Management Comments
Commenting on the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation, said, “The global market for programming capital equipment in the second quarter remained in the down cycle that began last year. Automotive sales declines, semiconductor cyclicality and global supply chain uncertainty are headwinds to the deployment of capital right now, and we are adjusting our planned 2019 spending and targets accordingly. Similar to the first quarter of this year, our performance in the second quarter reflects our disciplined and effective management practices. Margin strength and expense controls led to improved earnings on lower revenue as compared to the first quarter. As we invest and plan for the next upward cycle, we took the opportunity to return cash to shareholders through the continuation of our stock buyback.
“The long-term catalysts for our business continue to be the secular growth of electronic content in automobiles and IoT devices, and the increasing need to secure these platforms. We continued to invest in market development and R&D in the second quarter at a robust level even as discretionary and variable expenses declined compared to the first quarter and the prior year period.
“The investments we have been making include our SentriX platform for IoT security. Revenue adoption remains lower than we originally planned due to the longer time required for security provisioning to be designed into OEM production models. Despite the longer adoption cycle, we remain bullish on the market opportunity and our position in this emerging market. The 5th SentriX system was brought online in Europe in the second quarter.”
Financial Results
Net sales in the second quarter of 2019 were $5.8 million, as compared with $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. The year-over-year decline in sales was a result of a cyclical downtrend in the industry that began at the end of 2017.
For the 2019 second quarter, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 61.4%, as compared to 59.0% in the second quarter of 2018. The second quarter 2019 level exceeded the higher end of the Company’s anticipated 2019 target due to a favorable product mix and variances, primarily labor and overhead as well as foreign currency effects.
Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2019 were $3.5 million, down from $4.0 million in the 2018 period. Spending declined across the board with the most significant reductions due to lower variable incentive compensation accrual and stock compensation. Data I/O continues to support its industry leading platform of programming and provision solutions while emphasizing ongoing expense management practices.
Operating income was $75,000 for the second quarter of 2019, down from $246,000 for the second quarter of 2018. Net income in the second quarter of 2019 was $127,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income of $486,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018. Included in net income is foreign currency transaction gains of $69,000 for the second quarter of 2019 and $269,000 for the same period of the prior year.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) was $364,000 in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $796,000 in the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding equity compensation, was $728,000 in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2018.
Bookings in the second quarter of 2019 were $5.1 million, compared to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2018 and $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. Backlog at June 30, 2019 was $1.4 million, as compared with $2.0 million at March 31, 2019.
Data I/O’s financial condition remains strong with cash of $15.2 million at June 30, 2019, up from $14.8 million at March 31, 2019. During the second quarter, approximately $908,000 was used to buyback common stock. The Company had net working capital of $19.5 million at June 30, 2019, down from $20.4 million at March 31, 2019, which reflects the cash spent on the share repurchase. The Company continues to have no debt.
