Data I/O Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results

Third Quarter Demand from Automotive Electronics Customers Remained Strong;
Company Reports Wins from Programming Centers and Wireless Customers

 

Redmond, WA, Thursday, Oct. 29 2015 – – Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced programming and IP management solutions for flash, flash-memory based intelligent devices and microcontrollers, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

 

Third-Quarter 2015 Highlights (on a year-over-year basis unless noted):

·         Net sales of $6.2 million

·         On a constant currency basis, net sales were up 4.6%

·         Net income of $439,000, or $0.05 per diluted share

·         Adjusted EBITDA, excluding equity compensation, was $645,000

·         Bookings of $5.9 million

·         Shipped first PSV7000 with LumenX™ programming technology to a leading European automotive electronics manufacturer

·         Sold multiple PSV3000 systems to a top-10 Chinese wireless company

 

“The 2015 third quarter further demonstrates the success we are having executing our business plan as our PSV product line continues to win in the marketplace,” said Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO.  “During the third quarter the PSV7000 increased its market share with automotive customers, we shipped multiple PSV3000 systems to a top-10 Chinese wireless company, and we won additional business at a global EMS company for our PSV5000.” 

“We enhanced our PSV7000 product line with the announcement of our new LumenX programming technology and shipped our first systems in the third quarter.  The PSV7000 with LumenX technology is a market leading programming system that combines the PSV7000’s superior handling and control capabilities with LumenX’s revolutionary programming technology.  The PSV7000 with LumenX is up to five times faster than competing forms of programming and duplicating technology and significantly reduces customers total cost of programming.” 

Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2015 were $6.2 million compared with $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 and up 24% sequentially from $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2015.  The 0.9% year-over- year decrease in sales was primarily a result of unfavorable foreign currency translation during the quarter, offset in part by higher equipment and consumables sales.  Net sales for the 2015 nine-month period increased 2.3% to $17.0 million from $16.6 million for the same period last year.  Unfavorable foreign currency translation of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro negatively impacted 2015 year-to-date sales, compared to the same period one year ago, by approximately $1 million.

 


 
 

 

 

For the 2015 third quarter, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 51.5%, compared to 54.6% in the third quarter of 2014.  The decrease in gross margin, as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, and product and channel mix.  For the 2015 nine month period, gross margin was 51.4% compared to 53.6% in the same period last year. 

 

Net income in the third quarter of 2015 was $439,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with net income of $646,000 or $0.08 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014.  During the 2015 third quarter, the company recognized approximately $90,000 of one-time expenses associated with relocating its corporate headquarters.  Year-to-date, net income was $589,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $750,000, or $0.09 per diluted share for the same period last year. 

 

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) was $552,000 in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $728,000 in the third quarter of 2014.  Adjusted EBITDA excluding equity compensation was $645,000 in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $818,000 in the third quarter of 2014. Year-to-date, EBITDA was $925,000, compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding equity compensation was $1.3 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year.

 

Bookings in the third quarter of 2015 were $5.9 million, compared to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2015.  Backlog at September 30, 2015 was $1.6 million, compared to $2.0 million at September 30, 2014 and $1.9 million at June 30, 2015.  Deferred revenue was $1.1 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $1.8 million at September 30, 2014, and $1.0 million at June 30, 2015.

 

Mr. Ambrose continued: “I am encouraged with our financial and competitive performance through the first nine months of 2015, despite severe headwinds from unfavorable currency exchange rates, and lower demand from Latin American customers.  We have overcome these challenges through a revamped product line that includes a full offering of market leading programming systems and technologies.  Strong demand from automotive electronics customers continued as a result of larger, more sophisticated programming requirements for instrument clusters and infotainment systems as well as overall strong demand for automotive electronics worldwide.  Data I/O has a strong and growing market presence driven by our product line of offline automated programming systems, ability to provide local service and engineering support to customers globally, and our solid balance sheet, which at September 30, 2015 had $9.0 million of cash and no debt outstanding."
