INTRICON REPORTS 2012 SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS
All Business Lines Deliver Sales Gains
ARDEN HILLS, Minn. — Aug. 2, 2012 — IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
For the 2012 second quarter, the company reported net sales of $15.8 million, an increase of 13.7 percent from the prior-year period. IntriCon had a net loss of $82,000, $0.01 per diluted share, improved from a net loss of $294,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the 2011 second quarter.
“We’re pleased with the top-line and bottom-line progress we made year over year,” said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. “All of our businesses reported sales gains in the second quarter. Profitability remains a priority, and we’re looking to balance that with support costs for our new initiatives as well as ramping up our Indonesian facility.”
Second-quarter hearing health sales rose 17.3 percent over the prior year, primarily driven by IntriCon’s sales to hi HealthInnovations, a UnitedHealth Group Company, and other key hearing health customers. Medical sales improved 7.2 percent from the 2011 second quarter, benefiting from higher sales to leading medical customers including Medtronic. Professional audio communications sales grew 19.7 percent as demand increased for securities products domestically and headset products internationally.
As a percentage of 2012 second-quarter sales, healthcare-related revenue (hearing health and medical combined) totaled 78.2 percent (39.2 percent hearing health and 39.0 percent medical), with professional audio communications at 21.8 percent. This compares to 2011 healthcare-related revenue of 79.3 percent (37.9 percent hearing health and 41.4 percent medical), with professional audio communications at 20.7 percent.
Gross profits in the 2012 second quarter rose to 23.2 percent from 22.7 percent in the prior-year second quarter. The gain chiefly stemmed from the significant increase in volume, partially offset by increased manufacturing infrastructure costs in Singapore and Indonesia.

Six-Month Results
For the 2012 six-month period, IntriCon reported net sales of $32.4 million and net income of $161,000, or $0.03 per diluted share. This is up from 2011 net sales of $27.7 million and a net loss of $584,000, or $0.10 per diluted share.
Hearing health sales rose 28.6 percent over the prior-year six months, with medical and professional audio up 9.9 percent and 8.4 percent, respectively. Gains were driven by the second-quarter factors detailed above.
As a percentage of 2012 six-month sales, healthcare-related revenue (hearing health and medical combined) totaled 80.6 percent (42.6 percent hearing health and 38.0 percent medical), with professional audio communications at 19.4 percent. This compares to 2011 healthcare-related revenue of 79.0 percent (38.7 percent hearing health and 40.3 percent medical), with professional audio communications at 21.0 percent.
Gross profits for the 2012 six months were 24.2 percent, up from 22.5 percent in the prior-year period, again primarily due to volume increases, partially offset by increased manufacturing infrastructure in Singapore and Indonesia.
hi HealthInnovations
During the 2012 first and second quarters, IntriCon began shipping product for the hi HealthInnovations hearing aid program.
According to Gorder, “Right now, we’ve satisfied hi HealthInnovations’ initial product ramp-up needs for 2012. In the near-term, we expect minimal new orders, however, we continue to be optimistic about the long-term prospects of this program and expect significant shipments in 2013. We continue to support hi HealthInnovations in building the infrastructure to provide high quality, affordable hearing healthcare to their customers. We believe this will position hi HealthInnovations to aggressively expand this program to their customer base.”
Business Update
In hearing health, IntriCon’s technically advanced product line with innovative digital signal processing (DSP) circuits, including its nanoDSP, Overtus™ DSP Amplifier, and complete systems such as APT™ and Lumen™, continues to generate new opportunities. While the current market conditions are soft, IntriCon believes its technical advances will contribute to future growth as this market rebounds.

Within its medical business, the company delivered its sixth consecutive quarter of sequential growth, driven by key medical accounts such as Medtronic. Said Gorder, “We continue to see a shift to small and lightweight, advanced body-worn medical devices. This allows companies to reduce their costs by moving the point of care from more expensive settings, like hospitals and clinics, to less expensive ones, such as the home or Internet. This capability also meets the growing demand to connect patients and caregivers in non-traditional ways.”
IntriCon continues to incorporate the company’s two wireless cardiac diagnostic monitoring devices—Centauri™ and Sirona™—into the customized software packages of future customers. The company recently delivered Centauri and Sirona demo units to targeted customers and anticipates these products will generate revenue in the fourth quarter.
On the professional audio front, IntriCon began delivery on a significant contract with the Singapore government, providing technically advanced headsets to be worn in difficult listening environments. This contract will run through the end of 2012. In addition, the company continues to see steady growth in its securities business.
During the second quarter, IntriCon continued the ramp-up of its Indonesian manufacturing facility, while receiving its ISO9001 certification. The location provides low-cost manufacturing options to drive ongoing margin improvement and pursue additional high-volume manufacturing opportunities.
Looking Ahead
Concluded Gorder, “We are intently focused on our goals for 2012: developing new core technologies while enhancing existing ones; securing additional market-changing relationships with leaders in the healthcare industry; expanding and driving efficiencies at our international manufacturing facilities; and driving profitability. Though we’ll face challenges going forward, we’re pleased with the progress that we’ve made.
“Near term, we anticipate some sluggishness in hearing health, however, this will be partially offset by continued gains in medical and professional audio. We remain confident in our long-term prospects as key initiatives expand and gain further traction.”
