COPPELL, Texas, Aug. 12, 2021

COPPELL, Texas, Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Costar Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") (OTC Markets Group: CSTI) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2021

Revenues of $14,717, a 0.5% increase compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Operating expenses, excluding second quarter 2020 restructuring costs of $635, were down 13.3% to $4,615, compared to $5,321 in the second quarter of 2020.

GAAP net income of $4,862, or $2.94 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $498, or ($0.31) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020.

Adjusted earnings of $371, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $508, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP measure, is defined below.

Adjusted EBITDA of $783, compared to $650 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined below.
Scott Switzer, the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer stated, "The second quarter of 2021 presented a recovering but difficult global business environment. Our revenues rebounded from the first quarter of 2021 and the continued reduction in our operating expenses drove improved profitability. We launched our NDAA compliant cameras with enhanced artificial intelligence and pedestrian detection, expanding our target market and meeting customer needs. The Costar team has continued to show great resilience in a challenging situation. The strength of the team and the progress of our business transformation confirms the direction for the years ahead."

Sarah Ryder, the Company's Chief Financial Officer went on to say, "Our second quarter revenues were consistent with the prior year despite increases in sales quotation activity and order volumes. The global chip shortage and shipping and logistics issues experienced in the second quarter caused delays, pushing several orders to the third and fourth quarters of 2021. We enter the third quarter with a strong sales backlog as we continue to manage supply chain and logistics challenges. Our overall debt position decreased from $19,600 to $13,300 due to improved cash management and full forgiveness of our Payroll Protection Program loan in June 2021. In addition the Company is eligible to receive an Employee Retention Credit for the first three quarters of 2021. This credit results in a significant decrease in our payroll tax obligation, estimated to be approximately $2,550 over the three quarters."

The Company's independent auditors completed their analysis of the Company's financial condition. The Independent Auditor's Report, including financial statements and applicable footnote disclosures, is available on our website at www.costartechnologies.com.

COPPELL, Texas, Dec. 5, 2017

COPPELL, Texas, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CohuHD Costar, a Costar Technologies, Inc. company (OTC Markets Group: CSTI) announced today that it has been awarded a $2.4 million video surveillance camera contract for a major critical infrastructure project in Saudi Arabia. With the recent introduction of the RISE 4290HD series, CohuHD Costar expands the reach of its RISE series platform into long-range, day/night, thermal video surveillance applications. Working with one of the leading security solutions providers and systems integrators in the Middle East, the RISE 4290HD will provide 24/7 video surveillance for a major critical infrastructure project in Saudi Arabia. This large-scale deployment of RISE 4290HD cameras marks another important milestone for the RISE platform that requires the cameras to operate under extreme environmental conditions and at long distances.

"We're seeing increased demand for rugged cameras that can provide long-range video 24/7 in a variety of environmental conditions. The RISE 4290HD does this, and does it at a price point we believe makes it very attractive for applications such as critical infrastructure and intelligent traffic systems. We expect this project to be the first of many major security monitoring projects for the 4290HD around the world," stated Doug Means, Senior VP and GM of CohuHD Costar.

The RISE 4290HD Series dual-spectrum positioning system is the latest addition to CohuHD Costar's RISE family of products and has been awarded the 2017 GSN Airport, Seaport, Border Security Award for Best Long-Range/High-Res Camera by Government Security News.

The ultra-rugged design of all CohuHD RISE products allows the company to offer a lifetime warranty against water ingress.

Yeah, what a garbage idea. LoL LoL LoL ROFL!!!!

I didn't write those articles. CSTI earns money and has an audited financials. It went up because of that.

I know, real difficult to understand. Besides, CSTI is the worst pick of my 5 so far so I'm not sure the articles did much good.

It also helps when people write SA pump articles for each of the stocks you own.

