TLLE Holds Shareholder Conference Call Covering 4th Quarter and Year End Financial Results and Operations

Teletouch Communications, Texas-based cellular services provider and growing consumer electronics distributor, recently held a shareholder conference call highlighting previously released financial results for the 4th fiscal quarter and fiscal year ending June 7, 2012, along with a number of operational issues. The call included Robert McMurrey (Chairman and CEO of Teletouch), Thomas “Kip” Hyde, Jr. (President & COO, and CEO of primary operating company PCI Hawk Electronics), Douglas Sloan (CFO), and Mike Dickens (Sr. VP of Operations).

The core of the presentation dealt with the company’s move back to profitability and growth, coming out of a particularly challenging year involving unpredictable events.

In spite of these unavoidable pressures, Teletech ended up generating reported net income of $6.3 million and $.08 fully diluted earnings per share for the year, the strongest earnings the company has seen in a decade. Fourth quarter net income was $161,000. The company also settled a two year long litigation with AT&T, and expects to close on new financing, all of which allows Teletouch to focus on their core strategy of growing their distribution operations. The company’s goal remains the transitioning of Teletouch into a market leader in the distribution business.

Shortly after the end of the fiscal year, Teletouch announced the signing of their first direct handset manufacturing distribution agreement with TCT Mobile, one of the largest consumer manufacturing companies in the world and the maker of the Alcatel OneTouch brand of cellular handsets, as well as a dozen other cellular equipment and accessory distribution agreements to support their wholesale business growth strategy.

During the call’s question and answer period, the anticipated effect of the TCT agreement on Teletouch revenues was discussed. The company believes that the new relationship should clearly generate several million dollars top line and then the related margins bottom line. It was pointed out that the initial order was just signed, and it takes about 45 days for product to be on the ground. Kip Hyde said of the agreement: “It’s our first handset deal. We’re pretty excited about it. We do have another handset deal that we will be announcing shortly…, and the combination of these will represent a real foundation to growth over the next 12 months.”

Another question arose regarding the recent Samsung-Apple software litigation, and whether there was any software on the incoming Alcatel handsets that might be negatively impacted by the jury decision in the case. The response was that Teletouch has not been given any indication by the manufacturer that they’re in violation of any of the patents that were in dispute in the Samsung-Apple litigation. To the extent that there is, the assumption is that they would modify their operating system accordingly, but that there is no indication that any ordered product would be impacted.

TLLE Reports Financial Results and Operational Highlights for Fiscal Year 2012

Teletouch Communications, a leading U.S. cellular services provider and consumer electronics distributor supporting over 60,000 wireless customers, earlier today reported its audited consolidated results on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

Financial highlights of the year include total operating revenues of $34.42 million; income from operations of $6.32 million; EBITDA of $7.48 million; net income of $4.17 million; basic earnings per share of $0.09; diluted earnings per share of $0.08; and reduction of total liabilities by $6.59 million. For the fourth quarter alone, the company reported total operating revenues of $8.30 million; income from operations of $0.65 million; EBITDA of $0.91 million; and net income of $0.16 million.

“As we look back and reflect on all of the events that transpired during fiscal 2012, what becomes readily apparent is the total mass of activity, both set-backs and accomplishments, that has set the stage for the Company’s future direction for the next several years,” stated T. A. “Kip” Hyde, Jr., President, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Teletouch. “From geometric growth in our two-way radio/PSE unit, to favorably settling the AT&T litigation, to a change of control in our stock holders, to our senior credit provider, Thermo Credit LLC, having its own difficulties and pulling our credit line, to a material sales tax assessment related to issues not identified in any State of Texas sales tax audits of the Company in any prior years, to satisfying the pent-up demand for the iPhone in our customer base, to completing our first direct handset manufacturer distribution agreement and a nearly a dozen other distribution agreements, we’ve been busy. To put it mildly, this past fiscal year has been a wild ride.”

Hyde continued, “Then add, since the end of the May 2012, the recent sale of that same two-way radio/PSE business, going through a road-show presentation process, with the subsequent term sheet negotiations and then signing, with due diligence now in process with a potential new lender, our high levels of activity continue, but are now all focused on furthering future growth for the Company. While we still have a few remaining challenges, returning Teletouch to operating profitability has been foremost among our goals, and we achieved that for the fourth quarter and year as a whole. All in all, it has been a great way to start fiscal 2013.”

On September 5, 2012, at 4:15 p.m. EDT (3:15 p.m. CDT), Teletouch will hold the company’s fiscal year 2012 earnings conference call. Investors interested in participating should call 866-901-2585 or 404-835-7099. Callers will be asked to provide their first and last names, with their company or financial institution name, as applicable. Participants are advised to dial in approximately 10-15 minutes before the conference is scheduled to begin.

