Digital Transition, Growth Initiatives Drive Revenue

Danka's fourth-quarter revenue was $343.5 million, 3.5% lower than the year-ago period but a 3.7% increase from the third quarter. Adjusting for currency exchange, revenue was 10.9% lower than in the year-ago period. Within that total, retail service revenue was $160.8 million, 6.0% lower than the year-ago period but 2.8% and 3.5% higher than the third and second quarters, respectively. Revenue from retail equipment and related sales, which include software and professional services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. , was $125.3 million, a slight decline from the year-ago quarter, but 9.3% higher than the third quarter.

The sequential One after the other in some consecutive order such as by name or number.  revenue improvements were driven in part by the continued digital transformation of the company's business, including an increase in the digital portion of the worldwide equipment base to 55%. "I am pleased that, as expected, the increased digital base has eased downward pressure on service revenue which has been a major driver of our year on year revenue declines," said Todd Todd , Sir Alexander Robertus 1907-1997.

"This success, combined with the positive impact from our growth initiatives, enabled us to increase total revenue sequentially and achieve our largest revenue quarter of the year. At the same time, we generated operating and free cash flows of approximately $18 million and funded the implementation of expense reductions in pursuit of our previously announced target of $50 million-plus in annualized cost savings."

Full-Year Results Summary and CFO See Chief Financial Officer.  Comments

For fiscal 2004 year, Danka reported:

-- Revenue of $1.3 billion, 4.9% less than the prior year. Much

of the decline is attributable to the impact on retail service

revenues by the previously discussed digital transition.

increase in the company's cash balance from $81.5 million to

$112.8 million during the course of the year.

end was $131.2 million, a 13.3% decrease from the end of the

prior fiscal year.

-- SG&A of $465.2 million, a 4.1% decline from the prior year.

-- Capital expenditures of $44.5 million, 8.4% lower than the

prior year.
