Giga-tronics Reports Second Quarter FY 2014 Results
San Ramon, CA – November 8, 2013 – Giga-tronics Incorporated (Nasdaq:GIGA) reported today net sales of $4.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, representing two consecutive quarters of increased sales when compared to net sales of $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The increases in net sales were primarily due to the Microsource business unit’s fulfilling scheduled product shipments associated with long-term contracts from a large aerospace company. Scheduled shipments under these contracts vary from quarter to quarter and the company anticipates lower Microsource revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2014.
Net sales for the six month period ended September 28, 2013 were $7.0 million compared to $7.5 million for the six month period ended in September 29, 2012. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the Giga-tronics division fulfilling a large order associated with the legacy SCPM switch product in the first half of fiscal 2013. The SCPM product line was then sold to Teradyne in the first month of fiscal 2014.
Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was $1.3 million, representing two consecutive quarters of increased gross margin when compared to gross margin of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The increases in gross margin were primarily due to the increase in higher margin sales from the Microsource business unit.
Gross margin for the six month period ended September 28, 2013 was $2.4 million compared to $2.9 million for the six month period ended September 29, 2012. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the Giga-tronics division having consistent fixed factory overhead costs, but lower sales in the first half of fiscal 2014 compared to the first half of fiscal 2013.
Gross margin percentages were 33% for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, 37% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and 35% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross margin percentages were 35% for the six month period ended September 28, 2013, and 39% for the six month period ended September 29, 2012. The fluctuations in gross margin are due to the product mix of Giga-tronics division sales.
Net loss for both the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 was $1.1 million, or $0.21 per fully diluted share. Net loss for both the six month period ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 were $1.8 million, or $0.35 per fully diluted share.
The Company is currently spending approximately $1.0 million to $1.1 million in research and development per quarter. The majority of these expenses are associated with the development of the new product platform that is forecasted to start shipping in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Expenses associated with the development of the new product platform including preparations for its manufacturing have significantly contributed to the losses thus far in fiscal 2014 and all of fiscal 2013. Additionally, during fiscal 2014, the Company has experienced delays in the development of this product. If the completion of the product development is delayed further beyond fiscal 2014, the Company would need to reduce expenses in order to offset the loss of forecasted revenue.
During the quarter ended September 28, 2013 Giga-tronics received initial orders of $330,000 from a large aerospace company associated with its new product platform for which shipments are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, $733,000 for design services and a production bid from the same aerospace company associated with the Microsource radar filters for a military aircraft, and $476,000 for a new Switch product from a large defense contractor that we expect to start shipping next fiscal year.
Mr. John Regazzi, the Company's CEO stated, "I'm pleased to see the two consecutive quarters of increased net sales and gross margins, due in large part to the continued progress we are making with Microsourse's long term aerospace contracts.”
Mr. Regazzi concluded, "After the substantial investment we have made in developing our new product platform, it is exciting to see tangible market acceptance with the initial order received. We believe the success of our new product platform is essential for the Company to achieve future top line growth and ultimately profitability."
Giga-tronics will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the second quarter results. To participate in the call, dial (888) 424-8151 or (847) 585-4422, and enter PIN Code 9178731#.
