NEWARK, Calif., – February 22, 2012 - Socket Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), an innovative provider of mobile productivity solutions, today reported financial results for the 2011 year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Revenue for the 2011 full year totaled $17.5 million, an increase of 30 percent compared to revenue of $13.5 million for 2010. Net loss for 2011 was $2.4 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million for 2010, or $1.05 per share. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) for 2011, a non-GAAP measure of operating results, was a net EBITDA loss of $154,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net EBITDA loss in 2010 of $2.5 million, or $0.66 per share.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $4.4 million, an increase of 69 percent, compared to revenue of $2.6 million in the same quarter a year ago. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $0.4 million, or a loss of $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or a loss of $0.42 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2011 was a net loss of $74,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to net EBITDA loss in the fourth quarter of 2010 of $1.2 million, or $0.31 per share.

Kevin Mills, president and chief executive officer, commented, “We made considerable progress in 2011 that included solid year-over-year revenue growth in both our cordless scanning and handheld computer family of products, improvement in gross margins and a reduction in operating expenses. These accomplishments were achieved while recovering from the economic slowdown that has affected business spending over the past several years and from the screen component shortages that delayed deliveries of our handheld computers during much of 2011. We are now timely fulfilling our customer orders and positioned to respond quickly to customer requirements.

“Revenue from our cordless scanning family of products grew 181 percent in 2011 compared to the prior year, from $1.8 million to $5.2 million, and represented 29 percent of our 2011 total revenue. This solid growth was driven by our 2D barcode scanners introduced in late 2010. Our 2D barcode scanners are fully compatible with Smartphones and tablets using the Apple, Android, Blackberry and Windows/Windows Mobile operating systems. We offer an easy-to-use software developer kit (SDK) for each operating system to enable developers to integrate barcode scanning into a wide range of software applications. Our 2D scanner is Apple MFI certified. We plan to Apple MFI certify our low cost Model 7Ci linear barcode scanner by the end of the first quarter of 2012.

“Revenue from our handheld computer family of products and related plug-in scanners and accessories grew 21 percent in 2011 compared to the prior year, from $8.2 million to $9.9 million, and represented 57 percent of our 2011 revenue. We’ve shipped over 50,000 SoMo Model 650 handheld computers into the mobile business market during the past four years, particularly for use in health care and hospitality applications. Earlier this month we introduced the SoMo Model 655 handheld computer with additional features that extends our commitment to the business mobility market. Our SoMo handheld computers are an ideal replacement for users of the HP Model 200 series iPaq handheld computers that HP discontinued last year.

“We improved gross margins for 2011 to 41.4 percent compared to 40.0 percent in 2010, and we reduced our operating expenses from $9.1 million in 2010 to $8.5 million in 2011. Higher revenues in 2011 in combination with improving margins and lower operating expenses reduced our EBITDA operating loss for 2011 to $154,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to an EBITDA operating loss for 2010 of $2.5 million, or $0.66 per share. We also strengthened our balance sheet during 2011 with conversion of $1.0 million in convertible notes into common stock. We added a working capital bank line in the fourth quarter. We remain committed to continued growth and reaching sustainable profitable operating levels in 2012,” Mills concluded.
