Mon, October 26, 2009 Data I/O Corporation: Data I/O Announces Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results
REDMOND, WA--(Marketwire - October 26, 2009) - Data I/O Corporation (
Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $5.3 million, compared with $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2008 and $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2009. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net income in the third quarter of 2009 was $331,000, or $0.04 per share, compared with net income of $1.2 million or $0.13 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 2009 was 56.2 percent, compared with 59.7 percent in the third quarter of 2008 and 48.3% in the second quarter of 2009. This gross margin percentage decline compared to the third quarter of 2008 was primarily due to the impact of decreased sales volume relative to fixed operating costs. Our ability to generate a 56.2% gross margin on $5.3 million in sales was due primarily to achieving improved direct material margins and the actions taken over the past year to reduce labor and overhead. Backlog at the end of the quarter was $876,000.
Reflecting our continued emphasis on controlling costs and the past year's restructuring actions, operating expenses were $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared with $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2008.
The company's cash position improved by $571,000 during the third quarter, with cash at September 30, 2009 at $15.3 million compared to $11.6 million at September 30, 2008. This reflects the continuing efforts to improve collections and manage inventory. Delinquent accounts over 60 days have been reduced to $110,000 from $2.0 million one year ago, with the overall accounts receivable balance at $3.5 million and $7.8 million at September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. We have continued to focus on reducing our inventories which are at $4.3 million at September 30, 2009, down from $5.3 million one year ago. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $701,000 for the third quarter of 2009.
"While orders were down from the third quarter of last year in all geographies, we were pleased to see a 37% growth in orders over the second quarter of 2009 with growth in all geographies," said Fred Hume, President and CEO. "We are also pleased that we have been able to grow cash during the downturn and return to profitability; however, we continue to operate in challenging economic times. At the start of the fourth quarter we are seeing progressively stronger sales funnels worldwide."
"We are excited to announce that we have shipped our new FlashCORE III programmers in our FlashPAK during the quarter. FlashCORE III is also available in our ProLINE RoadRunner, FLX, and PS product families," said Hume. "We invite you to see our new products at the upcoming Productronica trade show in Munich on November 10th."
