ReposiTrak Delivers First Fiscal Quarter Revenue of $5.4 Million and Earnings Per Share of $0.09

Traceability Onboarding Continues to Accelerate as Industry Recalls Drive Supplier Urgency

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 14, 2024-- ReposiTrak (NYSE: TRAK), the world's largest food traceability and regulatory compliance network, built upon its proven inventory management and out-of-stock reduction SaaS platform, today announced financial results for the first fiscal quarter (“FQ1 2025”) ended September 30, 2024.

First Fiscal Quarter Financial Highlights:

  • First quarter total revenue increased 8% to $5.4 million from $5.1 million.
  • Recurring revenue increased 6%, reflecting non-recurring initial set-up fees for the rapidly increasing number of traceability customers onboarding to the system.
  • Quarterly operating expense increased 3% to $4.0 million from $3.9 million.
  • Quarterly operating income increased 23% to $1.5 million from $1.2 million last year.
  • Quarterly GAAP net income increased 21% to $1.7 million from $1.4 million last year.
  • Quarterly net income to common shareholders was $1.6 million, up 26% from $1.2 million last year.
  • Quarterly EPS of $0.09 compared to $0.07 in the prior year first fiscal quarter.
  • The Company finished the quarter with $25.8 million in cash and no bank debt.
  • During the quarter, the Company redeemed 70,093 preferred shares for the stated redemption price of $10.70 per share for a total of $749,995.

Randall K. Fields, Chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak, commented, “Traceability continues to exceed our expectations. The cadence of onboarding is accelerating, reaching a record level in the last month, driven by three significant catalysts. First, the recent spate of recalls due to deadly listeria, E. coli and other contaminations, is driving demands for improved food safety. Second, more and more major retailers, including the three largest in the U.S., are now requiring all food be traced, massively increasing the addressable market. And third, the FDA mandate deadline is rapidly approaching.”

“We are well-positioned to address the growing challenge of enabling the industry to meet the requirements,” continued Mr. Fields. “We continue to utilize automation to more efficiently collect the required data, but our commitment to our customers requires us to move at a measured pace to ensure accuracy. When fully onboarded, customers in-hand today are sufficient to increase our revenue by approximately 50%. We will continue to add to this pipeline as we approach the January, 2026 deadline.”

“We are confident that customers in-hand plus our pipeline will result in a doubling of our annual recurring revenue over the next three years,” concluded Mr. Fields. “This confidence is supported by our growing pipeline, the commitment from major retailers, including three of the largest food retailers in the United States, to expand traceability to the entire food supply chain.”

First Fiscal Quarter Financial Results (three months ended September 30, 2024, vs. three months ended September 30, 2023):

Total revenue was up 8% to $5.4 million as compared to $5.1 million in the prior-year first quarter. Total operating expense was $4.0 million, up 3% compared to $3.9 million last year. General and administrative expense increased by 1%. GAAP net income was $1.7 million compared to $1.4 million. Net income to common shareholders was $1.6 million, or $0.09 per basic and $0.08 per fully diluted share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.07 per basic and fully diluted share.

Return of Capital:

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company redeemed 70,093 preferred shares at the stated redemption price of $10.70 per share for a total of $749,995. To date, the Company has redeemed 291,400 shares of preferred stock for a total of $3.1 million. The remaining amount of the preferred share redemption is $5.8 million. As previously announced, the Company anticipates redeeming all of its preferred shares issued and outstanding over the next three years. In addition, the Company has approximately $8 million remaining of the $21 million total common share buyback authorization.

On September 19, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0165 per share ($0.066 per year), payable to shareholders of record on September 30, 2024, which was paid to shareholders of record on or about November 13, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the Board of Directors approved another 10% increase to ReposiTrak’s quarterly dividend, to $0.01815 per quarter ($0.0726 per share annually) beginning with the dividend payable to shareholders of record on December 31, 2024. Subsequent dividends will be paid within 45 days of each fiscal quarter end.

Balance Sheet:

The Company had $25.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024, compared to $25.2 million at June 30, 2024. Given the Company’s liquidity, the Company chose not to renew its working line of credit. The Company carries no bank debt.
