(firmenpresse) - CASTLE ROCK, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/01/12 -- Integrated Management Information, Inc. (d.b.a. IMI Global, Inc.) (OTCQB: WFCF) (OTCBB: WFCF)
Integrated Management Information, Inc. (d.b.a. IMI Global, Inc.) (OTCQB: WFCF) (OTCBB: WFCF), a leading provider of verification and Internet solutions for the agricultural/livestock industry under the Where Food Comes From® brand, today announced record revenue and net income for its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2012.
"We continue to generate positive financial results and maintain a strong balance sheet, and are looking forward to continued success in the second half of the year," said John Saunders, chairman and CEO of IMI Global. "Our consistent growth is a testament to the strength of our broad solutions portfolio and the hard work and commitment of employees and contractors at all levels of our organization. In addition to our solid financial performance, our second quarter was highlighted by the addition of the Company's first regional restaurant chain -- Anderson's Frozen Custard in western New York -- to our Where Food Comes From program. We now have anchor customers in both the restaurant and grocery segments and are focused on adding new, quality customers in both areas. Also of note in the second quarter, we changed our stock symbol to WFCF to better reflect our Where Food Comes From brand strategy and to raise awareness of Company in the investment community."
In February of 2012 IMI Global acquired controlling interest in International Certification Services, Inc. (ICS), a leading provider of organic and sustainable certification services to agricultural operations and the food industry. On an unaudited basis, ICS was profitable on revenue of approximately $1.0 million in 2011. The acquisition strengthened IMI Global's solutions portfolio and is expected to accelerate the Company's revenue growth. The Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire complementary businesses.
Second quarter revenue increased 24% to a record $1,397,200 from revenue of $1,125,500 in the second quarter a year ago. It was the Company's 10th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. Revenue from verification services, which includes the Company's industry leading USVerified™ solutions, increased 25% to $1,172,200 from $938,300 in the second quarter last year. Hardware revenue consisting primarily of cattle identification tags increased 8% in the second quarter to $200,300 from $186,000 in the same quarter last year. Other revenue, primarily consisting of fees from the Where Food Comes From labeling program, grew to $24,700 in the second quarter from $1,100 in the same quarter last year.
Gross margin in the second quarter increased to $756,000 from $677,200 in the same quarter last year. As a percent of revenue, second quarter gross margin declined to 54% from 60% year over year.
Selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter increased 48% year over year to $581,400 from $393,500 due to increased investments in promoting the Where Food Comes From program as well as costs associated with the Company's acquisition of controlling interest in ICS in the first quarter of 2012.
IMI Global recognized a second quarter income tax benefit of $127,400 related to the release of the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. Net income attributable to IMI Global in the second quarter was $304,300, or $0.01 per share, versus net income of $276,900, or $0.01 per share, in the same quarter last year.
Revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, increased 25% to a record $2,426,500 from $1,947,300 in the same period last year based on strong market demand for the Company's core verification solutions as well as a growing contribution to revenue from Where Food Comes From and ICS.
Verification revenue grew by 25% to $2,018,100 from $1,620,300 in the same period last year. Hardware revenue grew 11% to $357,200 from $323,000 a year ago. And revenue from Where Food Comes From and other sources increased dramatically to $51,200 from $4,000.
Gross margin through six months grew to 1,326,900, or 55% of revenue, from gross margin of $1,129,300, or 58% of revenue, in the same period of 2011.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased 41% for the year-to-date period to $1,069,500 from $760,500, primarily as a result of increased advertising, marketing and consulting costs associated with promoting Where Food Comes From.
Net income through six months, inclusive of an income tax benefit of $409,500, was $666,400, or $0.03 per share, versus net income of $354,400, or $0.02 per share, in the same period a year ago.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2012, totaled $1.2 million, down only slightly from $1.3 million at 2011 year-end despite the Company having paid $215,000 in cash associated with the ICS transaction and having paid down $50,000 in long-term debt.
