INTRICON REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

 

ARDEN HILLS, Minn. — May 19, 2020 — IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer and manufacturer of miniature interventional, implantable and body-worn medical devices, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

Commenting on the recently completed quarter, Mark Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon commented, “The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been extraordinary. At IntriCon, we quickly responded by shifting our operations to best ensure the health of our employees and their families, while maintaining operation-critical processes essential to supporting our customers, their patients, and our on-going business.

 

“During this period we also completed a number of actions that we believe will significantly transform our organization and best position us for long term growth by focusing on what we do best - delivering complex micro-miniature medical devices that require specialized design expertise and high production volumes. These actions included the acquisition of Emerald Medical Services, which immediately expands our medical market opportunity and diversifies our customer base. Following our decision last quarter to discontinue direct-to-consumer initiatives in the hearing health market, we accelerated a restructuring within our Hearing Help Express business to further focus resources on partnership opportunities and substantially reduce the associated losses. We also took actions to restructure other areas of our global workforce to further streamline our resources to best align with current priorities,” continued Gorder.

 

First Quarter Financial Highlights:

 

 

  • Revenue of $21.5 million
    • Revenue from largest medical customer declined 21.2% year-over-year
  • Gross margin of 21.3%
  • Net loss per diluted share of $0.22 versus net income of $0.08 per diluted share in the prior year period
  • Enacted measures designed to ensure business continuity, reduce operating expense, and preserve cash as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts revenue

 

Recent Operational Highlights:

 

  • Acquired Emerald Medical Services Pte. Ltd., a privately held provider of joint development medical device manufacturing services for complex catheter applications
  • Completed a global net workforce reduction of 25 positions resulting in an annual, net cost savings of approximately $1.5 million
  • Accelerated the Hearing Help Express restructuring to focus on partnerships in the hearing health market, resulting in an approximately $2.0 million reduction in consumer advertising expense in 2020 as compared to 2019 and a workforce reduction resulting in an annual, net cost savings of approximately $900,000
  • Enhanced our leadership team with two key additions with extensive organization development expertise
    • Heather Rider joined IntriCon’s board of directors in March
    • Sara Hill joined the company’s executive team as Chief Human Resource Officer

 

 
 

 

“I’m proud of the substantial progress the IntriCon team has made on the priorities we established for the year, including continuing to meet the volume demands of Medtronic’s diabetes business; accelerating market and customer diversification; pursuing partnerships in hearing health; and adjusting our organizational structure to address opportunities in high growth markets,” concluded Gorder.

 

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

For the 2020 first quarter, the company reported net revenue of $21.5 million versus $29.6 million in the comparable prior-year period. Net revenues in the quarter included a one-time charge of $1.2 million reflecting a change in the company’s revenue recognition methodology for certain medical customers.

 

Revenue in IntriCon’s Medical business in the first quarter of 2020 was $16.4 million, a decrease from $20.8 million in the comparable prior-year period. The year over year decline was driven primarily by the COVID-19 impact on diabetes, one-time revenue recognition adjustment, partially offset by medical coil demand.

 

Hearing Health revenue was $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $7.0 million in the prior-year first quarter. The revenue decline during the first quarter was largely attributed to the absence of hi HealthInnovations revenue and COVID-19 impact on the Legacy hearing health channel.

 

Gross margin in the first quarter of 2020 was 21.3%, down from 28.9% in the prior-year first quarter. Gross margins were constrained by excess manufacturing capacity.

 

Operating expenses for the first quarter were $6.6 million, compared to $7.5 million in the comparable prior-year period. The decrease stemmed from a substantial reduction in advertising expense in its direct-to-end-consumer business.

 

The company posted a net loss of approximately $2.0 million or $0.22 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2020, versus net income of approximately $775,000 or $0.08 per diluted share, for the 2019 first quarter.

 

2020 Guidance

IntriCon withdrew its previously announced annual guidance for 2020 on April 7, 2020. Given the uncertain scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company remains unable to accurately estimate the impact of the pandemic on its future operations and financial results.