LoL only people who are interested in winning contest pick CSTI I guess. ;)

Costar Technologies, Inc. Announces Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2013


Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2013 vs December 31, 2012

Net income increased by 222%, to $1,907, from $592, the third consecutive profitable year.
Revenue increased 35%, to $26,476, from $19,581.
Earnings per share were $1.31 (shown in whole amounts) compared to $0.41 per share.
The Company increased its cash position to $1,637 from $114, and owed $0 on its line of credit.
Financial Results, Fourth Quarter of 2013 as Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2012

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $4,331, as compared to revenue of $4,220 for the fourth quarter of the prior year, an increase of approximately 3%. The increase was primarily due to the continuation in remodel activity and new store openings by several of the Company's customers.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $923. This compares to gross profit of $1,215 for the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of 24%. The Company experienced a one-time write-down of cost of goods sold of $551 related to the prepayment of inventory. The supplier in question is experiencing serious financial difficulty and there is substantial doubt regarding the receipt of the ordered product or the return of the prepaid funds. The Company is exploring its options with respect to this vendor and has qualified a new vendor to provide a substitute product.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $1,163. This compares to selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,285 for the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of 9%. The decrease of $122 was primarily due to a reduction of incentive based compensation and a decline in bank fees.

Net (loss) income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was approximately $(177), or $(0.12) earnings per share. This compares to net (loss) for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $(59), or $(0.04) earnings per share.

Financial Results, Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $26,476, an increase of 35% as compared to revenue of $19,581 for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to a surge in remodel activity and new store openings by several of the Company's customers.

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $7,467. This compares to gross profit of $5,673 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The rise is due to a more favorable overall sales and product mix, including increased interest in the Company's higher margin network product line.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $5,598. This compares to selling, general and administrative expenses of $4,987 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 12%. The increase of $611 was primarily due to the hiring of four sales and support employees in the latter half of 2012 to stimulate future growth, along with increased commissions and other incentive compensation related to the Company's improved performance.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $1,907, or $1.31 earnings per share, as compared to net income of $592, or $0.41 earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2012.

James Pritchett, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "The Company's performance in 2013 generated record profits, positively positioning the Company for future opportunities. One of our largest retail customers significantly increased their remodel program in 2013, making up for a limited number of remodels in the prior two years due to a weak economy. We are pursuing additional revenue opportunities in 2014 to offset the temporary increase in sales caused by this "catch up" period, which we estimate increased 2013 revenue by approximately $3,000 to $4,000. We are encouraged by our results and are dedicated to delivering on our commitment of strong earnings and averaged double digit sales growth over a multiyear span."

Huck, you are right. I have no position in this, but I have always thought that companies that file to go dark are telling shareholders to FO. I had seen this several times on my stock screener to look at, but, I just can't get past the fact that they went dark. Good luck here, I do hope it works out well for everyone.

They might be saving money but it looks pretty bush league.

Cuz I bought some last week at $10.50.

oops wrong report

Anybody know why the recent drop in CSTI?

I think most of these tiny companies don't get their quarterlies audited. Probably just a way to save money.

Anyone have any insight into the 16% drop over past month? I don't seen any news corresponding to it.

Agreed, I'm holding both - though I don't see much in a merger either. Different target markets really.

ARGL is definitely interesting. Coming out of the dark, people still not paying attention - but I think it's definitely undervalued at PE under 2.

I took a closer look at ARGL and I don't see alot of cross compatibility with CSTI that would make sense for a merger. They are very different companies. ARGL does look interesting though.

Thanks

Why the unaudited financials- pie in the sky balance sheet or the company simply can't afford an audit???

Perhaps but I don't think so.

A CSTI/ARGL merger seems like it could be mutually beneficial.

I think CSTI could potentially be a good candidate for a buyout.

First, the CEO grew another similar company, Ultrack and then sold it to Honeywell. .

Second, The CEO is getting close to retirement. According to the company, they have a CEO Succession plan in place but they will not discuss the details.

Third, from what I can tell, their product line up, business model and their lean operating structure would make an attractive proposition for an acquisition.

I could be completely wrong, and the company looks like it will be successful if they continue to do what they have been doing, but I have seen a number of similar companies get gobbled up..

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Frank.

I think for a well managed company like CSTI which is growing very fast and a low PE it is difficult to lose money. It should do really well. Same with PFHO.

The only question mark over CSI I have is that this year has had blowout earnings because their two largest customers loaded up on cameras and may not do so next year. I have no real insight into this either way however.

CSTI to $50+ IMO

But I may sell some or all at any time. Too Fin bad.

Frank-what are your thoughts about CSTI at this point as you have asked some excellent questions about it (and PFHO)along the way?

Last year's 10K was reported on 23APR.

Do you figure earnings date similar to PFHO at the end of March/beginning of April?

That's a good point you make with the TASR example, Steveadl, and one that is well taken.
