Zoom Telephonics Reports Results for the Second Quarter of 2012
Boston, MA, August 1, 2012 –Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (OTCQB: ZMTP), a leading manufacturer of modems and other communication products, today reported net sales of $3.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, up 21.0% from $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2011. Zoom reported a net loss of $211 thousand or $0.03 per share for Q2 2012, compared to a net loss of $326 thousand or $0.06 per share for Q2 2011.
Gross profit was $920 thousand or 24.0% of net sales in Q2 2012, up from $749 thousand or 23.7% of net sales in Q2 2011. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher sales.
Operating expenses were $1.12 million or 29.3% of net sales in Q2 2012, down from $1.15 million or 36.2% of net sales in Q2 2011. Selling expenses decreased $81 thousand to $501 thousand from Q2 2011 to Q2 2012 due primarily to lower freight costs and lower advertising costs. G&A expenses increased $9 thousand to $299 thousand from Q2 2011 to Q2 2012. R&D expenses increased $47 thousand to $321 thousand from Q2 2011 to Q2 2012 due primarily to higher costs for cable modem certification and new product engineering.
Zoom’s cash balance on June 30, 2012 was $63 thousand, down $581 thousand from December 31, 2011. Zoom’s $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable and $0.3 million loss for the first half of 2012 decreased cash. Zoom’s $0.5 million increase in bank debt increased cash as Zoom moved to minimize early-pay discounts and thereby increased the time to collect receivables. Zoom’s current ratio was 2.9 on June 30, 2012.
“We are pleased with our sales growth and improved operating results, but disappointed that our low gross margin resulted in a net loss,” said Frank Manning, Zoom’s President and CEO. “Our sales growth came primarily from our lines of cable and ADSL modem products, and this hurt our gross margin percentage. We continue to try to improve gross margins for our existing products. We also continue to develop new products, including our coming ZoomGuardTM line of wireless sensors and controls.”
