PRESS RELEASE

InfoSonics Reports Fourth Quarter 2015 Results

SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2016 – InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), the provider of verykool® wireless handset solutions and tablets, today announced results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2015.

“This was a very challenging quarter for us on many fronts,” said Joseph Ram, president and CEO of InfoSonics. “The extremely weak currency environment in the Latin American markets we primarily serve worsened in the quarter, and put significant pressure on both our top line revenue and gross profit margin. This made it difficult for us to execute on our strategy to focus on the retail channel and grow revenues to balance some of the carrier business that we moved away from earlier in the year. In addition, we had a number of supply chain issues during the quarter that have been resolved, but temporarily constrained product flow and sales. However, we are encouraged by the 29% increase in our average unit selling price during the quarter compared to the prior year period, and the record high 83% mix of non-operator open market business. Although they did not generate revenue in 2015, we have established some new customer relationships that we believe will pay off in 2016. Looking forward, we will continue to refine and improve our product portfolio and increase our operational efficiencies.”

We had net sales for the 2015 fourth quarter of $10.2 million, which represented a $7.7 million, or 43%, decrease from $17.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction of sales to two carrier customers in South America and the Caribbean that we moved away from earlier in the year, as well as reduced sales to big box retailers in Mexico caused by supply chain constraints and currency related pricing pressures. Unit shipments during the quarter declined by 57% compared to the comparable period in 2014, and, as noted above, the average selling price per unit rose 29%, reflecting the demand for higher end smartphones in the retail channel compared to the operator channel. For the year ended December 31, 2015, our net sales were $47.8 million, which represented a small decline from $48.1 million in 2014.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $1.3 million, a 58% decrease compared to $3.0 million for the comparable period in 2014. Our gross profit margin as a percent of sales in the 2015 fourth quarter declined to 12.3% compared to 16.5% for the comparable period in 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2015, gross profit was $7.4 million, which represented an $834,000 decrease from $8.3 million in 2014.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $2.1 million, flat with the expense level in the 2014 fourth quarter. This reflects a $95,000, or 5%, increase in SG&A expenses and an elimination of R&D expenses, which amounted to $79,000 in the comparable period of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2015, operating expenses were $8.3 million, a 5% increase over $8.0 million in 2014.

The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $959,000, $0.07 per share, compared to net income of $730,000, $0.05 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the net loss was $1,243,000, $0.09 per share, compared to net income of $261,000, $0.02 per share, in 2014.

At December 31, 2015, we had $2.6 million in cash, $14.0 million of net working capital and no outstanding funded debt.
