Signs Multi-Year Agreement with Large Customer for AI Rack Integration

Moving and Expanding Factory to Address Accelerating Demand for AI-Enabled Technologies

Uplists to The Nasdaq Capital Market

TSS, Inc. (Nasdaq:TSSI), a data center services company that integrates AI and other high-performance computing infrastructure and software and provides related data center services, today reported results for its third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

"We are pleased to report a dramatic increase in earnings in the third quarter, both sequentially and year-over-year," said Darryll Dewan, CEO of TSS. "This is the first quarter that includes a full period of revenue for AI-enabled server rack integrations at meaningful volumes. Even more encouraging is the recent signing of an agreement with one of our largest customers to build similar volumes of AI-enabled racks for the next several years. To address both the anticipated volume and the ever-increasing power demands expected from the next several generations of AI racks, we plan to relocate from our current integration facility to a new, larger facility in the area in early 2025."

Dewan continued, "As we expand our physical footprint with a new state-of-the-art facility, we have also elevated our market presence by transitioning from the OTC Markets to the Nasdaq Capital Market today. This dual relocation strategy - both operational and financial - positions TSS to better serve our growing customer base while providing our shareholders with enhanced visibility and liquidity on a premier technology-focused exchange."

Dewan added, "Further accelerating our earnings growth, we delivered a significant increase in procurement revenues in the third quarter, up over 1,000% compared to the third quarter of last year. In the third quarter, procurement revenues alone exceeded the entire company's total revenues for all of 2023. This business carries modest margins and provides a nice contribution to the quarter's operating margin, given minimal overhead costs."

    • Facility management revenues of $2.0 million, up 8%

    • Procurement revenues of $60.5 million, up 1,016%

  • Gross profit of $7.9 million, up 179%, driven by growth in higher margin services and significant growth in Procurement revenues

  • Diluted EPS of $0.10, up compared to $0.01

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million, up 358%

    • Systems integration revenues of $14.7 million, up 121%

    • Facility management revenues of $6.4 million, up 14%

  • Diluted EPS of $0.16, up compared to ($0.01)

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $6.7 million, up 291%

Dewan continued, "Our performance in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024 is a direct result of superior operating execution. Year-to-date, we have delivered $98 million in total revenues, more than three times the amount compared to the same period last year, and effectively leveraged our expense structure to grow the bottom line at an even faster pace. The recent signing of a multi-year agreement with one of our largest customers to integrate AI-enabled racks fundamentally changes the earnings potential of the company. Importantly, this agreement increases our visibility into future opportunities and delivery requirements in this rapidly evolving space and provides a strong foundation from which we can continue to grow profitably."

Dewan concluded, "We are bullish on the outlook for our business with revenue and profit trajectories that are promising over the long-term. Keeping in mind the timing of orders and the mix of services we provide can fluctuate quarter-to-quarter, the multi-year agreement we secured with one of our largest customers will reduce variability and provide greater certainty in our earnings stream. Based on our current visibility, we expect results through the first half of 2025 to be similar to our second and third quarters of 2024."

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure not defined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on goodwill and other intangibles, stock-based compensation, provision for bad debts and certain extraordinary items. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe this supplemental measure of operating performance is helpful in comparing our operating results across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on our results of operations in any particular period. We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of certain management personnel when determining incentive compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, while providing useful information, should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or cash flows as determined under GAAP. Consistent with Regulation G under the U.S. federal securities laws, Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, and this reconciliation is located under the heading "Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation" following the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in this press release.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release may contain "forward-looking statements" -- that is, statements related to future -- not past -- events, plans, and prospects. In this context, forward-looking statements may address matters such as our expected future business and financial performance, and often contain words such as "guidance," "prospects," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "should," or "will." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect the Company's future results include: we may not have sufficient resources to fund our business and may need to issue debt or equity to obtain additional funding; our reliance on a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers and our ability to diversify our customer base; risks relating to operating in a highly competitive industry; risks relating to supply chain challenges; risk related to changes in labor market conditions; risks related to the implementation of a new enterprise resource IT system; risks related to the development of our procurement services business; risks relating to rapid technological, structural, and competitive changes affecting the industries we serve; risks involved in properly managing complex projects; risks relating to the possible cancellation of customer contracts on short notice; risks relating to our ability to continue to implement our strategy, including having sufficient financial resources to carry out that strategy; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.
