Socket Mobile Reports Positive EBITDA
and Revenue of $4.4 Million for Q211
Q2 revenue up 8 percent sequentially and up 19
percent year-over-year
NEWARK, Calif., - July 26, 2011 - Socket Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), an innovative provider of mobile productivity products, today reported financial results for the 2011 second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $4.4 million, up 19 percent compared to revenue of $3.7 million for the same quarter a year ago and up 8 percent compared to $4.0 million in the immediately preceding quarter. Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 improved to $392,000, or a loss of $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $575,000, or a loss of $0.15 per share, in the second quarter of 2010 and a net loss of $928,000, or $0.24 per share, in the immediately preceding quarter.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the second quarter of 2011 was $73,000, or $0.02 per share, compared to an EBITDA net loss of $234,000, or $0.06 per share, in the second quarter of 2010 and an EBITDA net loss of $295,000, or $0.07 per share, in the immediately preceding quarter.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $2.0 million, flat compared to operating expenses of $2.0 million for the same quarter a year ago, and a decrease of 3 percent compared to operating expenses of $2.1 million in the immediately preceding quarter.
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were approximately $1.0 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $0.8 million at March 31, 2011 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2010.
Kevin Mills, president and chief executive officer, commented, "We achieved positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and continued sequential revenue growth in the second quarter, reflecting our continued progress in growing sales and reducing operating expenses. Shipments of our handheld computers increased by more than 1,000 units from the first quarter, benefiting from increased supply, and we are also seeing overall demand begin to increase from Hewlett-Packard's decision to discontinue its model 200 series iPAQs around the world.
"Total orders received in the second quarter for our handheld computers and bar code scanning products grew to $5.3 million and we ended the quarter with an order backlog of $3.4 million, of which $2.6 million in orders were for handheld computers. While shipments of our handheld computers continued to be constrained by a shortage of LCD computer screens, we saw significant improvement in the second quarter and expect these shortages to be mostly resolved in the third quarter, significantly increasing our product availability.
"We recently released our software developers kit for Apple products, which we expect to contribute to sales of our cordless barcode scanners in the second half of the year. This highly versatile barcode scanning tool enables Apple developers to easily add commercial-grade rapid and robust barcode scanning capabilities to their applications for Apple devices. Our SocketScan10 software also supports applications running on operating systems from Google (Android), Research in Motion (Blackberry) and Windows/Windows Mobile. We expect to release an Apple version of our cordless hand scanner during the third quarter. We are focused on continued positive momentum and remain committed to reaching sustainable profitable operating levels," Mills concluded.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue was $8.4 million, an increase of 12 percent compared to $7.5 million in the six month period a year ago. Net loss was $1.3 million, or a loss of $0.32 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or a loss of $0.43 per share for the same period one year ago. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $4.1 million, compared to operating expenses of $4.6 million for the same period a year ago.
