BAY SHORE, N.Y., June 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DGT Holdings Corp. (OTCBB:DGTC) ("DGT Holdings" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its fiscal 2012 third quarter and nine months ended April 28, 2012.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Three Month Results
Sales for the fiscal 2012 third quarter increased 11.6% to $3,050 from $2,732 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, due to increased volume at the Power Conversion Group.
Gross margin for the fiscal 2012 third quarter was 30.9% as compared to 30.2% in the same period last year. The increase in margin is due to the additional volume and favorable product mix during the fiscal 2012 third quarter.
Operating expenses in the fiscal 2012 third quarter were $1,420, or 46.6% of total sales, compared to $1,104, or 40.4% of total sales, in the prior year's third quarter, primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense and legal fees related to the sale of the RFI business, discussed below.
Operating loss for the fiscal 2012 third quarter was $478 compared to an operating loss of $279 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The Power Conversion Group had operating income of $141 in the fiscal 2012 third quarter, compared to operating income of $121 in the comparable period last year. The Other segment, consisting of unallocated corporate expenses and the building in Italy, had an operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 of $619, as compared to $400 in the third quarter of the prior year.
Loss from continuing operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $439, or $0.11 per share, compared to a loss of $270, or $0.07 per share in the prior year period.
The Villa subsidiary was sold on November 3, 2011 and had no income or loss during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, while the third quarter of fiscal 2011 had three months of activity. Discontinued operations, related to the Villa sale, were disposed of during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The prior year third quarter had a net loss of $80 on sales of $9,920.
Net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, was $439, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $350, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share in the comparable prior year period.
Nine Month Results
Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 increased 14.9% to $8,578 from $7,467 in the same period of the prior year.
Gross margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was 32.9% as compared to 22.0% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011. Process improvements affecting material utilization attributed to increased margins and reduced material variances in the first nine months of fiscal 2012. Additionally, revenue increased 14.9% from prior year, while the plant overhead remained flat resulting in an increase of gross margin % over the prior year results. The comparable prior year margin was also adversely impacted by unfavorable product mix and increased reserves for excess inventory.
Operating expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2012 were $3,978, or 46.4% of sales, compared to $3,322, or 44.5% in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense and legal fees related to the sale of the RFI business, discussed below.
Operating loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $1,156, compared to an operating loss of $1,679 in the first nine months of the prior year. The Power Conversion Group had operating income of $478 in the first nine months of fiscal 2012, compared to an operating loss of $464 in the same period of the prior year. Operating loss related to the Other segment for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $1,634 compared to $1,215 in the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
Loss from continuing operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was $1,111, or $0.29 per share, compared to an operating loss of $1,716, or $0.62 per share, in the comparable prior year period.
Discontinued operations had net income from operations of $1,230 during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 on sales of $16,714, compared to net income of $2,769 in the first nine months of the prior fiscal year on sales of $45,581. The Villa subsidiary was sold on November 3, 2011 and the fiscal 2012 results only include four months of activity compared to nine months in the prior year. The prior fiscal year first quarter sales included unusually high volume that was not repeated in fiscal year 2012.
A net gain on the sale of Villa of $6,837 was recognized during the first nine months of fiscal 2012.
Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2012, which includes the gain on the sale of Villa, was $6,956, or $1.81 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1,053, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
BACKLOG
Consolidated backlog at April 28, 2012 was $4,452 compared to $4,360 at July 30, 2011. Substantially all of the backlog should result in shipments within the next 12 to 15 months.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
DGT Holdings' balance sheet at April 28, 2012 reflected working capital of $47.3 million, which included $45.7 million of cash.
The cash balance, net of debt is $43.3 million, or $11.28 per share.
COMMENTS
John J. Quicke, DGT Holdings' President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our third quarter results reflect a modest increase in sales over the prior fiscal year, and an increase in gross margin due to the higher sales and favorable product mix. We continue to actively monitor ways to enhance shareholder value."
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On June 6, 2012, the Company, along with its RFI Corporation subsidiary ("RFI"), entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Ultra Electronics Defense, Inc. (the "Purchaser"), an affiliate of Ultra Electronics Holdings plc, a UK corporation.
Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell (the "Asset Sale") its power conversion business, which is currently operated by RFI, to the Purchaser for the purchase price of $12.5 million (the "Purchase Price") (subject to a potential working capital adjustment), payable in cash. $1,250 of the Purchase Price is to be held in escrow to serve as security for payments in satisfaction of certain of the Company's indemnification obligations and $237 of the Purchase Price is to be held in escrow to cover any potential net working capital adjustment. The Purchaser has also agreed to lease the RFI facility in Bay Shore, New York following the Asset Sale.
The obligations of each of the parties to consummate the Asset Sale are subject to customary conditions, including, among other things, the conclusion of a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States with respect to national security concerns, the approval of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and the exercise by the holders of no more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our common stock of their statutory appraisal or dissenters' rights with respect to the Asset Sale. The Company has agreed to pay to the Purchaser a termination fee of $725 in the event the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances.
The RFI results will be reported as a discontinued operation after shareholder approval is received.
