Commenting on the results, Mark Meller, Chairman and CEO of SilverSun, stated, “The financial results reflect the sale of our Mapadoc EDI division on August 26, 2019 for $11,500,000, which resulted in a gain of $10,144,287 to the Company. The transaction was a historic one for the Company, and gives us the financial wherewithal to further contemplate some significant transactions. We have engaged an investment bank to assist us in evaluating potential strategies and corporate finance activities to further enhance our business and to maximize shareholder value. The actions under consideration, which are illustrative and not exhaustive, include a stock buyback, a special dividend, acquisitions and/or mergers. The Company has already announced this past October a $2 million stock buyback program, and we will continue to pursue all other avenues which could increase shareholder value.
“We are focused on increasing our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”), and on increasing recurring revenue as a percentage of total revenue. Our acquisition criteria are built around this focus, and include business segments such as managed IT services, application hosting, software resellers, and independent software vendors in such areas as human capital management, regulatory technology, internet of things, cybersecurity, and logistics, among others.
“Operationally, the third quarter was solid although uneven for the Company. Total revenue was up 0.4% year over year, despite having a contribution from Mapadoc for only 57 days in the quarter, versus the full 90 days in 2018. Software sales were robust, increasing 28.2% year over year, while service revenue was down 4.3% year over year. We attribute the decrease in service revenue to delays in consulting projects.”
Meller concluded, “We are well positioned to continue to aggressively grow our business, and we look forward to continuing to deliver positive news and results in the coming months.”
