Park City Group Adds First “Mega Hub” Customer for Supply Chain Expertise

Enables PCYG to Substantially Broaden its Ability to Assist Retailers and More Suppliers to Achieve Improved Sales and Margins


PARK CITY, UT – August 17, 2010 –
Park City Group (OTCBB: PCYG), a Software-as-a-Service provider of unique supply chain solutions for retailers and their suppliers, today announced that it has been selected by one of the nation’s largest supermarket chains for its Consumer Driven Sales OptimizationTM (“CDSO”) platform. This selection is the first “Mega Hub” installation for Park City Group, which effectively extends the supply chain reach for retail stores beyond primary categories to include products for all major categories.

“Following our selection by a major supermarket chain for our supply chain solution, we are pleased to have extended our partnership for using our technology on a Mega Hub basis,” said Randall K. Fields, Chairman & CEO of Park City Group. “This dual installation represents our first foray in extending beyond the basic supermarket product categories delivered directly to retail stores and enables us to bring even more visibility and data flow control to both the retailer and its numerous consumer goods suppliers.”

The supermarket chain is partnering with Park City Group to implement a demand driven supply chain with its vendor community by leveraging the scan/point-of-sale as the central point to deliver improved forecast accuracy and responsive replenishments based on consumer pull. This effort will be supported by a business process called Consumer Driven Sales Optimization and will foundationally begin with a collaborative effort between the retailer and its suppliers in terms of data synchronization and scan based trading as the facility to provide the necessary visibility, demand signals, and analytics to drive improved performance at the shelf for virtually all products being delivered from thousands of consumer goods companies supplying the supermarket chain.

Park City Group Reports Fiscal Third Quarter Results

Recurring Revenue Model Drives Year-To-Date Sales, EBITDA* and Positive Net Income

PARK CITY, UT – May 10, 2010 – Park City Group, Inc. (OTCBB: PCYG), a developer of patented retail supply chain solutions and services, today announced its financial results for the fiscal third quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2010.

Highlights:

  • Revenue of $3.0 million in F3Q10, up by 20% from prior year period
  • Sixth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA*
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $734,000 in F3Q10 increased by over 250% from adjusted pro-forma EBITDA in F3Q09
  • F3Q10 net income before dividends of $123,209 as compared to a net loss of $(1,835,836) for the same period in F3Q09
  • Positive operating cash flow of $251,457 in the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010, compared with negative operating cash flow of ($797,969) for same period in 2009
  • Reaffirms fiscal year goal for adjusted EBITDA
  • On track for increased positive cash flow from operations and positive earnings per share

Commenting on the financial results, Randall K. Fields, Park City Group’s Chairman and CEO, said, “We are pleased to report another strong performance in our third quarter of fiscal 2010. During the third quarter, we achieved this year’s highest level of quarterly revenues, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA. In the year-to-date period, we have achieved record levels for sales and EBITDA. Given the strength of our recurring and growing revenue base, our proven ability to effectively manage our expenses, and our leverageable business model, we are confident in our prospects for continued growth.”

Mr. Fields continued, “Our unique retail supply chain solution continues to gain market awareness. As a result, our business development pipeline remains robust, and we’re therefore confident that we will meet or exceed our fiscal 2010 goal of adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.3 million, positive cash flow from operations and positive earnings per share for the full fiscal year.”

Fiscal 2010 Third Quarter Results
Park City Group reported total revenue of $3.0 million for the third quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared with $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase in revenue is the result of a large non-recurring license sale that occurred in the quarter and organic growth from subscription revenues from an expanding base of retail hub customers resulting from the acquisition of Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc. that occurred in January of 2009.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2010 when compared with the same period in 2009, subscription revenue increased by 11% to $1.5 million from $1.4 million, maintenance revenue decreased to $0.6 million from $0.7 million, professional services revenues grew by 17% to over $0.3 million from over $0.2 million, and license fees increased by over 200% to $0.5 million from $0.2 million. The Company’s core revenues are derived largely from recurring sources and reflects the Company’s transition to a Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform in 2008 and the completion of its acquisition with Prescient Applied Intelligence, Inc. (“Prescient”) in January 2009. The combined Company’s subscription, maintenance, and certain professional services contracts provides for recurring revenue of approximately 78% of total annual revenue. This differs significantly from the Company’s historical license-based model approach although the Company will, from time to time, sell its solutions on a license basis.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is calculated as net income before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes items such as impairment charges, allowance for doubtful accounts, charges to consolidate and integrate recently acquired businesses, costs of closing corporate facilities, non-cash stock based compensation and other non-cash charges. Adjusted pro-forma EBITDA excludes certain items and considers non-GAAP results as if Park City Group, Inc. and Prescient were combined as of July 1, 2008. Although EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted pro-forma EBITDA are not measures of actual cash flow because they do not consider changes in assets and liabilities that may impact cash balances, the Company’s management reviews these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage the operations. Additionally, the Company believes they are useful metrics to evaluate operating performance and has therefore included such measures in the reporting of operating results.

PARK CITY, UT – February 25, 2010 – Park City Group (OTCBB: PCYG), a developer of patented retail supply chain solutions and services, today announced that Lunds and Byerly’s, supermarket chains owned and operated by Lund Food Holdings, Inc., have selected Park City Group’s Consumer Driven Sales OptimizationTM (“CDSO”) platform in support of their Scan Based Trading (“SBT”) initiative. With over 20 supermarkets in Minnesota, Lunds and Byerly’s becomes the 16th retailer to implement Park City Group’s CDSO solution.

“Park City Group’s strong client relationships and domain expertise were critical in the selection of a vendor to support our initiatives to increase sales, better manage expenses and reduce shrinkage,” stated Phil Lombardo, vice president of sales and marketing for Lund Food Holdings, Inc. “Scan Based Trading is an important strategy for our supermarkets to enhance operations, improve the business we conduct with our suppliers, and grow our cash flow and profitability.”

Park City Group’s SBT platform is a means to align retailer operations with the interests of their supplier communities. SBT provides trading partners with a distinct competitive advantage through scan sales visibility that sets the supply chain in motion and is a proven procurement strategy that guarantees sales results and minimizes or eliminates inventory. The unique solution from Park City Group enables retailers to direct their operational focus where it belongs: having stocked shelves in the stores and increasing overall sales. By employing Park City Group’s collaborative SBT solution, retailers will also have shared visibility with suppliers of store/item level shrink, perpetual inventory and accurate daily point-of-sale data.

“The effectiveness of Scan Based Trading is permeating the industry,” said Randall K. Fields, Chairman & CEO of Park City Group. “Both suppliers and retailers are encouraging its adoption, and Park City Group is positioned to benefit as we are the only company in the world to provide Scan Based Trading. While we are experiencing considerable interest in our retail supply chain Software-as-a-Service offerings, Lunds and Byerly’s was a referral from a consumer products supplier to the supermarket chain.
