Imergent Launches Ninth Sales Team and Initiates Cash Dividend
Demand for Company?s Products and Services Remains Strong
iMergent, Inc.(AMEX: IIG), a leading provider of eCommerce software and services for small businesses and entrepreneurs, announced that is has launched its ninth sales team on March 1, 2007. Don Danks, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, ?Once again, to meet the increasing demand for our StoresOnline? Pro software, we have launched a sales team that will focus on both domestic and international markets. We are very encouraged by growth opportunities in our markets and the performance of our teams, especially since this launch follows shortly after the September 2006 introduction of our seventh and eighth sales teams.? The ninth team is expected to gradually increase its activities over the next several months, as typical. The company announced on February 6th, during the quarter ended December 31, 2006, iMergent held 297 workshops, compared to 200 workshops during the same period in the prior year. Danks concluded, ?The addition of the ninth sales team expands our ability to reach the very large entrepreneurial and small business markets. Based on the increasing demand we are seeing in these markets, we anticipate that we will launch additional sales teams in the future.? iMergent, have also announced its board of directors authorized the initiation of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share. The record date will be the twentieth day of the last month of each quarter; the first record date will be March 20, 2007. Dividends will be paid semi-annually, starting on June 29, 2007. Danks stated, ?Initiating this dividend underscores our commitment to shareholder value. The dividend is intended to deliver immediate value to our shareholders while enabling them to participate in iMergent?s future growth. Our focus on growth and our consistent execution delivered strong results during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. We believe our business will continue to provide sufficient free cash flow to invest in future growth, to fund our $20 million share repurchase program and to pay dividends.? For its second quarter of fiscal 2007, the company reported revenue of $35.7 million and record Net Dollar Volume of Contracts Written (NDVCW) of $37.6 million, representing a 50 percent increase over the second quarter last year. In addition, during the quarter, the company generated $5.1 million in net cash from operating activities. Danks continued, ?On February 6th, 2007, we increased our expectations for fiscal 2007 annual growth of NDVCW to approximately 40 percent over fiscal 2006 NDVCW, of $99.8 million. Additionally, we continue to anticipate non-GAAP net income, which assumes NDVCW is recognized as revenue and related expenses are recognized at the time of sale, including income taxes at a blended rate of 40 percent, will grow at a faster percentage rate than NDVCW.? The company defines NDVCW as the gross dollar amount of contracts executed during the period less estimates for bad debts, discounts incurred on sales of trade receivables, and estimates for customer returns and believes NDVCW, although a non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) metric, is a relevant metric to understand company operations.
