PRESS RELEASE

InfoSonics Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

Profitability and Record Sales of verykool® Products

SAN DIEGO, May 3, 2012 – InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), a provider of wireless handset solutions serving Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

“We are extremely pleased to report a profitable quarter driven by a fourth consecutive quarter of record sales of our verykool® products,” said Joseph Ram, president and CEO of InfoSonics. “Sales of verykool® products in the first quarter of 2012 more than tripled in comparison to the same quarter of the prior year. This reflects a doubling of sales to customers in Latin America compared to the prior year, as well as a significant incremental contribution from sales of private label OEM products to customers in Europe, Africa and Asia.”

Commenting further on the results, Mr. Ram noted, “The strong growth of our verykool® business in relation to the expected decline of our low-margin distribution business resulted in a very favorable product mix. The large majority of our 2012 first quarter revenue was derived from sales of verykool® products compared to a minority in the same quarter of the prior year. As a consequence, our gross profit margin more than doubled from the prior year, rising from 8.6% to 18.3%, which drove us to profitability for the quarter. We are also pleased with many other positive financial metrics for the quarter including a 23% sequential quarterly increase in cash, a 15% sequential decrease in days sales outstanding in receivables and a 21% sequential increase in inventory turns. And, we continue to be debt free. We are optimistic about the rest of 2012 as our development team is working on many new models that we expect to deliver in the coming quarters, and we hope to be able to continue improving the visibility and acceptance of the verykool® brand in the marketplace in both our existing markets and new markets we are exploring.”

InfoSonics reported net sales for the first quarter of 2012 of $12.4 million, which represents a 30% increase over $9.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. Gross profit in the first quarter of 2012 was $2.3 million, a 178% increase over $812,000 in the 2011 first quarter. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2012 were $2.1 million, an increase of 16% compared to $1.8 million in the 2011 first quarter. This reflects an 11% increase in sales and marketing expenses primarily attributable to increases in personnel, commissions on higher sales volume and expenses related to new product launches. In addition, R&D expenses rose by 40% as we expanded our development team and introduced more new models. Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $105,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $894,000, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of 2011.

At March 31, 2012, the company had $15.3 million in cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, $18.9 million of net working capital and no outstanding indebtedness.
