Thu, August 13, 2009 Asure Software: Asure Announces Preliminary Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2009 Results
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire - August 13, 2009) - Asure Software (
Highlights for the quarter relative to the 3rd fiscal quarter 2009 include:
-- Total bookings grew by 11% -- Total backlog grew by 7% -- Total revenue grew by 1% -- New customers grew by 108 -- Gross margins grew by 1% to 80%
In addition to the 4th fiscal quarter financial results, the Company also announced that it reduced headcount by about 25% at the end of the fourth fiscal quarter. The headcount reduction will save the company nearly $2M annually and is part of on-going cost reductions that will help the Company achieve its near-term goal of EBITDA profitability.
"Our growth strategy for both of our software businesses is working. We had solid growth in our bookings and deferred backlog and that, coupled with our proactive expense management, will put us on a solid path to achieve EBITDA profitability by the end of this calendar year," said Nancy L. Harris, Chief Executive Officer of Asure.
The Company will outline the details of its 4th fiscal quarter results in an earnings call in September.
