Concierge Technologies Reports Fiscal First Quarter Financial Results

ACCESS Newswire
15 Nov 2019, 06:07 GMT+10

Balance Sheet Remains Strong, with Essentially No Debt

SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2019 / Concierge Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCG), a diversified global holding firm, today announced financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019.

The company reported revenues of $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with $7.2 million for the prior year. Net income for the most recent three-month period amounted to $54,892, equal to $0.00 per share, versus $285,954, or $0.01 per share, for the comparable prior year period.

Results for the fiscal 2020 first quarter, as anticipated, were impacted primarily by lower assets under management (AUM) at the company's Wainwright Holdings funds management subsidiary. Wainwright, which operates under the name, USCF Investments, currently manages 13 commodity-oriented exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The company's Other business segment, which comprised approximately 50 percent of total revenues in the most recent first quarter vs 41 percent of revenues in last year's first quarter, achieved improved revenues and income for the fiscal 2020 period. The Other segment is comprised of Gourmet Foods, Brigadier Security Systems and Original Sprout.

Concierge's balance sheet further strengthened at the end of the first fiscal quarter. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.9 million, compared with $6.5 million at June 30, 2019. Total stockholders' equity increased to $17.3 million at September 30, 2019 from $17.2 million at the end of fiscal 2019. The company has essentially no debt.

'USCF, our commodities-focused fund management subsidiary, experienced a decline in AUM throughout the past year, as did the entire commodities sector,' said David Neibert, chief operations officer of Concierge Technologies. 'Nevertheless, USCF continues to be profitable at current AUM levels and is expected to benefit when the cyclical trend for commodities shifts upward.'

The table below summarizes the performance of the Financial Services business unit as compared to Other for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

'The management teams at our Other operating units continue to make good progress. They are building their respective businesses, with strategies in place for adding new, larger distribution channels to enhance growth,' Neibert said.

'As a global holding company, our corporate goal remains to build a profitable, diverse organization, through organic growth, acquisitions and new ventures,' added Nicholas Gerber, chairman and chief executive officer. 'We are laser-focused on creating and sustaining tangible long-term value for all of our stakeholders, while at the same time not being reliant on any one business sector for that sustainability.'
