RELM Wireless Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

WEST MELBOURNE, Florida -- May 6, 2015 -- RELM Wireless Corporation (NYSE MKT: RWC) today announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, sales increased 9.6% to approximately $8.6 million, compared with $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2014.  Net income for the first quarter 2015 increased approximately 13.3% to $538,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with net income of approximately $475,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year.

Gross profit margin for the first quarter 2015 improved to 42.9% of sales, compared with 40.2% of sales for the same quarter last year.  Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2.9 million (34.3% of sales) for the first quarter 2015, compared with approximately $2.5 million (32.5% of sales) for the first quarter of 2014.

The Company had approximately $29.7 million in working capital as of March 31, 2015, of which $16.4 million was comprised of cash and trade receivables.  This compares with working capital of $28.9 million as of December 31, 2014, of which $14.6 million was comprised of cash and trade receivables.  As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

RELM President and Chief Executive Officer David Storey commented, “The first quarter was a positive start to the year.  Our sales were a Company record for the first quarter, and almost 10% above last year’s strong first quarter sales.  A major contributor to this performance was international sales, which is a key strategic growth objective for us.  Importantly, these sales are to new public safety customers.  Sales to some of our legacy customers supplemented the new international wins.  Gross profit margins were solid, and improved from the first quarter last year.  Also, our operating income increased over 23% compared to the first quarter last year.  Meanwhile, our working capital position continued to grow and we remain debt-free.”

Mr. Storey continued, “I am encouraged that we realized some success entering new markets and gaining traction with new customers, which are cornerstones of our strategic plans for growth.  We are looking forward to capitalizing on our momentum in coming quarters.”
