INTRICON REPORTS 2016 SECOND-QUARTER RESULTS

Hearing Health Revenue Up Over Prior Year

ARDEN HILLS, Minn. — August 2, 2016 — 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, 2016.

Highlights:

• Net sales of $17.0 million were consistent with the prior-year period;
• The company’s value hearing health initiatives delivered year-over-year growth;
• IntriCon’s equity offering in May 2016 raised net proceeds of $3.7 million, providing additional financial flexibility; and,
• The company amended its credit facilities with The PrivateBank in April 2016, obtaining additional liquidity.

Financial Results

For the 2016 second quarter, the company reported net sales of $17.0 million, compared to $17.1 million in the prior-year period. IntriCon posted a net loss attributable to IntriCon shareholders of $1,490,000, or $0.23 per share, versus net income attributable to IntriCon shareholders of $506,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the 2015 second quarter. The results were in line with IntriCon’s June 30, 2016, pre-release and reflect a timing shift in orders from its largest medical customer.

“While we are far from pleased with our second-quarter performance, we continue to make progress building the infrastructure required to secure high-potential growth opportunities in value hearing health, and the long-term outlook for our business remains healthy,” said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. “The $3.7 million in net proceeds we raised in the quarter through a public stock offering is an important step in advancing our future plans. And we are aggressively pursuing alternative distribution models and partnerships within the value hearing health market to drive shareholder value.”

Gross profit margins were 22.8 percent compared to 26.8 percent in the prior-year second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a less favorable sales mix and slightly increased overhead.

Operating expenses for the second-quarter were $5.0 million, compared to $3.9 million in the prior-year second quarter. The increase was largely due to the inclusion of PC Werth, acquired by IntriCon UK in November 2015, and higher research and development investments to support value hearing health initiatives.

Business Update

Hearing health sales increased 7 percent during the second quarter from the prior-year quarter, primarily as a result of contributions from PC Werth. During the quarter, IntriCon experienced gains in value hearing aids, personal sound amplifier products (PSAP) and assisted listening devices. These were partially offset by anticipated decreases in conventional channel sales. For some time, IntriCon has focused on opportunities in value hearing health versus the conventional channel.

Over the past 12 months several institutions including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) and most recently, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicines (NASEM), have recognized that untreated hearing loss in the United States is a substantial national problem. High device costs and inadequate innovation in distribution channels are creating significant barriers to access for most Americans. Each institution, individually, has released statements indicating their support for improving hearing health access and affordability for consumers, thereby improving market penetration.

“As a company, we are aligned with the FDA, PCAST and NASEM efforts to overcome barriers to device access and spur development and innovation in cost-effective technology,” said Gorder. “All of these pivotal events point to a groundswell for fundamental change. They highlight the need for an outcomes-based hearing healthcare model in which the best value-added devices and software technology are combined with varying levels of practitioner intervention, to provide the most efficient, lowest cost solution, to consumers across the country.”

The company’s recent initiative to improve affordability in the U.S. market was providing the independent audiologist the best value-added devices at the best price, by establishing earVenture, a joint venture with the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA). While earVenture has not yet generated significant revenue, it is an important strategic element in IntriCon’s approach. Over 450 ADA members have registered to join the earVenture program. earVenture is focused on sales and marketing efforts to convert those members into consistent customers, as well as solicit non-registered ADA members to join.

In the United Kingdom, IntriCon’s integration plan for PC Werth is proceeding on schedule. Over the last several months IntriCon has delivered initial devices to targeted National Health Service (NHS) clinics, with positive feedback. The company is directing sales and marketing efforts at additional clinics during the second half of the year.

“The ADA and NHS leadership have embraced our offering, which is a groundbreaking first step in advancing our value-based model,” said Gorder. “In order to drive meaningful growth in both of these markets, we must focus our efforts on marketing to and educating the practitioner.”

Lastly, the company is also aggressively exploring initiatives to expand its offering into alternative distribution channels that require less practitioner intervention. These models have demonstrated the ability to scale more quickly than efforts into traditional channels.

Sales in IntriCon’s medical business decreased 4 percent in the 2016 second quarter, primarily driven by IntriCon’s largest customer, Medtronic. Sales to Medtronic were lower as they manage the transition of their pending FDA product approval and launch for the MiniMed 630G system. Long-term, IntriCon believes it’s well positioned for growth with Medtronic. In addition to the MiniMed 630G system, IntriCon is also designed into the MiniMed 670G system which was recently submitted to the FDA for Premarket Approval.

Second-quarter 2016 professional audio communication sales declined 5 percent from the prior-year period. IntriCon anticipates second half 2016 revenue in this business to be flat with the prior-year comparable period. The company is working on several opportunities that management believes will provide modest revenue growth in 2017.

While lower revenue levels are expected to be temporary, IntriCon has taken measured actions to reduce operating expenses. These reductions, which will not impact the company’s ability to execute strategic initiatives, should result in approximately $600,000 in annual savings. The majority of the savings will begin to be realized in the 2016 fourth quarter.

Looking Ahead

Concluded Gorder, “While I am disappointed we experienced a timing issue that had an adverse impact on our second-quarter results, I am excited about the direction we are headed. I believe our value proposition is a compelling one. Our position with Medtronic has never been stronger, our technology pipeline – including advancements of wireless connective and self-fitting hearing aid software – is robust, and the need for disruptive hearing health channels is high. We are committed to accelerating targeted investments that best position the company for long-term success in the value hearing health and medical biotelemetry markets. Based on information currently available, we anticipate third-quarter net sales to be consistent with 2016 second-quarter levels, with a notably smaller net loss. Additionally, we anticipate fourth-quarter net sales at levels that will achieve profitability.
