&A expense of $8.6 million as a result of increased investment in sales and marketing initiatives. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 34% for fiscal 2014 as compared to 40% in fiscal 2013. Sharps recorded operating income of $1.0 million in fiscal 2014 as compared to an operating loss of $2.7 million in fiscal 2014.

EBITDA grew to $2.1 million in fiscal 2014 as compared to EBITDA loss of $1.6 million in fiscal 2013. Net income in fiscal 2014 was $1.0 million or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million or a loss of ($0.18) per basic and diluted share in fiscal 2013. Fiscal 2014 operating income, EBITDA and net income include a $1.5 million legal settlement related to the Company's claims against the U.S. government related to a contract termination.             

Financial flexibility and a strong balance sheet

Cash and cash equivalents were $13.7 million at June 30, 2014 and working capital was $17.9 million. At June 30, 2014, stockholders' equity and total assets were $21.9 million and $26.5 million, respectively, compared with $21.1 million and $25.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013. The current cash balance is approximately $16 million which reflects the collection of June 2014 quarter receivables and the $1.5 million settlement payment from the US Government.

In January 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $3.0 million over a two-year period. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not repurchase any shares. However, since the inception of the program, the Company has repurchased 161,801 shares under the program at a cost of $681,000.

Outlook

Mr. Tusa stated, "Performance across all of our businesses was very strong this quarter. As the leading provider of innovative, customized programs for pharmaceutical manufacturers, we are particularly pleased to see that our customers in this segment are beginning to recognize the value of our service as a data and compliance provider that supports their patient support programs and not simply a waste disposal solution. The success of our collaboration with the pharmaceutical manufacturers is demonstrated by our plans to launch two new programs during the second half of calendar year 2014 and four new programs in calendar year 2015 and through the first half of calendar 2016.       

"During the last few quarters we've made a concentrated effort to strengthen our sales team by adding more experienced sales personnel and we're beginning to see results from this initiative. 

"Our Company is well positioned to benefit from the continuing changes in healthcare delivery from traditional to alternative sites, from the aging population and from increasing regulations related to the disposal of unused medications and medical waste. Likewise, we continue to build our already strong position with pharmaceutical manufacturers improving patient medication adherence, increasing compliance and enhancing branding."

The Company defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as net income (loss), plus income tax expense (benefit), interest income, and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may define EBITDA differently. EBITDA is presented because it is a financial measure that is frequently requested by third parties. However, EBITDA is not considered under generally accepted accounting principles as a primary measure of an entity's financial results, and accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), or cash flows as determined under generally accepted accounting principles and as reported by the Company.
