Profile
DecisionPoint builds enterprise wireless and mobile
computing solutions for customers’ needs. In a nutshell, they
bring their client Company's field
workers into the "office"
in real time, or you can think of it as bringing the office
into the field. Anyone that needs to work
on the road or wirelessly knows how difficult it is and relies
on technology to get them closer to their work, without
missing a beat. Crucial information and transactions
are transmitted in real time improving accuracy and efficiency
for the client. DecisionPoint provides a win-win solution
for their clients.
The enterprise mobile computing industry has standardized
several key technologies over the past five years and
DecisionPoint has been front and center in this evolutionary
process in adapting mobile units to customer’s needs.
DescisionPoint has been an established company in this
industry and when opportunity knocked in the Field Mobility
niche Decision Point was prepared to answer the call.
DecisionPoint’s strategy in their target market is to enable
the DecisionPoint customer to focus on their mission — THEIR
business, not the technology. This is accomplished by
providing mission-critical systems, seamless connectivity
through highly reliable voice and data networks and a suite of
advanced and/or custom applications that provide real-time
information to end users.
Success breeds success and with Tier One retail customers
including: Liz Claiborne, PETCO Animal Supplies, Nike,
Nordstrom and Grocery Outlet; DecisionPoint has a strong
foundation. Manufacturing companies include Dade Behring
(Division of Siemens), Sargent Manufacturing (Division of ASSA
Abloy), Timken Corp., Swiss Army Brands, Smith & Wesson and
pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Celgene.
A high barrier to entry enhances DecisionPoint’s position in
the industry as it rides the crest of the wave of the latest
MUST HAVE technology for modern enterprise with a national
footprint and established relationships.
DecisionPoint Systems, Inc. history itself is short. The
company was formed in 2006 from Creative Concepts Software ,
Inc, a 12-year old California company, and Sentinel Business
Solutions, a 30-year old Connecticut company. At the same
time, DecisionPoint has a long track record of success of
enabling the mobile enterprise because of the rich history of
each company in bar code and RFID technology, mobile solutions
and systems integration.
Even though the Company was formed in
2006, since then their revenues have been impressive, to say
the least. Despite an amazingly challenging year for most
Companies in most industries, the worldwide economic slowdown has only
felt like a light speed bump to DNPI. The Company announced
third quarter 2009 results only a few days ago and the results
were strong. Third quarter 2009 revenues were $11.5
million compared to $13.3 million for the same period last
year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenues
were $35.2 million compared to $41.8 million for the same
period last year.
Third quarter gross profit margins continued to improve
sequentially to 20.6% versus 20.4% in the prior quarter and
19.2% for the same period last year. Tight cost controls have
successfully decreased selling, general and administrative
costs to $1.9 million for the third quarter compared with $2.2
million for the prior year's period. As a result of these
improvements, third quarter operating profits increased 32.6%
to $429,000 from $324,000 in the same period last year.
Nine-month operating income increased 47% to $818,000, from
$555,000 for the same period last year. Nine-month gross
margins improved to 19.5% compared to 18.9% in the previous
year's period.
Third quarter net income was $165,000 or $0.01 per share,
compared with $26,000 for the same period last year.
Nine-month net loss improved to only $277,000 or (.02) per
share, compared with a net loss of $1.1 million for the same
period last year.
Despite revenues of around $50 Million a
year, the Company finds itself with a market cap of just over
$10 Million, which is a figure you almost never see, and
should highlight how undervalued this Company is based on
their fundamentals.
In September, DecisionPoint announced that the United States
Air Force had issued a supplemental order for $623,000 for
additional BITS (Barcode Inventory Tracking System) Kits
bringing the value of the ongoing program for tracking "Go To
War" equipment support units to $5.4 million.
In addition, the Company continued to close business for its
MobileArc Field Mobility suite of products and services.
Decision Point recently announced the completion of a $2.7
million mobile security solution rollout for the leading
provider of security solutions in the U.S. This is one of over
two dozen new field mobility contracts secured in the third
quarter, representing an aggregate value of over $5 million in
deployments scheduled over the next two to three quarters.
Announcements of this nature show the
rate at which DNPI is garnering business. The big corporate
and government contracts that the Company is landing is a
great guage as to the level or service that DNPI offers its
clients. Companies such as the Air Force and big Fortune 500
Company's typically receive multiple proposals and pick the
best one for their business. DNPI must have performed quite
well since most of these institutions have re-signed with the
Company and continue to be long term clients. DNPI was even
named Motorola's busines partner of the year in 2007!
Over the past five years, the enterprise mobile computing
industry has standardized several key technologies and
DecisionPoint’s established enterprise has evolved with these
technologies.The WindowsMobile operating system for mobile
computers, 802.11 a/b/g “Wi-Fi” wireless local area networks,
and reliable nationwide wireless carrier data networks such as
AT&T and T-Mobile (HSDPA technology), and Verizon and Sprint
(EVDO technology) has served as a strong foundation for
DecisionPoint’s growth.
