SECOND QUARTER 2020 EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT

CONFERENCE CALL SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

AUGUST 6, 2020

 

 

inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT) is providing Supplemental Information in conjunction with our 2020 second quarter press release in order to provide shareholders and analysts with additional time and detail for analyzing our financial results in advance of our quarterly conference call. The conference call will begin today, Thursday, August 6, 2020, at 6:00 pm EDT. To access the conference call, please dial (323) 794-2598 or (800) 458-4121. The passcode for the conference call is 1878028. Please reference the inTEST 2020 Q2 Financial Results Conference Call. In addition, a live webcast will be available on inTEST’s website, www.intest.com under the “Investors” section and a replay of the webcast will be available for one year following the live broadcast.

 

The historical roots of inTEST serve the inherently cyclical semiconductor market. In addition, we also serve a number of diversified growth markets for our precision equipment. As the cornerstone of inTEST, the semiconductor market (Semi Market) is an important component of our business. Complementing this market is our ‘Non-Semi’ market, which is referred to as ‘Multimarket.’ ‘Multimarket’ represents our diversification and refers to any markets other than the semiconductor market. This stems from our strategic objective of growing our business in non-semiconductor markets both organically as well as through acquisition. It is important to note that business within our Thermal segment can fall into either ‘Semi’ or ‘Multimarket,’ depending upon how our customers utilize our products or upon their respective applications.

 

Please see the “Reconciliation of Net Earnings (Loss) (GAAP) to EBITDA (Non-GAAP)” later in this document for more details on this non-GAAP financial measure, as well as a reconciliation from net earnings (loss) to EBITDA.

Second quarter 2020 gross margin was $6.1 million, or 46%, as compared with $4.9 million, or 43%, in the first quarter. The improvement in the gross margin was the result of a decrease in our fixed manufacturing costs as a percentage of net revenues in the second quarter. This improvement was partially offset by an increase in our consolidated component material costs from 30.3% in Q1 to 33.0% in Q2. The increase reflects higher component material costs in both our Thermal and EMS segments which were the result of less favorable product and customer mix in both segments.

 

Fixed manufacturing costs decreased $82,000 or 3% sequentially, to $2.4 million in Q2 2020, and were more favorably absorbed in the second quarter due to the higher net revenues. As a result, these costs represented 17.8% of our net revenues in the second quarter as compared to 21.8% in the first quarter. The decrease in the dollar amount of our fixed manufacturing costs was driven by decreased salary and benefits expense in our Thermal segment.

Results of Operations Highlights

 

Selling expense decreased by 14% sequentially to $1.8 million for the second quarter. The $291,000 decrease was driven primarily by reduced levels of travel as well as lower salary and benefit costs, and to a lesser extent, reduced spending on advertising and lower commission expense.

 

Engineering and product development expense decreased 6% sequentially to $1.2 million for the second. The $75,000 decrease was primarily driven by decreased use of third-party product development consultants as well as reduced patent legal costs.

 

General and administrative expense was $2.9 million for both the first and second quarters, with reduced salary and benefit expense fully offset by increases in professional fees and profit-related bonuses.

 

Other expense was $18,000 in the second quarter compared to $32,000 in the first quarter. Other expense in the second quarter was primarily driven by $25,000 in interest expense related to $2.8 million in borrowings under our $7.5 million working capital line of credit, which were borrowed and repaid during the quarter. Other expense during the first quarter was primarily driven by foreign exchange transaction losses of $38,000.

 

We accrued income tax expense of $13,000 in the second quarter, reflecting a 7% effective tax rate. This compares to a $250,000 income tax benefit booked in the first quarter, which reflected an effective tax rate of 18%. We expect that our effective tax rate will range from 15% to 17% throughout the balance of 2020 and the higher effective tax rate in the second quarter was driven by additional book to tax return adjustments.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we had net earnings of $170,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1.1) million or $(0.11) per diluted share for the first quarter.

 

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 10,258,917 for the second quarter of 2020. We issued 15,840 shares of restricted stock during the second quarter and did not repurchase any shares.

 

Depreciation expense was $155,000 for the second quarter (which was unchanged from the first quarter), while acquired intangible amortization was $309,000 (compared to $311,000 for the first quarter). Restricted stock compensation expense was $208,000 for the second quarter of 2020.

 

EBITDA increased from $(927,000) for the first quarter to $672,000 reported for the second quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

 

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter were $7.4 million, up $106,000 from March 31, 2020. During the quarter we had cash flow provided by operations of $200,000. During the quarter we borrowed and repaid $2.8 million under our $7.5 million working capital line of credit. Today cash stands at $6.5 million.

 

We currently expect cash and cash equivalents to increase by 12/31/20.

 

Accounts receivable increased $1.4 million to $9.5 million at June 30, 2020 with 65 DSO.

 

Inventories increased $210,000 to $7.9 million at June 30, 2020, which corresponded to 160 days of inventory.

 

Capital expenditures during the second quarter were $110,000, up from $80,000 in the first quarter.

 

The backlog at the end of June was $8.7 million, up from $8.1 million at March 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Results

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation to net earnings (loss). This non-GAAP financial measure is provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation as these expenses or income items may not be indicative of our current core business or future outlook. This non-GAAP financial measure is used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. A reconciliation from net earnings (loss) to EBITDA, is contained in the table above. The presentation of a non-GAAP financial measure is not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures or information provided in accordance with GAAP.
