Randall K. Fields, Chairman and CEO of Park City Group commented, “Growth of 6% in our recurring revenue drove a 36% increase in GAAP net income and a 50% increase in earnings per share, demonstrating the compelling leverage and earnings power of our business model. This systemic profitability enabled us to continue investing in our business to drive efficiency as we scale, repurchase more than 20,000 shares of our common stock and reduced our bank debt by 50%. At the same time, the Traceability opportunity is rapidly accelerating.”

“Just last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration provided more information on the track-and-trace initiative, and though proposed timelines are likely to be litigated and delayed, early adopters are already taking steps to prepare for the new mandates,” added Mr. Fields. “Many of our larger customers are aligned with the FDA’s goals, as traceability provides significant visibility into the supply chain, reducing risk and improving efficiency. We are partnered with National Grocers Association, a leading trade organization that covers one-third of all grocery stores and more independent owners than any other trade group, and working with major grocers to deploy parts of our traceability solution in parts of their business before broad-based requirements take hold.”

Mr. Fields concluded, “With $21.6 million, or $1.17 per share, in cash, Park City maintains a fortress balance sheet. In addition, we have more than five consecutive years of GAAP profitability, and during the first quarter, we generated $1.8 million in cash from operations. We are well positioned to succeed in an economic environment that is likely to challenge smaller, less capitalized competitors.”

First Fiscal Quarter Financial Results (three months ended September 30, 2022, vs. three months ended September 30, 2021):

Total revenue was $4.72 million as compared to $4.56 million in the prior-year first quarter, as growth in recurring revenue offset the planned elimination of non-recurring revenue and sunsetting for non-core services. Total operating expense of $3.5 million was up 3% compared to $3.4 million last year, reflecting investments in traceability and other growth initiatives. GAAP net income was $1.3 million compared to $947,000. Net income to common shareholders was $1.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $800,000, or $0.04 per diluted share.

In September, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.015 per share ($0.06 per year), payable to shareholders of record on October 17, 2022.
