REDMOND, WA — (Marketwire) — 07/21/11 — 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Second quarter 2011 revenue increased 4 percent to $6.8 million from $6.6 million in the same period last year
Second quarter 2011 order bookings increased 11 percent to $7.3 million from $6.5 million in the same period last year and increased 19 percent sequentially from $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2011
Revenue from Asia grew 48 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010
Second quarter 2011 net income was $398,000, or $0.04 per diluted share
$3 million acquisition of software technology was completed during the quarter
Cash was $17 million at the end of the second quarter
Revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $6.8 million, up 4 percent compared with $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, but down sequentially from $7 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net income in the second quarter of 2011 was $398,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $859,000 or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in net income is attributed primarily to higher development expenses, largely short-term, associated with new products to be released over the coming quarters.
On a regional basis, Asia had strong growth this period, with revenue growth of 48 percent over the second quarter of 2010. Revenue from Europe declined 3 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010. Revenue from the Americas declined 26 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010, particularly due to continued decreased sales in Mexico and lower custom software sales, but on a sequential basis, revenue from the Americas increased 24% over the first quarter of 2011.
“We were pleased to see the sequential recovery of sales from the Americas during the quarter,” said Fred Hume, President and CEO. “This growth is primarily attributed to demand from automotive related business.”
Second quarter 2011 order bookings increased 11 percent to $7.3 million from $6.5 million in the same period last year and increased 19 percent sequentially from $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2011. Data I/O ended the quarter with a backlog of $1.4 million, compared to $1.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2010 and $0.9 million at March 31, 2011.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of 2011 was 58.5 percent, compared with 58.4 percent in the second quarter of 2010 and 59.1 percent in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the product mix, increased service labor related costs and engineering contract software costs offset in part by less unfavorable factory variances.
Operating expenses increased by $655,000 in the second quarter of 2011 to $3.5 million compared to $2.8 million in the same period in 2010, but were flat compared to the first quarter of 2011. The $315,000 increase in Research and Development (R&D) expense compared to the second quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the use of outside resources to accelerate our growth initiatives and due to $94,000 less costs absorbed by operations on software contracts. Also included in second quarter 2011 R&D expense was two months amortization expense of $73,000 associated with the software technology acquisition. However, overall R&D expense was actually down $77, 000 sequentially from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to fewer materials used. Sales, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense increased to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $1.9 million in the same period in 2010 due to increased use of outside professional consultants, higher compensation and travel costs, offset by $169,000 of lower incentive compensation. SG&A was sequentially flat compared to the first quarter of 2011.
The Company-s cash position at June 30, 2011 was $17.0 million, down $2 million due to cash used in the software technology acquisition on April 29, 2011. Accounts receivable decreased to $5.3 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $5.5 million at March 31, 2011. Inventories increased to $3.9 million at June 30, 2011, from $3.5 million at March 31, 2011 due to materials for new product initiatives and in response to certain supplier-s longer lead times. Deferred revenue was $1.4 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $1.6 million at March 31, 2011.
“Roadrunner 3, our first new product incorporating software from our software initiative, is complete and ready to launch on August 1st,” said Fred Hume, President and CEO. “We are excited by this new offering and our other new product initiatives.
