FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTRICON REPORTS 2010 FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS  

2010 Revenues Grow 14 Percent from Prior Year

ARDEN HILLS, Minn. — Feb. 17, 2011 — IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.

For the fourth quarter, the company reported net sales of $14.5 million, an increase of 2 percent from net sales of $14.2 million for the prior-year period. The company reported a net loss in the 2010 fourth quarter of $169,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, a marked improvement from a net loss of $1.6 million, $0.29 per diluted share, for the year-ago period. Included in the prior- year results was a loss from discontinued operations of $1.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.

 “As we emerge from one of the most challenging economic periods in recent history, we continue to make strides both financially and strategically. In 2010, we drove top- and bottom-line improvement, while positioning the company for long-term growth,” said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. “Our bottom-line improvement came even as we increased investments in research and development, which were up $1.1 million, or 34 percent, over the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, research and development was 7.6 percent in 2010, versus 6.5 percent in 2009. In addition, we receive a significant amount of grant funding that contributes to the research and development of core technologies, such as our PhysioLink™ wireless technology.” 

Fourth-Quarter Results

For the fourth quarter, IntriCon experienced double-digit growth in both hearing health and professional audio communications. As anticipated, medical was down from the year-earlier fourth quarter. During 2010, several large medical customers experienced temporary fluctuations in demand and entered the fourth quarter with inventory levels above their immediate needs. IntriCon continues to maintain strong relationships with its medical OEM customers. The company believes the fourth-quarter pause in medical orders was temporary and anticipates more normalized order patterns in the first half of 2011. As a percentage of total fourth-quarter revenue, the medical business contributed 36 percent, with hearing health and professional audio communications contributing 40 percent and 24 percent, respectively.

Said Gorder, “We are encouraged by the rebound in our professional audio communications and hearing health markets, with net sales increasing more than 25 percent and 18 percent, respectively, over the year-ago period.” The professional audio communications gain was primarily due to higher sales of headset devices to existing customers and communication devices to government agencies. These customers continue to demand smaller and more durable products that perform well in noisy or hazardous environments.

Driving the hearing health increase was the continued overall rebound in the hearing aid market, coupled with pent-up demand. IntriCon believes that the introduction and acceptance of recently released products, such as the company’s new hybrid Overtus™ DSP amplifier, will lead to significant future growth.

Gross profits in the 2010 fourth quarter were 24.1 percent, down slightly from 25.2 percent in the year-ago period, primarily due to sales mix.

Full-year Results

For 2010, IntriCon reported net sales of $58.7 million and net income of $361,000, or $0.07 per diluted share. This was up from 2009 net sales of $51.7 million and a net loss of $3.9 million, or $0.73 per diluted share. Included in the 2009 results were Datrix-related acquisition costs and bank financing charges of $561,000, or $0.10 per diluted share. 2010 income from continuing operations was $665,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to a 2009 loss from continuing operations of $1.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share.

IntriCon’s medical business represented 42 percent of total revenue in 2010, with hearing health and professional audio communications contributing 36 percent and 22 percent, respectively. This compares to 2009 levels of 44 percent, 36 percent and 20 percent for medical, hearing health and professional audio communications, respectively.

Gross profits for 2010 were 25.6 percent, up from 21.4 percent in 2009. Gains were driven by higher sales volumes, increased use of proprietary technology in products—which generates higher margins—and the impact of profit enhancement programs, including production transfers to lower-cost manufacturing facilities and the ongoing rollout of lean manufacturing programs.

Key Milestones

Recently, IntriCon launched its all-new, patent-pending APT™ Open in-the-canal (ITC) hearing aid. Previewed at the European Hearing Aid Acousticians conference in October 2010, and now available to OEM customers worldwide, APT is a complete, technically advanced hearing aid. 

APT is powered by IntriCon’s Overtus DSP amplifier and features the company’s Reliant CLEAR™ adaptive feedback canceller and the AcousTAP ™ acoustic push button. Reliant CLEAR is the latest in feedback cancellation, offering added stable gain and faster reaction time. The AcousTAP Switch changes user programs when the ear is patted, which eliminates the physical push button, saving size and cost.

Said Gorder, “We’re committed to developing hearing aid products that bring proprietary enhancements to the marketplace. Research has shown that there are considerable negative social, psychological, cognitive and health effects associated with untreated hearing loss. The Overtus DSP Amplifier offers an effective means to address this condition—it’s a technology-driven amplifier that delivers the latest advances in hearing aid digital signal processing.”

IntriCon is in the process of finalizing development of its PhysioLink wireless technology, which will be incorporated into products in the medical, hearing health and professional audio communication markets. PhysioLink enables audio and data streaming to ear-worn and body-worn applications over distances of up to five meters. The first product platform which will incorporate the PhysioLink will be Sirona, the company’s second generation wireless cardiac diagnostic monitoring (CDM) device.

Future devices that will incorporate PhysioLink technology include IntriCon’s situational listening device (SLD) product platform. SLDs help hearing-impaired people in noisy environments, allowing them to listen to television, music and direct broadcast by wireless connection. SLDs supplement conventional hearing aids that don’t handle noisy situations well. The company anticipates conducting market trials of its SLD platform in the second half of 2011.

In the medical arena, IntriCon continues to make progress on the Centauri CDM device. The company anticipates FDA approval in the second half of 2011, with the product available for sale in late 2011.  

Said Gorder, “We made significant progress during the year in: developing our core technologies across multiple product platforms; launching new devices; and continuing to run an efficient organization. As we enter 2011, we remain focused on building on these initiatives.

“From a customer standpoint, we are concentrating our resources and capital on our strengths: making body-worn devices smaller, smarter and more effective. We’re doing so by accelerating the development of proprietary core technologies. This strategy centers on continued prudent investments in new initiatives that we believe will fuel long-term growth.

“As a business, our primary goals are to build revenue, improve margins and grow our bottom line. We will do so by: raising the percentage of proprietary IntriCon technology we incorporate in our products; driving higher sales volumes; and increasing our low-cost manufacturing footprint.”
