Data I/O Reports 2015 Second Quarter Financial Results

REDMOND, WA — (Marketwired) — 07/30/15 — 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

(on a year-over-year basis unless noted):

Net sales of $5.0 million

Net income of $100,000, or $0.01 per diluted share

Adjusted EBITDA, excluding equity compensation, was $345,000

Bookings of $5.1 million

PSV5000 automated programming system announced and multiple PSV5000–s sold and delivered

Strong year-to-date growth to automotive customers

Profitable for the fifth consecutive quarter

“Sales to automotive customers remain strong and now represent approximately half of our total 2015 year-to-date sales, up significantly from 2014 as the PSV7000 continues to win in the automotive market,” said Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO. “In addition to the success of our PSV7000, our other new products are winning in the marketplace, and during the quarter we sold and delivered multiple PSV5000–s. We further lowered our cost of doing business during the second quarter of 2015 as we successfully negotiated a lease for a new headquarters facility that will save the company $1.5 million of cash over the life of the lease.”

“We remain focused on developing technologies that drive growth and significantly reduce the total cost of programming,” continued Mr. Ambrose. “In this regard, Data I/O–s Chief Technology Officer, Rajeev Gulati, will be discussing a breakthrough in programming architecture at the FLASH Memory Summit in San Jose California August 11 to 13. We are optimistic this technology will have a significant impact to customers in the automotive and wireless markets.”

Net sales in the second quarter of 2015 were $5.0 million, compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2014. The 11.4% year-over-year decrease in second quarter sales was primarily a result of unfavorable foreign currency translation during the quarter of approximately $300,000 related to the U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro, as well as lower product and consumable sales. Net sales for the first-half of 2015 were $10.9 million, compared to $10.4 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 by approximately $700,000.

For the second quarter of 2015, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 54.9%, compared to 54.0% in the second quarter of 2014. The gross margin increase was primarily due to lower labor costs and overhead variances, offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates. For the first half of 2015, gross margin was 51.4% compared to 53.0% in the same period last year.

Net income in the second quarter of 2015 was $100,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net income of $447,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014. Year-to-date net income was $149,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $104,000, or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) was $197,000 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $562,000 in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA excluding equity compensation was $345,000 in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $687,000 in the second quarter of 2014. Year-to-date, EBITDA was $372,000, compared to $384,000 for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding equity compensation was $610,000, compared to $608,000 for the same period last year.

Bookings in the second quarter of 2015 were $5.1 million, compared to $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, and $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. Backlog at June 30, 2015 was $1.9 million, compared to $1.7 million at March 31, 2015, and $2.7 million at June 30, 2014. Deferred revenue was $1.0 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $2.1 million at June 30, 2014, and $1.0 million at March 31, 2015.

Mr. Ambrose continued, “We are encouraged by our leading position in the marketplace as our PSV product line continues to be well received by new and existing customers. As a result, our market share is increasing as we sell more products to existing customers, and displace competitive programming systems and other forms of programming technology. File sizes are increasing significantly, especially for automotive applications, and Data I/O–s products are uniquely positioned to program large and complex data files. Our balance sheet at June 30, 2015 remained strong with $9.1 million of cash and no debt.”
