SigmaTron International, Inc. Reports Year End Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2012

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., July 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SigmaTron International, Inc. (Nasdaq:SGMA), an electronic manufacturing services company, today reported revenues and earnings for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012. Revenues increased 3.2% to $156.6 million in fiscal year 2012 from $151.7 million in the prior fiscal year. Net income decreased to $1,134,324 in fiscal year 2012 compared to $1,978,034 in fiscal year 2011. Diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 were $0.29 compared to $0.51 in fiscal year 2011.

For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, revenues increased to $39.7 million compared to $38.5 million for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2012 fourth quarter were $0.17 per share compared to $0.07 per share for the same period of fiscal year 2011.

Commenting on SigmaTron's results, Gary R. Fairhead, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "SigmaTron's fourth quarter was a most interesting quarter for the Company. From a financial perspective, the fourth quarter was our strongest quarter in fiscal 2012, posting pre-tax profits of $886,838, which was 54% of our pre-tax profits for the entire fiscal year. Furthermore, the pre-tax profits were after selling and administrative expenses of approximately $530,000 related to the Spitfire acquisition, which shows how strong the quarter was shaping up early on. However, mirroring the general economy as recently reported by the media, backlog & sales eased near the end of the quarter, dashing any short term hopes that the general economy was experiencing the long awaited strong recovery.

"When comparing fiscal 2012 to 2011, the results are disappointing but not unexpected given the continuing volatility and sluggishness of the U.S. and world economies. Sales grew 3.2% yet pre-tax profits were down 48%. This is evidence of the continuing pressure on margins that we expect to see until the economy starts a sustained recovery. Hopefully we will see that start during fiscal 2013. Until that time we will manage our cost structure as best we can, given the uncertainty we face nationally and internationally. We also will work on integrating Spitfire into SigmaTron, which we believe will ultimately improve our economies of scale and provide new revenue opportunities.

"From a strategic perspective, we acquired Spitfire Controls on May 31, 2012. SigmaTron will now have an original design manufacturing ("ODM") division well positioned to grow in the electronic appliance control marketplace. The Company also adds significant engineering design capabilities for the first time, thereby providing a greater breadth of services to customers.

"From a tactical perspective, we decided to relocate our Tijuana operation to what we feel is a superior location in Tijuana and which will accommodate future growth at a lower total cost of occupancy. From the Spitfire acquisition we gained two new manufacturing locations in Chihuahua, Mexico and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam that will service appliance and other markets we serve. As I stated in our June 1, 2012 press release, we believe Mexico will be the manufacturing location of choice for North America going forward and Vietnam will provide tactical advantages for us in Asia given that country's low cost structure.

"As always, I want to thank our customers, supply chain, our bank, Wells Fargo, our employees and our new and long serving Directors for their support and efforts during fiscal 2012."
