IGO REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 27, 2012 – iGo, Inc. (Nasdaq: IGOI), a leading provider of eco-friendly power management solutions and accessories for mobile electronic devices, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2011.

Revenue was $8.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with $13.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Sales of power products declined to $5.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. This decline was partially offset by $2.4 million in sales of the new audio and rechargeable alkaline battery lines for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $640,000 for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Net loss was $5.7 million, or ($0.17) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared with net income of $416,000, or $0.01 per share, in the same quarter of the prior year. Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2011 included a $2.3 million writedown in the value of goodwill and other intangible assets carried on the Company’s balance sheet. Additional factors resulting in the reduction in profitability include a lower level of sales of power products and lower gross margins in the retail channel.

The Company had $15.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, $11.1 million in working capital (excluding cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments), and no debt as of December 31, 2011.

Michael D. Heil, President and Chief Executive Officer of iGo, commented, “We are disappointed in our financial performance for the fourth quarter as the decline in our power products category more than offset the continued growth we are seeing in audio products and rechargeable alkaline batteries. We will be implementing a number of initiatives throughout 2012 with a goal of improving our overall financial performance, including introducing new chargers across a broader range of price points and exploring relationships with larger distributors of mobile electronic device accessories.”
