SAN DIEGO--April 26, 2000--for the First Quarter of 2000;
Core Business Database Marketing Revenue Increased 83%
Newgen Results Corporation (NASDAQ: NWGN), a leading provider of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and e-CRM services to automotive dealerships, today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, total revenues rose to a record $19.8 million, from $12.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. Income from operations increased to $964,052, from $629,984 for last year's first quarter. Newgen's reported net income was $1.1 million, or $0.10 per share (diluted) for the first quarter 2000, compared to $524,162, or $0.03 per share (diluted) for the same quarter last year. Newgen's net income for the first quarter on a fully taxed basis was $723,039 or $0.07 per share (diluted) compared to $95,434, or $0.02 per share (diluted) in the same quarter a year ago.
Gerald Benowitz, Chairman, President and CEO of Newgen said, "During the quarter, we successfully completed the closure of Computer Care's Amityville, New York facility, which is already resulting in cost efficiencies for Newgen. One of our goals for 2000 is to encourage dealerships using Computer Care's program to convert to our RESULTS system. We are making substantial progress with this effort and to date we have converted more dealerships than we originally anticipated."
Benowitz continued, "We believe we are the number one provider of CRM and e-CRM services to the automobile dealership industry. We are going to continue to invest in our new initiatives, Carabunga.com and Newgen Management Services, in order to maintain our leadership position and provide dealerships the broadest product offering available."
Sam Simkin, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer said, "Sales of our core business database marketing grew at a rate of 83% from the first quarter of 1999 to the first quarter of 2000. As expected, Newgen's gross margin decreased slightly in the first quarter due to the high variable costs attributable to the Computer Care operation. We anticipate that our gross margin will increase in future quarters now that we will be producing all letters from our San Diego facility."
