ADDvantage Technologies Announces Results for Fiscal 2011 Third Quarter
- - -
Third quarter 2011 total revenue of $8.7 million and net income of $0.05 per diluted share
- - -
Implemented Growth Strategy through Strategic Acquisition of AGC
BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, August 9, 2011 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AEY), today announced its results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2011.
Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was $8.7 million compared to $13.3 million in the same period a year ago. Equipment sales were negatively impacted by several factors including the continued economic downturn in the cable television industry as MSO customers continue to conserve cash and limit capital expenditures and the negative impact of the Cisco agreement. Sales of new equipment were $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net refurbished equipment sales were $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $2.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease in refurbished equipment sales was primarily due to a decrease in sales of digital converter boxes of $0.2 million, as well as the factors discussed above. Service revenue was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $1.4 million for the same period last year. This decline was primarily attributable to the closure of the Tulsat-West facility in the fiscal first quarter of 2011.
Net income attributable to common shareholders in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $0.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, as compared to $1.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, revenue decreased to $26.8 million from $35.6 million, for the same period last year.
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine month period was $1.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared to $3.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
In May 2011, the Company acquired the net operating assets of Adams Global Communications, LLC (“AGC”), a purchaser and seller of cable television access and transport equipment, digital converter boxes and modems in the U.S., Canada and Latin American markets. AGC has a strategic reseller agreement for the U.S. with Arris Solutions, one of the nations’ largest OEMs of cable equipment. Upon closing the AGC acquisition, ADDvantage also started marketing one of its existing subsidiaries, Broadband Remarketing International, LLC (“BRI”), under Adams Global Communications or AGC.
Ken Chymiak, President and CEO, commented, “The third quarter of fiscal 2011 continued the trends we have seen over the past few quarters. We maintained relatively strong gross margins of approximately
30% and reported a positive net income of approximately $0.5 million. During the quarter, we continued to experience a decline in our total revenue, primarily due to several factors, including the prolonged economic downturn in the cable television industry. As we have mentioned in the past, our large and small MSO customers continue to limit capital expenditures on plant expansion projects and bandwidth upgrades in an effort to conserve cash, and we cannot predict when these MSOs will return capital expenditures to pre-recession levels. In addition, the reseller contract Tulsat signed with Cisco in December, 2010, continues to impact our business by limiting our ability to sell to certain customers.
“During the quarter we executed upon a key element of our growth strategy, with the acquisition of AGC. The addition of AGC provides additional scale within our core business as well as significant growth opportunities through new customers and its OEM reseller agreement with Arris Solutions.
“Our cash position remains strong, at $12.0 million as of June 30, 2011, compared to $8.7 million as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2011. This is a reflection of the positive cash flow we are generating as a result of our profitable operations and from the continued reduction in the level of our inventory,” concluded Mr. Chymiak.
