Rimage Updates Outlook on Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
MINNEAPOLIS — Rimage Corporation (NASDAQ: RIMG) today announced that it expects revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 to be in the range of $18.0 to $18.3 million. The Company previously provided guidance for second quarter 2012 revenues of $19 to $21 million.
Sherman L. Black, president and CEO, said, “The shortfall in our revenue expectations was the result of weaker than anticipated revenues from disc publishing. Qumu revenues came in as expected. Disc publishing hardware revenues were negatively impacted by slower than anticipated demand in Europe and the delay of several transactions in North America due to customer funding challenges. The lower than expected hardware revenues will impact our gross margin and our ability to recognize certain tax benefits, resulting in a second quarter 2012 net loss below our previous guidance of $(0.15) to $(0.17) per share.”
“In the third quarter, we expect disc publishing revenues to increase from the second quarter level. In addition, Qumu is demonstrating good traction. It ended June with a record contracted commitment backlog of approximately $6.6 million, which included the largest transaction in its history with a Fortune 50 company. In July, Qumu closed another multi-million dollar contract with a large European-based enterprise. These transactions will be recognized into revenue over the next several quarters.”
The Company will provide additional details on its second quarter results and business outlook in its second quarter earnings release and conference call, scheduled for Thursday, July 26.
