MINNEAPOLIS, MN – March 5, 2019 – Insignia Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISIG) (“Insignia”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter (“Q4”) and the full year ended December 31, 2018.

●

Insignia’s President and CEO Kristine Glancy commented, “We are proud of our performance in 2018 delivering $1.8 million in operating income and growing revenue 25.8% versus 2017. All solutions of our business grew versus 2017 and contributed to our overall results. Our innovation development drove the most significant growth in 2018; representing over $5.0 million in sales, an increase of $4.8 million versus 2017. I want to personally thank our entire organization and especially our functional leaders, as our results would not have been possible without all their contributions to our success.
 
●
CPG Sales grew sales with both existing and new clients in our core business while also building our innovation pipeline
●
Retail Sales identified new channels of business, negotiated increased stores and improved terms in existing retailers and built a pipeline of potential new retailers
●
Marketing increased overall corporate awareness by executing a new web platform, updated corporate branding, attended trade shows and created an overall social campaign
●
Business development created, tested and executed thirteen new solutions enabling us to enter into new retailers and engage with new CPG manufacturers
●
Operations delivered against all of their performance KPIs including on-time shipments, quality and accuracy of our programs while reducing operational costs
 
Ms. Glancy continued, “Despite delivering our most successful year, our performance has resulted in significant competitive pressures as shared earlier this year. While we have decreased our reliance on our top customers through our innovation development, any changes in their performance will still have an adverse
 
 
 
 
impact to our business. As we start the year in 2019, we are challenged with the loss of both a significant retailer and CPG manufacturer. As a result of these customer losses, we expect to incur operating losses in the 1st half of 2019. We are continuing to identify ways to work with these customers; however, competition has entered into agreements that are limiting our success in being able to do so. We are aggressively pursuing opportunities to replace the gap created from these lost customers via continued focus against our new solutions introduced in 2018, continued portfolio expansion in 2019 and new retailer acquisition opportunities. We will manage our overall business by aligning both costs and strategic investments while also identifying new sales drivers to remain relevant in the industry. While we face challenges in 2019, we have a strong balance sheet, a high-performing team and innovative solutions for our customers to manage the current challenges we are facing.”
 
Q4 2018 Results
Net sales increased 0.3% to $8,117,000 in Q4 2018, from $8,091,000 in Q4 2017, primarily due to an increase in innovation solutions. POPS program revenue was down due to a decrease in the number of signs placed partially offset by an increase in average price per sign, which was the result of a favorable mix of CPG clients and contracts.
 
Gross profit in Q4 2018 decreased to $3,247,000, or 40.0% of net sales, from $3,531,000, or 43.6% of net sales, in Q4 2017. The lower gross profit was primarily the result of product mix combined with a decrease in the number of POPS program signs placed.
 
Selling expenses in Q4 2018 were $899,000, or 11.1% of net sales, compared to $941,000, or 11.6% of net sales, in Q4 2017.
 
Marketing expenses in Q4 2018 were $801,000, or 9.9% of net sales, compared to $454,000, or 5.6% of net sales, in Q4 2017. Increased marketing expenses were primarily due to increased staffing and staff related costs, promotional activities, and an increase in new product development activities.
 
 
General and administrative expenses in Q4 2018 were $1,046,000, or 12.9% of net sales, compared to $1,183,000, or 14.6% of net sales, in Q4 2017.
 
Income tax expense for Q4 2018 was 22.7% of pretax income, or an expense of $119,000, compared to income tax expense of 32.8% of pretax income, or $310,000, in Q4 2017. The decrease in income tax rate was primarily due to the tax impact of The Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017.
 
As a result of the items above, the net income for Q4 2018 was $406,000, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, compared to $635,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, in Q4 2017.
 
As of December 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.2 million, compared to $4.7 million as of December 31, 2017.