Teletouch Reports Second Quarter 2012 Fiscal Year Results
Settlement of AT&T Litigation Completed

TLLE.OB 0.55 +0.00


FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Teletouch Communications, Inc. (OTCBB: TLLE.OB - News), a leading U.S. wireless services, cellular, consumer electronics and public safety equipment provider, reported its consolidated results on Form 10-Q and announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2011.

EBITDA of $8.8 million
Net income of $7.8 million

Adjusted net loss of $0.6 million
Year-to-Date Highlights – Financial (as Reported)

Total operating revenues of $18.4 million
Income from operations of $8.2 million
EBITDA of $8.9 million
Net income of $7.0 million
Basic Earnings Per Share of $0.14
Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.14
2nd Quarter Highlights – Business

Entered AT&T Settlement & Release Agreement
Settlement of all claims
$10 million cash and other compensation:
$5 million cash (received December 1, 2011)
$5 million forgiveness of outstanding accounts payable
Maximum additional $8.5 million cash for subscriber transfer fees over next 3 years
3-Yr renewal of Distribution Agreement – all prior markets
6-Yr Dealer Agreement – all prior markets
Combined Distribution and Dealer Agreements valued by Company at $25-30 million
Ability to sell Apple iPhone & iPad devices
Two-Way Radio/Public Safety Equipment segment revenues increased to just over $4.6 million year-to-date through 2nd quarter, an approximately $2.4 million or 103% increase over the same period last year;
Additional orders of approximately $2.1 million received by Public Safety Equipment division through the date of this announcement, with expected shipment in the 3rd and 4th fiscal quarters;
Wholesale distribution segment sales increased to ~$4.8 million year-to-date through November 30, 2011, an approximately $1.0 million or 24% increase over the same period last year.
“Concluding the AT&T litigation at the end of our fiscal 2nd quarter, with a favorable outcome for the Company, paves the way for us to begin growing our core cellular business again. Obviously, entering into this comprehensive settlement with AT&T was a significant event and represents a critical turning point for Teletouch. In addition to the total expected $18.5 million cash and in-kind consideration to be received as part of this settlement, we estimate that the renewed three year Distribution Agreement and related six year Dealer Agreement will generate an additional $25-30 million incremental contribution margin to the Company over the next 3 - 6 year period, based on our historical results. Thus, with a total estimated settlement value of approximately $45-$50 million, combined with our ability to now sell the iPhone and iPad, our cellular business should stabilize and start growing again,” stated T. A. "Kip" Hyde, Jr., President, Chief Operating Officer and Director of Teletouch.

Hyde added, “Our iPhone and iPad accessories business also continues to grow, and we recently renewed and extended our exclusive distribution agreement with AFC Trident Case, a fast-growing manufacturer of protective cases for various brands of cellular handsets. In addition, we continue to work with major handset manufacturers to enter into direct distribution agreements, primarily to support the demand for cellular handsets and accessories in our wholesale distribution business. Ending the litigation with AT&T has already proven helpful to achieving this goal, and we are hopeful that we will announce our first new direct handset manufacturer relationship in the near future.”

Hyde concluded, “Also as predicted, our efforts to expand Two-Way Radio/Public Safety Equipment division sales have borne fruit, with over 100% growth rates year-to-date, and a strong closed-orders pipeline for the remainder of the fiscal year. In sum, while we will have challenges ramping up sales and subscriber growth in our core cellular business, including increased sales and marketing activities and related expenses, we will continue to aggressively manage our remaining discretionary costs through the second half of fiscal 2012, while maintaining solid growth in each of our defined business units. Lastly, on the acquisition front, we continue to see good quality candidates, and are working towards completion of our first acquisition in the coming calendar year.”

[Ole Broke Azz]

ok wake up

[Damnsammit]

Thanks for the info.

I might buy some and hold and see what happens in the next year or two.

[Ole Broke Azz]

definitely better off somewhere else if you need it working for you and do not have an aversion to high risk plays.

For my this is a "mad money" play. I bought a bunch in the .70's and .80's and then I bought a bunch at the .50's. I don't think the stock is going to get up and run like a scalded dog but I do think that in 6 months I will be up at least 40% and the downside in my opinion is minimal

BTW: "Mad Money" to me is money that would otherwise be sitting idle.

[Damnsammit]

What's with the low volume?

Seems like the news from the AT&T settlement was good and should get some people to take notice.

Thinking about starting a position here, but the incredibly low volume makes me think that my money is better off elsewhere.

[Ole Broke Azz]

If you know how to read financials you might want to take a quick look at them so you will have a better understanding of what you own here.

this is not a momo play, but if you sign up for some of those pump and dump emailers you might be able to chase some of those plays
