Financial Results
Revenues for the third quarter of 2011 were $7.1 million, up 7 percent compared with $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 and $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. Europe was the company’s strongest geographic region, with sales increasing 39% compared to the third quarter of 2010. On a product basis, sales increased 23% for Data I/O’s automated systems, which were partially offset by a decline in non-automated systems compared to the third quarter of 2010. Americas continued to recover with 13% growth in the third quarter 2011, while Asia revenues were down following strong growth in the first and second quarters of 2011. Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $130,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net income of $833,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.
“Automotive business drove the European sales for the quarter,” said Fred Hume, President and CEO. “The PS family with its rich feature and software options was the primary choice of automotive and programming center customers. We look forward to
1
the November Productronica trade show in Munich, Germany, when we will be able to introduce new capabilities for our PS family.”
Gross margin as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 2011 was 55.9 percent, compared with 57.9 percent in the third quarter of 2010 and 58.5 percent in the second quarter of 2011. This gross margin decrease compared to the third quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the impact of increased direct materials cost as a result of the overall product mix. Operating expenses were $3.6 million compared to $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2010. This reflects approximately $250,000 of expense related to Azido, our new name for the software technology purchase we announced back in May, $200,000 of increased contractor and consultant related expense, and $128,000 less contract software engineering development costs charged to cost of sales.
Net non-operating expense of $165,000 included $178,000 of currency exchange volatility related expense primarily related to cash accounts denominated in US dollars in foreign subsidiaries and inter-company balances denominated in other currencies. Data I/O ended the quarter with a backlog of $1.3 million, compared to $1.7 million at September 30, 2010 and $1.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2011.
The Company’s cash position at September 30, 2011 increased $1.4 million during the quarter to $18.4 million. Accounts receivable decreased to $4.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $5.5 million at September 30, 2010 and $5.3 million at June 30, 2011 primarily due to improved collections. Inventories were at $3.8 million at September 30, 2011, down slightly from $3.9 million at both September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011.
A share repurchase program was authorized with provisions to buy back up to $1 million dollars of stock over four quarters. The program will be established under a 10b5-1 plan under the Exchange Act to provide flexibility to make purchases throughout the period.
“We are pleased to report continued revenue growth for the quarter. The accelerated investment in our product initiatives continued in the third quarter, but accelerated spending will now be scaled back,” Mr. Hume added. “During the third quarter, we were able to launch RoadRunner 3 and Factory Integration Software for the RoadRunner family, the first of our internal software development initiatives. The Company expects to reduce its use of contractors and consultants by over $250,000 in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter. We continue to make good progress developing the use of and offerings for Azido. Overall, while we note the expressed uncertainty and lack of visibility discussed in the media for the electronics industry, we believe that our sales prospect funnels continue to be strong.”
