$4.7 million, net of $0.2 million of pass-through charges, for the year
ended December 31, 2002. Prior to becoming a related party, service fees earned
by PFSweb from BSD (the Daisytek subsidiary and predecessor to Supplies
Distributors), associated with the same business activities, were $6.0 million,
net of $0.5 million of pass-through charges, for the year ended December 31,
2001. For the year ended December 31, 2001, our revenue was negatively impacted
by lower than anticipated IBM related activity due to the transition to
Supplies Distributors from Daisytek but was benefited by approximately $0.8
million of service fee adjustments resulting from the finalization of the
Daisytek contract.
Other Revenue. Other revenue of $0.5 million for the year ended December
31, 2001 represents the fees charged to clients in conjunction with early
contract terminations.
Cost of Product Revenue. Cost of product revenue was $54.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002, which reflects cost of product sales for
Supplies Distributors subsequent to its consolidation effective October 1,
2002. Cost of product revenue as a percent of product revenue was 94.5% during
the year ended December 31, 2002 and zero during the year ended December 31,
2001. The resulting gross profit margin was 5.5% for the year ended December
31, 2002. Supplies Distributors had $154.3 million of cost of product revenue,
prior to consolidation, or a total of $208.6 million of cost of product revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Cost of Net Service Fee Revenue. Cost of net service fee revenue was
$22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $25.8
million during the year ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $3.1 million or
12.3%. The resulting service fee gross profit was $13.2 million or 36.7% of net
service fee revenue, during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to
$13.4 million, or 34.1% of net service fee revenue for the year ended December
31, 2001. Our gross profit as a percent of net service fee revenue increased in
the year ended December 31, 2002, because the gross profit percentage earned on
certain contracts terminated in calendar year 2001 was lower than the contracts
operating in calendar year 2002. This was partially offset by $0.4 million of
costs in excess of start up fees incurred for a new client implementation
during the year ended December 31, 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
our gross profit margin was negatively impacted by lower than anticipated IBM
related activity due to the transition to Supplies Distributors from Daisytek
but was benefited by approximately $0.8 million of service fee adjustments
resulting from the finalization of the Daisytek contract for which the related
service activities were performed in earlier periods.
Cost of Other Net Revenue. Cost of other revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2001 of ($0.6) million primarily reflects the benefit associated
with the reversal of accruals made in the previous years for estimated client
termination costs that were determined to be in excess of actual costs
incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $27.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 28.9% of total net revenues,
as compared to $23.3 million, or 58.6% of total revenues, for the year ended
December 31, 2001. SG&A expenses increased over the prior year due to
approximately $2.8 million of technology infrastructure costs that were
incurred in both periods but that were recorded as a component of cost of
service fee revenue in the prior year. These technology costs were principally
dedicated to the activities that generated service fee revenue under the
transaction management services contract with Daisytek, which was terminated in
November 2001. In addition, SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001,
were benefited by the favorable resolution of certain accounts and VAT
receivables. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from
the prior year due to the increase in total net revenues, resulting from the
inclusion of product sales subsequent to the consolidation of Holdings
effective October 1, 2002.
Severance and Other Terminations Costs. For the year ended December 31,
2002, we recorded $1.2 million of severance and other termination charges
associated with a restructuring plan to reduce costs.
Asset and Lease Impairments. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we
recorded $0.9 million of expense for asset impairment and abandonment charges.
This charge relates to an older warehouse management system that was upgraded
to a new system during the year, as well as the disposition of certain other
assets no longer used in the business.
Equity in Earnings of Affiliate. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we
recorded $1.2 million of equity in earnings of affiliate that represents our
allocation of Holdings earnings prior to October 1, 2002.
