PRESS RELEASE

InfoSonics Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results

SAN DIEGO, November 14, 2012 – InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), a provider of wireless handset solutions serving Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

“This was a very challenging quarter characterized by softness in many of our core markets,” said Joseph Ram, president and CEO of InfoSonics. “Many of our carrier and open market customers reported soft consumer sales which in turn resulted in a slowing of orders to us as those customers worked to minimize their inventory levels and delayed orders until the fourth quarter.”

Commenting further on the results, Mr. Ram noted, “Despite the softness in this quarter, we remain confident in our strategy. We have four new smartphones under development planned for launch in the coming quarter to address the market shift that is in progress. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2012, sales of our verykool® products are up 78% over the same period last year, our gross profit is up 86% for that same period and we have invested more in marketing to elevate our brand. In addition, based on the progress of shipments and customer orders during the current quarter, we believe that sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 should rebound from their third quarter levels.”

InfoSonics reported net sales for the third quarter of 2012 of $5.4 million, which represented a $1.8 million, or 25%, decline from $7.2 million for the third quarter of 2011. The primary reason for the decline was the absence of low-margin Samsung distribution sales in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1.2 million in distribution sales in the third quarter of 2011. The Company transitioned away from this low-margin business in March 2012. The Company noted that although sales of verykool® products declined by $0.6 million, or 10%, unit shipments increased 22% during the quarter. The average selling price per unit declined 26% as a result of a shift in product mix to lower-end products and more aggressive pricing during the quarter. Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $25.8 million, which represented a $2.9 million, or 13%, increase from $23.0 million for the same period of 2011. During the nine month period, net sales of verykool® products grew by $10.1 million, or 78%, offset partially by a $7.2 million decline in distribution sales.

Gross profit margin as a percent of sales in the third quarter of 2012 improved to 21.2% compared to 17.0% in the 2011 third quarter, primarily as a result of the absence of low-margin distribution sales in the 2012 third quarter. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2012 was $1.1 million, a 6% decline from $1.2 million in the 2011 third quarter. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $5.5 million, a $2.5 million, or 86%, increase from $2.9 million for the same period of 2011. During the nine month period, the gross profit margin as a percent of sales improved to 21.1% from 12.8% in the prior year period, also reflecting the significant decline in low-margin distribution sales during the period.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2012 were $2.3 million, an increase of 42% compared to $1.6 million in the 2011 third quarter. This reflects a 44% increase in SG&A expenses primarily attributable to increases in marketing, the Company’s annual sales meeting and increased compensation expense for new employees and contractors. In addition, R&D expenses rose by 37% primarily as a result of expansion of the Company’s China-based development team. For similar reasons, operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $6.8 million, a 33% increase from $5.1 million for the same period of 2011.

The net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $1.2 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $413,000, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter of 2011. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 declined to $1.3 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.15 per share, for the same period of 2011.


At September 30, 2012, the Company had $10.3 million in cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, $17.3 million of net working capital and no outstanding indebtedness. Cash balances declined by $1.2 million compared to the June 30, 2012 balances primarily as a result of the loss for the quarter. An increase in inventories and reduction of payables and accruals was offset by reductions in accounts receivable and prepaid inventory deposits.
