EX-99.1 2 a4759887ex99.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 Boston Acoustics Announces Second Quarter Results PEABODY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2004--Boston Acoustics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BOSA) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of the 2005 fiscal year, which ended September 25, 2004. Net sales for the quarter decreased approximately 7%, to $12.3 million from $13.1 million for the same period a year ago. However, net income increased to approximately $240,000 from approximately $137,000, and diluted earnings per share increased to $.06 per share compared to $.03 per share for the same period a year ago. During the quarter, the Company, in partnership with Visteon Corporation, ramped up its shipments of premium audio systems to the Chrysler Group for the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300 vehicles, in addition, the initial shipment of audio systems for Chrysler's 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee family of vehicles commenced in the second quarter. For the six months ended September 25, 2004, net sales decreased approximately 3% to $24.9 million from $25.7 million in the same period a year ago. Net income was approximately $0.7 million compared to $0.4 million and diluted earnings per share were $.17 per share compared to $.08 per share for the six months ended September 27, 2003. President and CEO Moses Gabbay stated, "The overall sales decrease of approximately 7% is attributed to the reduction of business in two previously announced areas: the strategic phase out of our OEM/Multimedia business and the reduced purchases of a major customer. On a positive note, the impact of these specific losses of revenue for the second quarter was significantly minimized through continued double digit growth from our international sales and our ramping OEM automotive business." Gabbay added, "Our commitment to address new channel opportunities, and to continue focus on operational efficiencies produced overall gross margin and net income improvements as compared to the corresponding periods a year ago. Our balance sheet remains strong, reflecting our efficient use of resources. In short, the continued employment of this coordinated business approach across all facets of our organization will enable Boston to achieve future sales growth." Boston Acoustics, Inc. provides audio solutions for home entertainment, automobiles and personal computers. Founded in 1979, Boston Acoustics is located in Peabody, Massachusetts.
