RF Industries Reports First Quarter Results

 

Board of Directors Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.07 per Common Share

 

 

San Diego, California, March 17, 2015 -- RF Industries, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RFIL) today announced results for the first quarter ended January 31, 2015.

 

First Quarter Results

Sales for the fiscal first quarter of 2015 increased 18%, or $1.0 million, to $6.9 million compared to sales of $5.9 million for the same quarter last year. Net income was $65,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $265,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. First quarter 2015 results include the impact of the Company’s acquisition of Comnet Telecom Supply, Inc. Comnet’s sales were $2.2 million during the first quarter.

 

Gross profit for the first quarter was $2.5 million, or 36% of sales, compared to gross profit of $2.6 million, or 44% of sales in the same quarter last year. The decline in gross profit is related to lower margin sales from the Comnet acquisition and reduced sales at the Connector and Cable Assembly segment. Comnet’s gross margins historically have been lower than the gross margins of the Company in general because of Comnet’s focus on higher volume and lower margin sales.

 

Selling and general expenses in the first quarter increased $300,000, or 15%, to $2.3 million compared to $2.0 million in the same quarter last year, due to increased expenses associated with the acquisition of Comnet. Excluding the expenses related to Comnet, selling and general expenses declined in the first quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, as the Company reduced compensation and benefits expense by taking actions to lower headcount in fiscal 2014.

 

Johnny Walker, President and CEO said, "First quarter results, typically our seasonally weakest quarter, were buoyed by the Comnet acquisition, which improved sales and profitability for the quarter. These gains were offset by lower sales at the Connector and Cable Assembly, Medical Cabling and Cables Unlimited segments. Comnet joins Cables Unlimited to compose our Custom Cabling Manufacturing and Assembly segment, where we are focused on growth through acquisition, product development and expanding product offerings and distribution in the telecom, fiber optic and data center markets. While the industry-wide weakness in the wireless market continues to affect sales at the Connector and Cable Assembly segment, we have taken steps to lower expenses by reducing the Company’s headcount. We remain optimistic that our business will benefit from new product introductions later this year."
