Simultaneously, our cost rationalization efforts over the past year resulted in a 22% year-over-year decline in operating expenses, ultimately driving a $1.2 million improvement in EBITDA.”
“We made progress on our key growth initiatives, including closing sales orders for three supply chain pilots, a million dollar retail banking deal and a $425,000 deal with a large telecommunications customer,” Mr. Michelson continued. “We also advanced discussions with specific, targeted, third-party sales channel partners, who have the potential to augment our growth, and look forward to announcing new partnerships in the coming months. Overall, we are pleased with the strategic and financial progress made during the first quarter. We continue to broaden our customer base, expand our pipeline with larger and more meaningful sales opportunities and are optimistic in our outlook for 2016.”

Maintenance & content services revenue of $3.4 million remained flat from the first quarter of 2015.
Professional services revenue of $1.4 million decreased 51% from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2015, resulting primarily from installation services performed during the first quarter of 2015, associated with the sale of a large customer solution made during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses, declined to $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 from $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2015, resulting from the company–s cost rationalization efforts during 2015.

Reported Results
First Quarter. Total reported revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $8.7 million compared to total reported revenue of $9.3 million for the same quarter last year.
Operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $1.6 million compared to $4.0 million for the same quarter last year.

Looking forward, we are encouraged by the progress we continue to make in our key growth initiatives, and believe the investments we are making in our sales organization will lead to continued sequential revenue growth in 2016.”
