Company Files Annual Report Form 10-K with Profitable Results
Balance Sheet Remains Strong, Stockholder Equity Increases Despite Downturn in Commodities
SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / Concierge Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:CNCG), a diversified global holding firm, today announced financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended June 30, 2019.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, the company reported revenues of $26.9 million, compared with $28.7 million for the prior year. Concierge reported net income of $261,849, equal to $0.01 per fully diluted share, for fiscal 2019, versus $1.7 million, or $.05 per fully diluted share, for the prior year.
Concierge's balance sheet remained strong at fiscal year-end, with cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million in addition to $3.8 million in cash investments, essentially no debt, and total assets of $21.3 million.
The company said that, as expected, results for fiscal 2019 were impacted primarily by a continuing market-related decline in average assets under management (AUM) to $2.7 billion from $3.4 billion at its Wainwright Holdings funds management subsidiary. Wainwright, under the operating name, USCF Investments, currently manages ten commodity exchange-traded products (ETPs) and three exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are all listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Concierge said each of its other business units-Gourmet Foods, Brigadier Security Systems and Original Sprout-recorded increases in revenues and income.
For the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Concierge reported revenues of $5.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The decline in revenues was a direct result of lower AUM in 2019 as compared with 2018. Net operating income for the 2019 fiscal fourth quarter totaled approximately $500,000 but depreciation expense, accrued incentive bonuses and income tax, produced a net loss of approximately $116,000 or ($0.00) per share, compared with net income of approximately $900,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the 2018 fiscal fourth quarter.
"Our fourth quarter is when we accrue the full year incentive bonuses, calculate and accrue income tax domestically and abroad, and otherwise accrue all of the expenses anticipated to apply to the fiscal year just ended", explained David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer, "thus this quarter presents a skewed operating result."
"Our long-term strategy is to build a diverse, profitable company, with balance among our businesses to offset cyclicality in any one sector," said Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer of Concierge Technologies. "Concierge established its current holding company structure just four years ago. During this time, we have put together a talented team and built a solid, high quality platform from which to grow by acquisition of profitable companies in our current and new sectors, as well as organically."
Stuart Crumbaugh, Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our three non-financial services subsidiaries combined have been accounting for an increasing percentage of the company's total revenues, offsetting, in part, the dominance of our financial services business unit during this cyclical downturn. In fiscal 2019, the non-financial operating units accounted for 44 percent of total revenues on a combined basis, versus 35 percent in fiscal 2018 and 25 percent in fiscal 2017. The table below depicts this trend.

"While this past year our fund management business experienced a decline in AUM, the business is fundamentally sound and continues to be profitable. Three years ago, AUM was $4.5 billion, and as is the nature of commodity-focused financial products, we fully expect the sector to rebound," Crumbaugh said.
