RF Industries Reports Second Quarter Results


SAN DIEGO, CA, June 11, 2009 . . . RF INDUSTRIES, LTD. (NASDAQ:RFIL) today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended April 30, 2009.

Second Quarter Review
 
Net sales for the quarter were $3,525,000, compared to $4,508,000 in the same quarter last year.  Net income was $214,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to $542,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year.
 
Howard Hill, RFI's president and CEO said, "In this continuing weak economic environment sales were down 22% for the quarter and declined for all of our business segments.  Sales were off only 8% for the Connector and Cable Assembly business, RFI's largest and most profitable operation, which achieved the same 15% pre-tax operating income, as a percent of sales, as in the record second quarter last year. Sales declined at Bioconnect and RF Wireless due to low order rates during the period.
 
"RFI responded to the lower sales by improving efficiencies, reducing expenses, lowering headcount and cutting salaries.  The benefit of these efforts is apparent when comparing second quarter results to RFI's recent first quarter.  Although second quarter sales were down $60,000 from the first quarter, our cost-cutting efforts helped raise overall gross margin to 49% of sales from 46% of sales in the first quarter and lowered selling and general expenses by over $100,000.  The combined effect doubled second quarter operating income to $281,000, or 8% of sales, compared to $141,000, or 4% of sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2009."

First Half Review
 
For the six months ended April 30, 2009, net sales were $7,107,000, compared to $8,334,000 for the first half of fiscal 2008.  Net income was $377,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $714,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
 
"The weak economy resulted in a 15% decline in sales compared to the first six months last year and sales were down for all of RFI's business segments.  Connector and Cable Assembly sales were down only 8% for the first half and gross margins for this business improved due to our cost-cutting efforts.  Sales declines at Bioconnect and RF Wireless divisions were due to lower order rates and the absence of significant RF Wireless contracts in the first half," said Hill.
 
At April 30, 2009, RFI reported cash and cash equivalents and investments in available-for-sale-securities of $6,721,000, working capital of $14,351,000, a 17 to 1 current ratio, no long-term debt and stockholders' equity of $15,097,000 or a book value of $5.21 per share.  Since Fall, 2008 through May 31, 2009, RFI has repurchased approximately 360,000 shares of common stock.
