Insights

Issuer Direct's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While total revenue increased 10% sequentially to $7.7 million, it's down 20% year-over-year. The Communications segment showed resilience, remaining flat YoY and growing 9% QoQ. However, the Compliance segment saw a significant 53% YoY decline.

The company's focus on expense management is promising, with expected cost reductions of $400,000 per quarter. This could help offset the revenue decline. The 15% increase in core news distribution customer volumes is a positive sign for future growth.

Profitability metrics have weakened, with operating income dropping to $334,000 from $1,747,000 in Q2 2023. The GAAP net income of just $7,000 is concerning. However, non-GAAP metrics like Adjusted EBITDA ($1,465,000) and non-GAAP net income ($847,000) provide a slightly more optimistic view.

The customer acquisition trend is noteworthy. Issuer Direct's active customer base grew to 12,388, up from 10,449 in Q2 2023. This 18.6% increase in customers, despite revenue declines, suggests potential for future revenue growth if the company can effectively monetize these relationships.

The Communications segment now represents 77% of total revenue, up from 62% in Q2 2023. This shift indicates a strategic pivot towards higher-margin, potentially more stable revenue streams. The 17% QoQ growth in ACCESSWIRE news distribution is particularly encouraging.

However, the decline in Compliance revenue, especially in print and proxy fulfillment services, highlights vulnerabilities in traditional business lines. The company may need to innovate or diversify further to offset these declines in the evolving corporate services landscape.

Issuer Direct's performance in digital communications services is a bright spot amidst overall revenue declines. The 9% QoQ growth in Communications revenue, driven by a 17% increase in ACCESSWIRE news distribution, suggests strong product-market fit and execution in this segment.

The company's ability to maintain a 78% gross margin in Communications (up from 76% YoY) indicates efficient scaling and potential for improved profitability as volumes increase. This is important for tech-driven services in the corporate communications space.

However, the decline in transfer agent services revenue due to decreased market activity and corporate actions is concerning. It highlights the need for Issuer Direct to continue innovating and potentially explore AI or blockchain technologies to enhance and differentiate its offerings in this competitive landscape.

RALEIGH, NC / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2024 / Issuer Direct Corporation (NYSE American:ISDR) (the "Company"), a leading communications company, today reported its operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

"In the second quarter, we were pleased to see a 10% sequential increase in total revenues, reaching $7.7 million. However, this was 20% lower on a year-over-year basis compared to Q2 2023, a quarter which included a few significant, one-time annual meeting projects as previously discussed. We experienced a rebound in our Communications business, which increased 9% from Q1 2024 and remained flat compared to the same quarter of 2023. Finally, our focus on expense management has enabled us to lower costs by approximately $400,000 per quarter, which will be fully realized in the second half of the year and beyond," said Brian R. Balbirnie, Issuer Direct's Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Balbirnie continued, "we are excited to see volumes in our news distribution business come back in line with our expectations, resulting in a 15% increase in volumes from our core news distribution customers compared to the prior quarter. This increase is attributable to both the acquisition of new customers and current customer activity during the quarter, something we believe will continue going forward."

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights:

  • Revenue - Total revenue was $7,687,000, a 20% decrease from $9,651,000 in Q2 2023 and a 10% increase from $6,962,000 in Q1 2024. Communications revenue was flat with Q2 2023 and increased 9% from Q1 2024. The increase from Q1 2024 is primarily due to an increase in volume of our ACCESSWIRE news distribution brand, for which revenue increased 17% compared to the previous quarter. Communications revenue was 77% of total revenue for Q2 2024, compared to 62% for Q2 2023 and 78% for Q1 2024. Revenue from our Compliance business decreased 53% from Q2 2023, however, increased 16% from Q1 2024. The decrease in Compliance revenue is due to a decline in revenue from our print and proxy fulfillment services due to a few one-time, significant transactions which occurred during Q2 2023, however, did not occur in the current year. The increase in Compliance revenue as compared to Q1 2024 is due to seasonality of the print and proxy fulfillment business.

  • Gross Margin - Gross margin for Q2 2024 was $5,902,000, or 77% of revenue, compared to $7,315,000, or 76% of revenue, during Q2 2023 and $5,241,000, or 75%, in Q1 2024. Communications gross margin was 78%, compared to 76% in Q2 2023 and 75% in Q1 2024.

  • Operating Income - Operating income was $334,000 for Q2 2024, as compared to operating income of $1,747,000 during Q2 2023. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to the decrease in revenue and gross margin noted earlier, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.

  • Net Income - On a GAAP basis, net income was $7,000, or $0.00 per diluted share during Q2 2024, compared to $1,363,000, or $0.36 per diluted share during Q2 2023.

  • Operating Cash Flows - Cash flows from operations for Q2 2024 were $(190,000) compared to $1,731,000 in Q2 2023. The decrease is primarily driven by the large projects that occurred in the prior year, as well as the timing of required payments .

  • Non-GAAP Measures - Q2 2024 EBITDA was $1,118,000, or 15% of revenue, compared to $2,862,000, or 30% of revenue, during Q2 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $1,465,000, or 19% of revenue, for Q2 2024 compared to $3,019,000, or 31% of revenue, for Q2 2023. Non-GAAP net income for Q2 2024 was $847,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $2,028,000, or $0.53 per diluted share, during Q2 2023.

First Half 2024 Highlights:

The decrease in Communications revenue is primarily related to a decrease in volume from our Newswire news distribution brand. Communications revenue was 78% of total revenue for the first half 2024 compared to 68% for the first half of 2023. Revenue from our Compliance business decreased 44% from the first half of 2023. The decrease in Compliance revenue is due to a decline in revenue from our print and proxy fulfillment services due to a few one-time, significant transactions which occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023, however, did not occur in the current year. Additionally, we experienced a decrease in revenue from our transfer agent services due to a decrease in market activity and corporate actions and directives.

  • Gross Margin - Gross margin for the first half of 2024 was $11,143,000, or 76% of revenue, compared to $14,105,000, or 77% of revenue, during the first half of 2023. Communications gross margin was 77% for both the first half of 2024 and 2023.

  • Operating Income - Operating income was $282,000 for the first half of 2024, compared to operating income of $2,328,000 during the first half of 2023.
