IEC Announces a Very Strong Third Quarter for Fiscal 2010
Compared to Q3 '09 Revenue Increased by 50%; Operating Profit as a Percent of Sales Improved to 8.7% Compared to 7.6%
NEWARK, NY--(Marketwire - July 19, 2010) - IEC Electronics Corp. (NYSE Amex: IEC) announced
its results for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 ending June 25, 2010.
For the quarter the Company reported revenue of $26.1 million, operating
profit of $2.3 million and net income of $1.2 million or $0.13 per share.
This compares to revenue of $17.3 million, operating profit of $1.3 million
and net income of $903,000 or $0.10 per share for the quarter ended June
26, 2009.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
were $2.6 million or $0.27 per share, compared to $1.6 million or $0.17 per
share for the same quarter last year. The Company views EBITDA as a useful
measure of its operating performance as it eliminates the aberrations
produced by our net operating loss carryforward (NOL), and enables the
investment community to better evaluate our long run profitability and cash
being generated by the Company.
For the nine months ended June 25, 2010 IEC had revenue of $69.4 million,
operating profit of $5.7 million and net income of $3 million or $0.32 per
share. This compares to revenue of $49.5 million, operating profit of $3.4
million and net income of $4 million or $0.43 per share for the first nine
months of fiscal 2009. In fiscal 2009, the first nine month's net income
was favorably impacted by a net tax credit of $1.5 million during the
second quarter. Absent that tax credit, net income for the first nine
months of fiscal 2009 was $2 million or $0.23 per share.
EBITDA for the nine month period ended June 25, 2010 totaled $6.1 million
or $0.63 per share, compared to $3.6 million or $0.37 per share for the
same period last year.
W. Barry Gilbert, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, "This was an
especially good quarter. Operating profit of over 8.5% of sales is unique
in our industry. Sales growth of more than 50% and operating profit growth
of more than 70% as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were
especially gratifying. We continue to execute our growth strategy and
enjoy the benefit of a favorable mix of products. Excluding the
contribution from our acquisition of GTC, our sales growth from IEC
Contract Manufacturing and IEC Wire and Cable was over 15% as compared to
the same period of fiscal 2009. We expect to meet our forecasted full-year
2010 revenue of $96 million.
"GTC continues to perform well and its integration with IEC Electronics is
moving along nicely. Likewise, GTC's backlog continues to grow as they
have acquired a number of new programs from existing customers. As we
observed last quarter, unlike IEC Contract Manufacturing and IEC Wire and
Cable, whose backlog is shipped during the next four to nine months, GTC's
backlog is weighted to 2011 and beyond.
"Consistent with past practice, we do not report our backlog during the
year. However, our shareholders should be pleased to know that our current
backlog is higher than the backlog reported in our Form 10-K for fiscal
2009.
"Our sector performance remains consistent with previous quarters. The
military/aerospace sector remains strong and represents 59% of our sales
for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 as compared to 55% of sales at the
close of fiscal 2009. Our medical/other sector has increased from 8% of
sales at the close of fiscal 2009 to 13% of sales for the first nine months
of fiscal 2010. Our industrial sector though growing in absolute terms,
declined slightly to 20% of sales for the first nine months of this year as
compared to 24% of sales at the close of fiscal year end 2009. The
turbulence in the economy impacts the industrial sector more than the
others. However, we expect the sector to gain strength over the balance of
the year and we envision modest continued improvement in fiscal 2011.
"In summary, our Company continues to move in the right direction and we
are confident that we are creating future value for our shareholders and
opportunity for our employees."
