Giga-tronics Reports Third Quarter FY 2014 Results

 

 

San Ramon, CA – February 6, 2014 – Giga-tronics Incorporated (Nasdaq:GIGA) reported today net sales of $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $3.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Net sales for the nine month period ended December 28, 2013 were $10.4 million, compared to $11.4 million for the nine month period ended December 29, 2012. The decreases in net sales were primarily due to fiscal 2013 order fulfillment for the legacy SCPM switch product which was subsequently sold to Teradyne in the first month of fiscal 2014.

 

Gross margin percentage for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was 38%, compared to 41% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross margin percentage for the nine month period ended December 28, 2013 was 36% compared to 40% for the nine month period ended December 29, 2012. The decreases in gross margin percentage are primarily due to a less favorable product mix associated with additional shipments of a lower margin Giga-tronics division legacy products.

 

Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $2.1 million, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Operating expenses for both nine month periods ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were $7.1 million. The Company is currently spending approximately $1.0 million to $1.1 million in research and development per quarter. The majority of these expenses are associated with the development of the new product platform that is currently forecasted to start shipping in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

 

Net loss for the third quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 were $718,000 and $865,000, or $0.14 and $0.17 per fully diluted share, respectively. Net loss for the nine month periods ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were $2.5 million and $2.6 million, or $0.49 and $0.52 per fully diluted share, respectively.

 

During the quarter ended December 28, 2013 the Microsource business unit received a $1.1 million program extension associated with its radar filter components used in military aircraft. The Giga-tronics division also received a $190,000 follow on order from a large aerospace company associated with its new product platform.

 

Mr. John Regazzi, the Company’s CEO stated, "In connection with the substantial investment we have made in developing our new product platform, we are starting to see tangible results. Along with several beta units being assembled, we received $510,000 in orders for our new product platform through December 28, 2013 and customer interest continues to look promising.”

 

 
 

 

 

Mr. Regazzi concluded, “We believe the continued success of Microsource and our new product platform are essential elements for the Company to achieve future top line growth and improved operating performance."
