Advanced Photonix, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Results

Annual Revenues Improved by 2%

ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 29, 2012--Advanced Photonix, Inc.® (NYSE Amex: API) (the “Company”) today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2012.

Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012

  • Net sales for the quarter were $6.5 million, a decrease of $1.4 million or 17% from the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2011. Sequentially, revenues were flat relative to the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
  • Net sales for the fiscal year were $29.5 million, an increase of 2% over the prior year. The increase was led by the telecommunication, homeland security and medical markets.
  • Gross profit margin for Q4 2012 was 34.2% of sales compared to 43.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Price pressures in our high-speed optical receiver (HSOR) product line prior to cost reduction efforts and lower volumes affected the rate and gross margin dollars.
  • Gross profit margin for the fiscal year 2012 was 40% relative to 43% in the prior year.
  • Current quarter net loss was $1,063,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared to a quarterly net loss of $563,000 or $0.02 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
  • Net loss for the fiscal year 2012 was $2.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share for the prior year period.
  • The Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $654,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP net income of $221,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter last year. The Company reported full-year Non-GAAP net loss of $913,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP net income of $785,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation), was a negative $416,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to positive adjusted EBITDA of $498,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. For the fiscal year 2012, the Company reported adjusted EBITDA of $257,000 as compared to an adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million for the comparable prior year period.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s total operating expenses for the quarter were $3.2 million, down 11% compared to the $3.7 million reported for the fourth quarter last year. As a percent of revenue, total operating expenses were 49.9% compared to 46.6% for the fourth quarter last year. For the year, total operating expenses were $14.5 million, or 49.2% of revenue, compared to $13.2 million, or 45.7% of revenue last year.

Balance Sheet

The Company finished the year with $3.2 million in cash compared to $4.7 million as of March 31, 2011 as the Company de-levered by paying down $1.4 million in debt. Working capital as of March 31, 2012 was $7.5 million and the Company reported a current ratio of 2.8 to 1.

Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The two major natural disasters in Japan and Thailand had a significant effect on our results this last year slowing our growth to 2%. The tsunami in Japan limited our supply from a key vendor which restricted our first half growth on our 100G HSOR products. The flooding in Thailand did not impact our supply chain directly but did severely impact our customers which resulted in a drop in our telecommunication revenues in the last half of fiscal 2012. We see increasing signs of significant pent up demand in the telecommunications market and increasing adoption of our T-Ray® products that lead us to believe that revenues in the second half of our fiscal 2013 should be approximately 35% higher than the first half, assuming our supply chain can respond accordingly. This coming year we look forward to a more normal business environment and continued growth.”
