Orem, Utah (PRWEB) May 20, 2015
ActiveCare, Inc. (ACAR), a supplier of diabetes management products and wellness services for self-insured employers nationwide, reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015.
“During the quarter, we focused on organizing a national sales program that can take the ActiveCare solution to an array of sophisticated clients nationwide. We are poised to deliver on our growth objectives and deploy the ActiveCare program that mitigates healthcare costs and improves the quality of care of those diagnosed with diabetes”, commented James Dalton, Executive Chairman of ActiveCare.
Second Quarter Results
- The Company reported total revenues of $1,552,000 compared to $1,037,000 for the second quarter of the prior year. The increase is due to resupply shipments to end users who were added in the previous year.
- Gross profit was $463,000 compared to gross deficit of $1,440,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. The gross deficit in the prior year second quarter was due primarily to an increase in the reserve for inventory obsolescence of $1,400,000. The remaining increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in resupply shipments to end users.
- Loss from continuing operations was $1,230,000 compared to $4,205,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. The decrease was due to the increase in gross profit, an increase in other income of $846,000 and a decrease in operating expenses of $226,000.
- The Company reduced operating expenses by $226,000 despite an increase in stock-based compensation of $250,000. The decrease in operating expenses was due to the Company’s initiative to control expenses and decrease consulting services, professional fees, and employee compensation paid in cash.
- The Company increased other income by $846,000 primarily due to a gain on extinguishment of debt of $769,000 and a gain on liability settlements of $279,000, offset, in part, by an increase of $102,000 in interest expense. The increase in interest expense is due to the addition of third party and related party short-term debt.
“We have continued to restructure the Company’s sales model and reorganize our cost structure”, continued Dalton. The Company’s progress in these areas has reduced the cash used in operating activities for the first six months of the fiscal year by $2,765,000 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. “We are focused on creating a structure that will add value to our customers and expect revenues to grow as we attract larger employers who are searching for ways to mitigate the costs and improve the quality of healthcare.”
