Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTG) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. The results will be discussed in a conference call to be held on July 26, 2013 at 10:00 AM Eastern time. The dial-in telephone number is (866) 793-1341 and the pass code is "WSTG." This conference call will be webcast by NASDAQ OMX and can be accessed at Wayside Technology's Web site at www.waysidetechnology.com/earnings-call.

"I am pleased to report solid financial results. Overall, revenue increased 7% and net income increased 18% over the same period last year. In addition, our Q2 year-over-year growth on all key metrics -- including revenue, gross margin, income from operations and net income -- showed improvement compared to Q1's year-over-year growth," said Simon F. Nynens, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $12.0 million, representing 37% of equity as of June 30, 2013. Working capital amounted to $22.7 million, representing 70% of equity as of June 30, 2013.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 increased 7% or $4.9 million to $74.1 million, compared to $69.2 million for the same period in 2012. Net sales for the second quarter of 2013 for our Lifeboat segment were $61.2 million, compared to $53.5 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of $7.7 million or 14%. Net sales for our TechXtend segment for the second quarter of 2013 were $12.9 million, compared to $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing a decrease of $2.7 million or 18%.

The 14% increase in net sales for the Lifeboat Distribution segment was mainly a result of our increased account penetration, our continued focus on the expanding virtual infrastructure-centric business and the addition of several key product lines. The 18% decrease in net sales in the TechXtend segment was primarily due to a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions as compared to exceptionally strong levels of extended payment terms sales in the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Gross Profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased 7% or $0.4 million to $6.0 million, compared to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2012. Total gross profit for our Lifeboat segment was $4.5 million, compared to $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing a 17% increase. The increase in gross profit for the Lifeboat segment was due to higher sales volume in the current year. Total gross profit for our TechXtend segment was $1.5 million, compared to $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2012, representing a 17% decrease. The decrease in gross profit in the TechXtend segment was the result of the decreased sales volume, including a decrease in extended payment terms sales transactions. Gross profit margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the second quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 8.1% for each period.

Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $3.8 million, compared to $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2012, representing an increase of $0.2 million or 7%. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in commissions and bonus for our Lifeboat segment (which are based on gross profit) and an increase in salary expense (from increased headcount in sales, finance and operations to support business growth) in 2013 compared to 2012, offset in part by a decrease in commissions and bonus for our TechXtend segment (which are based on gross profit). As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses for second quarter of 2013 and 2012 remained consistent at 5.1% for each period.

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 were $1.5 million and $0.34, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $0.28 in the prior year.

On July 24, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.16 per share of its common stock, payable August 16, 2013 to shareholders of record on August 6, 2013.
