IEC Announces Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2014

Newark, NY – February 5, 2014 – IEC Electronics Corp. (NYSE MKT: IEC) announced its unaudited results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, ending December 27, 2013.

The Company reported revenue of $32.1 million for the quarter and net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.11) per diluted share. This compares to revenue in the prior year first quarter of $33.0 million and net loss of $101 thousand, or ($0.01) per diluted share. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company reported restatement and related expenses of $1.2 million compared to none in the first quarter of last year.

W. Barry Gilbert, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, “We continue to rebalance our operations and move forward. The rebalancing includes repositioning some of the senior management team. Simultaneously, we continue to invest capital into the company to improve our operating performance while also making changes to our overhead structure. The results of this rebalancing are expected to begin to take effect in the back half of our fiscal year.

“Our revenues were down slightly. One of our medical customers is on FDA hold and some of our industrial customers are predicting their sales will be flat or possibly down this year as compared to last year. These shifts create mix changes.

“Previously, we discussed that we were helping a communications customer resolve some technical design/manufacturing problems. The issues were resolved and the program has advanced as planned. However, slower than expected demand this past quarter in the customer’s end market has reduced our volume. Nonetheless, this does not dampen our optimism that this customer will become a strong partner moving forward.

“Our operations in the western half of the United States, which primarily support our military and aerospace customers, were down slightly as compared to Q1 of the previous year. Even though we have important long term agreements in place, we do not have release dates for some of this work. Importantly, these programs appear to be relatively insensitive to Congressional budget and debt reduction issues and we continue to see healthy long term demand from our military and aerospace customers.

“We have had a number of difficult quarters as we work through our issues. However, we are positioned well in solid markets, we have an extraordinary customer base, and our long term perspective has not changed; we view our future to be bright.”