The RFID market is
pegged at
$8 Billion and the Field Asset Management market
has grown
from $300 Million into $1.6 Billion
since last year. All of these growing
trends bode well for DNPI and could be the catalysts for
future growth. In fact, the Company plans to grow to $100
million in revenues and an $8 million operating income annual
run rate during 2010.
Like it or hate it, but competitive
businesses need to have their employees always connected,
whether they are sitting at a desk in the Corporate
headquarters, on the road, or even on days off. Companies such
as DecisionPoint make this a reality and have become the go-to
Company of many fortune 500 Company's and Governmental
agencies to implement specific communication solutions for
each individual Company's needs to make this communication
everywhere scenario a reality.
Nicholas Toms, Chief Executive Officer of DecisionPoint
commented during the Company's November
16th press release, "We are excited about our business
outlook, as the momentum we have experienced in the first nine
months of the year continues into the fourth quarter," noted
Toms. "Our pipeline of projects is approaching $100 million
and we have had a 22% increase in our unearned revenue since
last quarter. Our strategy is working and we look forward to
the rest of the year."
Also, as every investor knows,
management is very important and DNPI's CEO, Nicholas Toms was
the past Peak Technologies CEO. Peak Technologies grew their
revenues from $5 Million to $300 Million Dollars, completed 26
Acquisitions, and did an IPO at $8 and was acquired at $18
with a post IPO high of $27. Past performance of this
magnitude bodes well for the competency of management and is
another positive point that separates DNPI from other bulletin
board Companies.
Looking at the Company's technicals, the
Company's stock price has been in a downtrend since the end of
September, but seems to have stabilized over the last few
weeks. The Full Stochastics is showing an oversold reading
along with the Williams %R, signalling a possible trend
reversal. The MACD looks like it is nearing a bullish
crossover, which could also be a sign of trend reversal.
Lastly, and the indicator we are most interested in is the
recent strong separation between the +DI and -DI for the ADX
technical indicator. The +DI is at the strongest level
that its been since early September, at which time the stock
went up from roughly $0.35 to around the $1.00 mark in a
matter of two weeks. As everyone knows, stocks can go in both
directions, and currently there is significant support at
$0.35, as such, stop losses are encouraged just under that
level.
As we always mention, we encourage our
investors to do their own due diligence before potentially
investing in DNPI or any other penny stock listed on
AllPennyStocks.com, and we encourage investors to also contact
a financial advisor to provide further advise. That
being said, DNPI is positioning themselves strongly and are
reaping the rewards from their past corporate decisions.
Strong management experience, growing revenues, a low
market-cap, a burgeoning industry, coupled with a long
corporate history, a significant client base and positive
technical reading are all reasons why investors should take a
closer look at DecisionPoint Systems, Inc.
(OTCBB:DNPI).
Higher Margin
Customer Focus
Over the last several years, DecisionPoint has been
repositioning itself to focus more on providing higher margin,
customer-driven, mobile wireless and RFID solutions rather
than providing simply hardware and customized software as a
reseller. This is the key to increasing DecisionPoint’s
profitability and is also a major point of differentiation.
Small resellers and large catalog resellers simply do not want
to, or cannot, provide the types of services needed to make
these systems a success.
Referrals
From Major Companies
DecisionPoint’s major ecosystem partners, such as Motorola,
recognize this and have come to depend more and more on
DecisionPoint to deliver the business value that their
products enable.
By referring more end-user demand to DecisionPoint,
manufacturers can leverage DecisionPoint’s personnel and skill
to provide customers with enhanced personal service. With deep
expertise about specific customers’ operations, resellers are
very effective in promoting sales of key vendor’s products.
Today, a majority of Motorola’s sales of mobile computers are
through the sales channel in which DecisionPoint participates.
DecisionPoint benefits from other advantages by participating
in this sales channel. The industry leaders have established
program rewards, such as favorable pricing structure
incentives, for those top-tier VARs who invest in their
programs and technologies. Not only does this reward
DecisionPoint’s investments in personnel, it also creates a
high bar for entry by requiring that other potential
competitors must pass the same training and certification
requirements that DecisionPoint personnel have passed.
Growth
Strategy
DecisionPoint’s growth strategy is gaining traction as
indicated by the contracts listed below. A tangible increase
in the sales of high margin software and professional services
is a strong contributor to the Company’s growth model. The
business model includes:
- Grow organic sales by 15-20%/yr and add select
acquisitions
- Broaden customer base in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals,
warehousing/distribution and field mobility
- Grow to $100 million revenues and $8 million operating
income annual run rate during 2010
