EMERSON RADIO CORP. REPORTS FISCAL 2011 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
MOONACHIE, N.J. — February 14, 2011 — Emerson Radio Corp. (NYSE AMEX: MSN) today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2010.
Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, aided by a $1.0 million realized gain on the sale of a trading security, was $4.2 million versus $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.8 million, or 22.6%. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $0.15 as compared to $0.13 for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.02, or 15.4%. Net income from continuing operations for the nine month period of fiscal 2011 was $13.3 million versus $7.8 million for the nine month period of fiscal 2010, an increase of $5.5 million, or 70.4%. Diluted earnings per share for the nine month period of fiscal 2011 was $0.49 as compared to $.29 for the nine month period of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.20 per diluted share, or 69%.
Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $5.0 million as compared to operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 of $4.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 7.5%. The increase in third quarter fiscal 2011 operating income over the prior year was driven by lower SG&A expenses and other operating costs, partially offset by lower net revenues. Operating income for the nine month period of fiscal 2011 was $15.7 million, an increase of $6.3 million, or 66.8%, over operating income of $9.4 million for the

 


 

nine month period of fiscal 2010. The increase in operating income for the nine month period of fiscal 2011 versus the prior year period was due to lower SG&A expenses and other operating costs, as well higher net revenues.
Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased by $7.4 million, or 15.5%, to $40.6 million as compared to net revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 of $48.0. Our third quarter fiscal 2011 net sales of houseware products, driven by decreases in microwave ovens, toaster ovens and coffee makers, which were partially offset by increases in compact refrigerators and wine coolers, decreased by $4.0 million, or 11.0%, versus the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Our third quarter fiscal 2011 net sales of audio products declined by $2.7 million, or 31.3%, versus the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The third quarter of fiscal 2011 net sales comparative to prior year was also adversely affected by $1.2 million due to the absence of themed products sales in the current quarter, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in year-over-year licensing revenues. Net revenues for the nine month period of fiscal 2011 were $159.7 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 2.8%, over the nine month period of fiscal 2010 net revenues of $155.4. Our net sales during the nine month period of fiscal 2011 of houseware products, driven by increases in compact refrigerators, microwave ovens, and wine coolers, partially offset by decreases in toaster ovens and coffee makers, increased by $21.8 million, or 18.0% over the nine month period of fiscal 2010, and were partially offset by lower year-over-year net sales of audio products and the absence during the nine month period of fiscal 2011 of themed products sales. Our licensing revenues for the nine months of fiscal 2011 were up 8.2%, or $0.4 million.
Adrian Ma, Chief Executive Officer of Emerson Radio, commented “Despite a challenging quarter, our operating income, net income and earnings per share for both the third fiscal quarter and the fiscal year-to-date period were all higher than the prior year levels, due to our lower year-over-year level of SG&A and operating costs, a realized gain on the par value sale during the quarter of an auction rate security, as well as the higher year-to-date net revenues achieved.”
