Support.com Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
 
Sunnyvale, CA – November 8, 2019 – Support.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPRT), a full-spectrum leader in outsourced call center and direct-to-consumer technical support solutions, today reported unaudited GAAP financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2019.
 
Q3 2019 Financial Summary
 
For the third quarter of 2019, total revenue was $15.2 million, a decrease of 15 percent compared to revenues of $18.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 and down 9 percent compared to revenues of $16.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease in revenue from the second quarter primarily reflects lower billable hours with our major customers but was somewhat offset by new subscriber growth. The reduction in billable hours substantially reduced the cost of recruiting, hiring, training, and attrition of employees. Once the billable hours stabilize, the company will once again incur these expenses.
 
We recorded net income for the third quarter of 2019 of $1.6 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of ($9.1) million, or ($0.49) per share, in the third quarter of 2018 and net income of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share, in the second quarter of 2019.
 
Key changes in our net income/(loss) included the following:
 
Gross profit increased by $1.1 million in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2018 and increased by $0.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2019.
Our gross profit margin increased by 11 percent compared with the same quarter of 2018 and increased by 7 percent relative to the second quarter of 2019.
Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2019 were $3.3 million, as compared with $12.9 million of operating expenses in the third quarter of 2018 and $3.4 million of operating expenses in the second quarter of 2019.
Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2018 included a $10.0 million one-time legal settlement for FTC litigation.
 
Balance Sheet Information
 
On September 30, 2019, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $44.8 million as compared with $43.2 million on June 30, 2019, and $49.6 million on December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash from December 31, 2018, reflects the $10 million payment to the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) on April 1, 2019, as a part of the previously disclosed settlement negotiations. This decrease in cash was offset by earnings and a reduction in working capital.
 
Total assets as of September 30, 2019, were $57.2 million and total shareholders’ equity was $52.0 million.
