IEC Announces Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2013
Newark, NY – February 5, 2013 – IEC Electronics Corp. (NYSE MKT: IEC) announced its unaudited results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ending December 28, 2012.
The Company reported revenue of $33.0 million for the quarter and net income of $239 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share. This compares to revenue in the prior year first quarter of $33.9 million and net income of $948 thousand, or $0.09 per diluted share, of which $571 thousand of the net income, or $0.06 per diluted share was associated with the clawback arising from our Southern California Braiding acquisition in December of 2010.
W. Barry Gilbert, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, “Q1 of 2013 was disappointing. Entering the quarter we expected to exceed our 1Q fiscal 2012 and our 4Q fiscal 2012 performance, despite a shifting mix of business and softening demand from some of our industrial customers. At the time, we expected that some new programs, which were ramping up, would absorb much of the envisioned shortfall.
“As the quarter progressed, the forecasted customer softness did occur. Additionally, we also experienced an unexpected, major technical delay in one of our new customer product ramps. We worked with our customer to resolve the design/manufacturing problems and expect to recover the lost volume and likely exceed our expectations over the balance of the year. With the technical issues now resolved, we anticipate that this customer’s project will advance as planned and we believe this customer will become a formidable partner for the company moving forward.
“Our operations in the western half of the United States, which primarily support our military and aerospace customers, did quite well in comparison to both last quarter and to Q1 of the previous year. However, the increase was not enough to offset the shortfall at our Newark facility.
"As previously announced, I have lowered my sales growth forecast range for fiscal 2013 to 6% to 9% from 9% to 14%. Some of our key Industrial customers who saw strong international demand for their products last year are experiencing a softening in demand this year. We do not see this changing anytime soon. However, we do anticipate an increase in demand from our military and aerospace customers. Beyond advancing some existing orders and replacing those orders with new orders, we have won some unannounced programs and are in the final stages of securing other important programs. These are programs we expect to last for many years.
“Two weeks ago we were pleased to announce the refinancing of our variable interest rate debt with M&T (Manufacturers and Traders Bank) into long-term fixed rate debt. We received excellent rates for a ten-year, long-term swap and nine-year term debt. We appreciate M&T’s confidence in us. We have substantially reduced our debt since the SCB acquisition two years ago and have brought it to a level that made sense for us to fix our rates for the long term. Having said that, our debt increased in Q1 of 2013 as a result of the weaker sales and the build up of inventory. We expect this to come into line over the next couple of quarters.
“In conclusion, we had a difficult quarter, and periodically that will happen. Our perspective has not changed and we view our future to be quite bright. That said it does not diminish our, nor your, disappointment in this past quarter’s performance. My priority item, beyond continued company growth, is to bring our gross profit percentage back to the appropriate level of 19% and restore our operating profit to 9%.”
