Feature:
Superclick raises revenue guidance. Big time.
SmallCaps
are all about growth. Hopefully exponential growth. Today's release (below)
from Internet access concern Superclick (OTCBB:
SPCK) puts it firmly in that superior growth camp.
How
'bout these apples:
The company today announced that 3rd
quarter 2004 revenue alone (as at July 31) should exceed $800,000--more
than all of fiscal 2003's $630,000.
Q3's revenue should exceed Q1 and Q2
revenues combined.
Q3 expected to be up 140 percent, sequentially,
over Q2 2004.
For fiscal 2004, Superclick has,
today, raised its previously announced (June) annual revenue guidance for
fiscal 2004 from $1.75-$2 million to $2.25-$2.5 million.
The company intends to report improved
and improving gross margins
Superclick has no debt
Sufficient operating cash and no financing
plans.
Client validation of Superclick's products
and solutions as 'Best in Class".
The
shares have recovered slightly from their recent decline to the mid 60-cent
level to trade, currently, in the low 70-cent range. Trading volumes have
increased nicely as the company obviously shows up on more investor radar
screens.
Considering the carnage in the market
overall, this represents decent performance, especially for a SmallCap
still in its formative stage. Over the next 6-12 months, investors
will want to have accumulated Superclick at current levels. It
definitely appears that this company has the right stuff.
Looking for a few good companies.
No matter the size, most companies
in this environment are merely trying to protect revenues and market share.
From revenues of around $630,000 in 2003, Superclick plans to virtually
quadruple that number for fiscal 2004. We believe that this outstanding
growth will continue into 2005 and beyond.
Go ahead, don't believe me.
Independent Research firm In-Stat/MDR states:
In-Stat estimates hotels generated
$153 million in revenue from guest room access last year. That number will
triple this year, while hotels also boost income by charging for access
in meeting rooms and public spaces like the lobby and poolside. The number
of hotels offering broadband is about 5,200 today and will quintuple to
26,828 in the next three years,
And that's just in North America,
and only hotels. Superclick also has international penetration in the hospitality
industry as well as good footholds--both in house and through partnerships
with the likes of Verizon (NYSE:
VZ)-- in the institutional market (hospitals and universities)
as well as the multiple tenant units (MTU) sector.
Not
a one trick pony.
Further, Superclick's diversified
(and growing) arsenal of products and solutions, which already sports an
expanding client list that includes the leaders in the hotel industry,
also --unlike a goodly number of its competitors--cost-effectively addresses
the huge, yet woefully underserved more modest hotel market.
If the hospitality industry's insatiable
appetite for internet access is to grow 5-fold-plus in the next three years,
Superclick will undoubtedly snag a good chunk of that business as well
as market share in the other sectors noted.
We also expect more corporate developments
to extend and expand Superclick's influence. From virtually nothing a year
ago to today's revenue guidance, the company deserves both respect for
it's accomplishments and, we believe, continued accumulation by risk-oriented
investors.
Press Release
SUPERCLICK REVISES ANNUAL GUIDANCE
UPWARD
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.,
Aug. 16, 2004 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Superclick, Inc. (OTCBB:SPCK)
today provided a revised outlook of our previous revenue forecast for the
current fiscal year. "In June we reported expectations of revenue for fiscal
2004 to come in the range of $1.75 million to $2.0 million, which would
represent substantial growth over the $630 thousand that our operating
subsidiary Superclick Networks had achieved last year. However, due to
increasing market adoption amongst leading hotel brands of our SIMS? platform
and their validation of our product as truly "best in class", we are exceeding
our previous expectations and are now revising guidance for the current
year upward to a range of $2.25 to 2.5 million," commented the company's
Chairman, Todd M. Pitcher.
The Superclick system,
with its 24x7 end-user helpdesk, supports all types of Internet traffic
including wired and wireless High Speed Internet Access (HSIA), dial-up
modem Low Speed Internet Access (LSIA), and LAN Internet traffic. Superclick's
unique features help drive efficient Internet access by capturing all types
of Internet traffic. This lowers the initial cost of integrated access
systems and also optimizes operating expenses and end-user productivity.
Pitcher added that "In
addition, we expect to report top-line revenues in excess of $800,000 for
the third quarter, ended July 31, and top-line revenue growth on a quarter-over-quarter
basis of more than 140% with improved gross margins. Hoteliers are recognizing
our commitment to providing them with reliable Internet access and management
solutions, world-class customer support and our value proposition aimed
at helping them drive additional revenue through leveraging their Internet
service infrastructure."
