GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the company’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

CSP, Inc. was incorporated in 1968. The Company and its subsidiaries develop and market IT integration solutions and high-performance cluster computer systems. It operates in two segments, the Systems segment and the Service and System Integration segment. The Systems segment consists primarily of CSPI's MultiComputer Division (the MultiComputer Division) which designs and manufactures commercial high-performance computer signal processing systems for a variety of complex real time applications in defense and commercial markets. MultiComputer Division products are based on an architectural solution that is open, standards-based, vendor independent, easily integrated with third-party products and compatible with future product offerings. The MultiComputer Division's products are known as multicomputers or cluster computers, which use multiple microprocessors linked together with a high performance network to achieve very high performance processing capabilities. The Company's MultiComputer systems utilize 'blades' (self-contained, high-density computer boards) to achieve a high level of compute processing per-cubic-foot-per-watt. In addition, the Company's MultiComputer products are designed to operate in environments that require low power, or have limited cooling and/or space available. The Service and System Integration Segment consist of the computer maintenance and integration services and third-party computer hardware and software value added reseller businesses of its Modcomp subsidiary ('Modcomp'). Modcomp is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which operates in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. Modcomp provides solutions and services for complex IT environments including storage and servers, unified communications solutions, IT security solutions and consulting services. Modcomp also provides managed IT services through its state of the art network operations center. Modcomp markets and sells its products through its own direct sales force. All MultiComputer systems are shipped to its customers directly from the plant in Billerica, Massachusetts. Its manufacturing activities consist mainly of final assembly and testing of printed circuit boards and systems that are designed by the Copany and fabricated by outside vendors. The primary competition in the Service and System Integration segment are other VARs, ranging from small companies that number in the thousands, to large enterprises such as CDW, PC Connection, Insight, MoreDirect, Dimension Data, Bechtle AG, Presidio and Computacenter. In addition, the Company competes directly with many of the companies who manufacture the third-party products that it sells including Cisco Systems, IBM, HP EMC, Hitachi and others.
