Insights

Financial Analyst

The 689% revenue surge to $70.1 million and 1,166% increase in net income to $2.6 million marks a transformative quarter for TSS. The company's pivot to AI-enabled server rack integrations is driving exceptional growth, with procurement revenues alone ($60.5 million) exceeding 2023's total revenue. The multi-year agreement for AI rack integration provides stable future revenue visibility and supports the planned facility expansion.

Key financial metrics show robust operational leverage: gross profit up 179%, systems integration revenue up 361% and Adjusted EBITDA growth of 358%. The Nasdaq uplisting should improve stock liquidity and institutional investor access. Management's guidance suggests sustained performance through H1 2025, indicating this growth trajectory isn't a one-time event.

Tech Industry Analyst

TSS's strategic positioning in AI infrastructure integration represents perfect timing as the AI computing boom accelerates. The planned facility expansion addresses two critical market demands: increased volume capacity and higher power requirements for next-gen AI systems. The multi-year agreement with a major customer validates TSS's technical capabilities in the competitive AI infrastructure space.

The 1,016% surge in procurement revenues indicates strong supply chain execution and trusted vendor status in the AI hardware ecosystem. The new facility investment shows foresight in scaling for future AI computing demands, which typically require specialized power and cooling infrastructure.

Uplists to The Nasdaq Capital Market

ROUND ROCK, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2024 / TSS, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSSI), a data center services company that integrates AI and other high-performance computing infrastructure and software and provides related data center services, today reported results for its third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

"We are pleased to report a dramatic increase in earnings in the third quarter, both sequentially and year-over-year," said Darryll Dewan, CEO of TSS. "This is the first quarter that includes a full period of revenue for AI-enabled server rack integrations at meaningful volumes. Even more encouraging is the recent signing of an agreement with one of our largest customers to build similar volumes of AI-enabled racks for the next several years. To address both the anticipated volume and the ever-increasing power demands expected from the next several generations of AI racks, we plan to relocate from our current integration facility to a new, larger facility in the area in early 2025."

Dewan continued, "As we expand our physical footprint with a new state-of-the-art facility, we have also elevated our market presence by transitioning from the OTC Markets to the Nasdaq Capital Market today. This dual relocation strategy - both operational and financial - positions TSS to better serve our growing customer base while providing our shareholders with enhanced visibility and liquidity on a premier technology-focused exchange."

Dewan added, "Further accelerating our earnings growth, we delivered a significant increase in procurement revenues in the third quarter, up over 1,000% compared to the third quarter of last year. In the third quarter, procurement revenues alone exceeded the entire company's total revenues for all of 2023. This business carries modest margins and provides a nice contribution to the quarter's operating margin, given minimal overhead costs."

Year-to-date, we have delivered $98 million in total revenues, more than three times the amount compared to the same period last year, and effectively leveraged our expense structure to grow the bottom line at an even faster pace. The recent signing of a multi-year agreement with one of our largest customers to integrate AI-enabled racks fundamentally changes the earnings potential of the company. Importantly, this agreement increases our visibility into future opportunities and delivery requirements in this rapidly evolving space and provides a strong foundation from which we can continue to grow profitably."

Keeping in mind the timing of orders and the mix of services we provide can fluctuate quarter-to-quarter, the multi-year agreement we secured with one of our largest customers will reduce variability and provide greater certainty in our earnings stream.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure not defined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, provision for bad debts and certain extraordinary items. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this supplemental measure of operating performance is helpful in comparing our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on our results of operations in any particular period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the heading "Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation" following the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in this press release.
