Earnings per share improved $0.07 per share as software revenue
grew 22 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 MINNEAPOLIS,
Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XATA Corporation (NASDAQ: XATA),
today reported third quarter revenue of $17.6 million for the
period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 9 percent compared to
$16.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2008. The increase in
revenue was primarily driven by a 22 percent growth in software
revenue and the acquisition of 6 new customers in the third quarter
of fiscal 2009. Software revenue for the third quarter of fiscal
2009, including monthly subscriptions from XATANET and monthly fees
from our MobileMax and OpCenter(TM) product lines, accounted for 51
percent of total revenue compared to 45 percent for the same
quarter of fiscal 2008. For the third quarter of fiscal 2009
XATANET revenue increased by 28 percent compared to the same period
of fiscal 2008. "Our third quarter results continue to support the
trucking industry's demand for software solutions that enhance
fleet optimization and lower operating costs," said Jay Coughlan,
chairman and president of XATA Corporation. "With over 71,000
systems deployed in the private fleet and for-hire segments of the
trucking industry we remain focused on our goal of achieving a
deployed system base in excess of 100,000 systems in the next few
years." Operationally, gross margins as a percent of revenue
decreased to 43 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2009
compared to 44 percent for the same period of fiscal 2008 driven by
an 18 percentage point decrease in systems margins. The decrease in
systems margins was offset by growth in higher margin software
revenue and improved software margin performance. Software margins
increased to 72 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2009
compared to 69 percent for the same period of fiscal 2008. Selling,
general and administrative costs were $5.7 million or 32 percent of
revenue and $6.1 million or 38 percent of revenue for the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. As a percentage of
revenue, these costs decreased 6 percentage points as a result of
decreased personnel costs and continuing to leverage this cost
structure. Research and development costs were $1.4 million and
$1.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Research and development costs remained constant at 8
percent of revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2009 and 2008.
The company reported an improvement in earnings per share for the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 of $0.07 per share as the net loss to
common shareholders improved to $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted
share, compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $0.7
million, or $0.08 per diluted share for the same period of fiscal
2008. For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, EBITDA (earnings before
interest (net), taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based
compensation and preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends)
increased by $0.06 per diluted share. The company reported EBITDA
of $1.6 million and $0.18 per diluted share compared to an EBITDA
of $1.0 million and $0.12 per diluted share for the same period of
fiscal 2008. "Our third quarter results continue to show our
commitment to achieving profitability as we just delivered our
sixth consecutive EBITDA positive quarter," said Mark Ties, chief
financial officer of XATA. "We remain focused on improving our
profitability while remaining opportunistic in investing in revenue
growth." Non-GAAP vs. GAAP Financials To supplement the company's
