NOTE: To better reflect the manner in which these revenue
streams are generated and assessed by management, beginning in the
first quarter of 2014, Tucows reclassified its revenue streams into
Domain Services and Network Access Services. Domain Services
includes Wholesale OpenSRS (Domain Service and Value Added
Services), Retail (Hover) and Portfolio. Network Access
Services includes Ting.
"The strong momentum in our business, driven by the growing
contribution of Ting, is evident in our bottom line as net earnings
for the second quarter doubled year-over-year to $0.12 per share," said Elliot Noss, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Tucows Inc. "Ting saw another solid quarter of
customer growth, adding more than 12,000 accounts and 18,000
devices to end the quarter at 73,000 accounts and 113,000
devices. Gross margin per account remains strong, customer
acquisition costs remain low. Importantly, Ting's
contribution is really starting to show through in our overall
results and was the primary reason for second quarter consolidated
gross margin increasing by 5% to 27% from 22% a year earlier."
Mr. Noss added, "We continue to see steady performance from our
Domains Services business. Notably, Wholesale Domains gross
margin for the second quarter was up 11% from a year ago on similar
volumes due to our shifting sales mix to higher margin services.
Retail delivered yet another quarter of year-over-year revenue
growth in excess of 20%."
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2014 increased 14% to
$35.6 million from $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2013.
Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $1.3 million, or $0.12 per share, compared with $0.6 million, or $0.06 per share, for the second quarter of 2013.
Included in net income for the second quarter of 2014 was a
write-off of $0.3 million related to
indefinite life intangible assets, the result of the Company's
assessment, under its normal portfolio review process, that certain
domains acquired in June 2006 not be
renewed. In addition, net income for the second quarter of the
prior year included the benefit of a $0.5
million Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit from the
Ontario government.
