PHAZAR CORP Announces Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

MINERAL WELLS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2011--PHAZAR CORP, (Nasdaq: ANTP) announced today the unaudited results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2011

Revenues for the quarter at $1,991,678 were relatively flat compared to $2,003,995 for the recast third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Prior year’s numbers are recast to reflect the change in our fiscal year end to June 30th from May 31st.

The gross profit margin for the quarter, at 36% is down 12 percentage points from the 48% gross margin reported in the comparable period last year. Start up expenses related to new tower designs for a customer order along with continued increase in plant utilization overhead on lower throughput were the primary factors in the decline.

Sales and administrative expenses were down 29% to $707,997 from $993,975 in the prior year, reflecting continued increase in plant utilization overhead on lower throughput and lower wages in both Engineering and Marketing Departments. Research and development costs of $94,574 were also down $101,358 or 52% from $195,932 last year.

On January 4, 2011, the Company announced that after a thorough review of the progress and status of the True Mesh Network Radio program the Board of Directors concluded that commercial viability and profitability was unlikely to be achievable in the foreseeable future and voted to discontinue further development. As a result, the Company has recorded a charge of $478,361 for discontinued operations, net of tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

The Company recognized a net loss of $550,841, or $0.24 per share for the third quarter, compared to a net loss of $123,821, or $0.05 per share, in last year’s fiscal third quarter.

The continuing budget struggles in Congress would appear to have impacted our federal governmental sales and incoming orders. We have clearly seen a subdued level of bid opportunities in recent months. And severe weather, particularly on the eastern seaboard, negatively impacted and delayed commercial orders and activity in January and February.

Nine Month Period Ending March 31, 2011

The Company reported revenues for the nine-month period of $6,849,510, an increase of $832,818, or 14% compared to $6,016,692 for the comparable recast period last year. Net loss for the nine-month period was $274,456, or $0.12 per share compared to a net loss of $411,315, or $0.18 per share for the comparable period last year.

Backlog of Orders

The Company’s backlog of orders on March 31, 2011, totaled $1,985,379 up 26% compared to backlog of $1,575,399 at March 31, 2010 and down 31% from May 31, 2010.
