Data I/O Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

 

Redmond, WA, Monday April 30, 2012 – Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading global provider of advanced programming and IP management solutions used in the manufacturing of flash and flash-based intelligent devices,  today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

Highlights

·         Revenue of $3.7 million and a loss of $1.7 million for the quarter

·         Backlog increased to $1.6 million at end of quarter

·         $6 million share repurchase program completed

·         NPI Award received for RoadRunner3 and Factory Integration Software at APEX

·         EM Asia Innovation Award received for newly launched FLXHD at NepCon Shanghai

 

Financial Results

Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 were $3.7 million, down 48 percent compared with $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.  Net loss in the first quarter of 2012 was ($1.7) million, or ($0.19) per share, compared with net income of $532,000 or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011. 

 

The Company believes the decline in orders and revenue relates primarily to reduced capital spending resulting from economic uncertainty related to the European sovereign debt and to a downturn in Asia-based electronics manufacturing.  On a regional basis, Europe had the biggest revenue decline dropping 61%, while Asia declined 45% and the Americas declined 19% compared to revenue in the first quarter of 2011.  Data I/O ended the quarter with a backlog of $1.6 million, compared to $0.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011 and $0.8 million at the end of the previous quarter on December 31, 2011. 

 

Orders for the first quarter of 2012 were $4.2 million compared with $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2011.  On a regional basis, orders in Europe and Asia were each down approximately 40% compared to the first quarter of 2011; however, orders from the Americas were up 14% compared to the first quarter of 2011.

 


 
 

“Our orders during the quarter were primarily performance- and process-related with our new RoadRunner3, RoadRunner, and Factory Integration Software (FIS) product lines showing the predominant growth,” stated Fred Hume, President and CEO.  “We believe the electronics manufacturing environment is improving.  We see companies—including our customers—reporting that activity is picking up, and they are raising their own respective outlooks.” 

 

Gross margin as a percentage of sales in the first quarter of 2012 was 52.8%, compared with 59.1% in the first quarter of 2011.  The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the decreased sales volume in relation to fixed costs offset in part by favorable variances including overhead related to the inventory increase. 

 

Excluding non-recurring CEO search firm and separation pay expense of $425,000, operating expenses decreased by $307,000 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Research and Development increased by $40,000 in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to the expenses related to the Azido initiative, but offset in part by a reduction in consultants and contractors expenses of $105,000.  Selling, General and Administrative expenses other than the above cited CEO transition costs declined $347,000 with the largest change coming from lower incentive compensation and lower sales commissions related to sales volume.

 

The Company’s cash position at March 31, 2012 decreased during the quarter to $12.3 million. The use of cash was primarily attributable to $6 million used in share repurchases during the quarter.   Accounts receivable decreased to $1.9 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to the lower sales volume and from effective collection efforts. Inventories were at $4.5 million at March 31, 2012, up from $4 million at December 31, 2011 and from $3.5 million at March 31, 2011 with the increase at the end of the first quarter primarily due to work in process and purchases in anticipation of a higher sales volume.  Deferred revenue was $1.2 million at March 31, 2012, compared $1.6 million at March 31, 2011.  The Company remains debt free. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had 7.7 million shares outstanding.
