Interphase Announces 2010 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results
Revenue Growth of 24% Drives Return to Profit
PLANO, Texas — February 10, 2011 — Interphase Corporation (NASDAQ: INPH), a leading global provider of solutions for converged communications networks, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010.
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 increased approximately 24% to $5.8 million when compared to $4.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. On a sequential basis, revenues increased approximately 22% from $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. Revenues in the quarter were primarily derived from broadband telecom revenues, which increased to $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Enterprise revenues increased to $552,000 compared to $161,000 on a year to year basis, while professional services revenues declined to $124,000 for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $410,000 for the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 55% compared to 37% for the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to a shift in product mix toward higher margin products, increased utilization of our manufacturing facility and reduction in obsolete inventory charges. The company reported a net income of $447,000, or $0.06 per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or ($0.57) per share in the fourth quarter of 2009.
“We are very pleased with our fourth quarter results, as they show our third consecutive quarter of sequential revenue growth,” said Gregory B. Kalush, CEO and President of Interphase. “Both revenue growth and the restructuring efforts we undertook in the third quarter contributed to our return to profitability in the fourth quarter. Although we are pleased with these results, we remain focused on our multi-tiered strategy to diversify our Company and enter new market segments that we believe can generate significant growth and fortify the future.”
For the full year of 2010, revenues decreased to $18.2 million, compared to $25.6 million for the full year of 2009. Gross margin percentage increased to 50% for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to 48% for the year ended December 31, 2009. Included in operating expenses for 2010 and 2009 were restructuring charges of $3.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Net loss for 2010 was $8.4 million, or $(1.23) per share compared to a net loss of $5.6 million, or $(0.81) per share for 2009. On December 31, 2010, the company’s working capital position was $13.1 million, including cash and marketable securities of $10.8 million.
