Revenue in Intricon’s Medical business was $23.9 million, an increase from $21.3 million in the comparable prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was driven primarily by the impact of EMS, which the company acquired in May 2020.

 

Hearing Health revenue was $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $4.9 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. The revenue increase was largely attributed to stronger legacy OEM and indirect-to-end-consumer sales, reflecting pent-up demand from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the expected decline in direct-to-end-consumer business.

 

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2020 was 25.7%, compared to 26.9% in the prior-year fourth quarter, primarily due to product mix.

 

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $6.8 million, compared to $6.7 million in the comparable prior-year period. The slight increase was due to $0.5 million in EMS operating expenses and a $0.4 million expense related to increases in fair value of the EMS earn-out liability, partially offset by previously disclosed cost reduction initiatives.

 

The company posted net income of $1.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2020, versus net income of $0.77 million or $0.08 per diluted share, for the 2019 fourth quarter.

 

Full Year 2020 Financial Results 

For 2020, the company reported net revenue of $102.8 million versus $113.5 million in 2019.

 

Revenue in Intricon’s Medical business was $79.0 million for 2020, a decrease from $82.1 million in 2019. The year-over-year decrease was driven primarily by the reduction in orders due to uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic partially offset by the previously mentioned acquisition of EMS, which contributed $7.4 million in revenue during 2020.

 

Hearing Health revenue was $19.0 million in 2020 compared to $24.9 million in 2019. The revenue decrease year-over-year was largely attributed to the absence of hi Health Innovations revenue and a reduction in advertising as part of the Hearing Help Express restructuring efforts, leading to reduced sales.

 

Gross margin in 2020 was 25.5%, compared to 27.3% in 2019, primarily due to lower revenues volumes, product mix, partially offset by cost reduction initiatives implemented in the 2020 second quarter.

 

Operating expenses for 2020 were $29.3 million, compared to $33.0 million in 2019. The change in operating expenses year-over-year was due to cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by $1.5 million in EMS operating expenses, $0.7 million of expense related increases in fair value of the EMS earn-out liability and $0.8 million in costs associated with the CEO Transition Agreement signed in June 2020.

 

The company posted a net loss of $2.5 million or $0.28 per diluted share for 2020, versus net loss of $3.8 million or $0.43 per diluted share, for 2019.

 

 

 

 

Total cash and investments was $33.5 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $40.6 million as of December 31, 2019.
