MOCON Reports Second Quarter Results

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, August 5, 2015 – MOCON, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOCO), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Commenting on the Company’s performance, MOCON’s president and CEO, Robert L. Demorest said, “As we experienced in the first quarter, we continue to be challenged by the soft oil and gas market and by the strong dollar. On a Constant Currency basis, our second quarter revenue grew 5 percent and our Permeation and Package Testing business segments both continue to meet our growth expectations. The Industrial Analyzer and Other segment has experienced success in environmental monitoring and beverage safety markets, which has been offset by softening in the oil and gas sector. For example, in the second quarter, we recorded $1.2 million less in revenue from oil and gas than we did in the second quarter of 2014, which negatively impacted our overall reported revenue growth by nearly 8 percentage points. We are well positioned in the markets we serve and look forward to the continued strengthening of our overall financial performance when general macro-economic factors improve. In the meantime, we are appropriately managing expenses.”

2015 Revenue and Earnings Summary

Second quarter 2015 results compared to second quarter 2014:

Six months ended June 30, 2015 results compared to the year ago six month period:

Revenue by Segment ($ in thousands)

Revenue from the Package Testing segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 increased 3 percent and 10 percent, respectively, on a Constant Currency basis and decreased 12 percent and 5 percent, respectively, as reported due to an increase in headspace and mixer products and accessories. The year-to-date growth rate in Package Testing is a better indicator of performance than the second quarter on a stand-alone basis due to the timing of revenue recognition in 2014. The first quarter 2014 revenue was impacted by a warranty issue that was resolved in the second quarter of the same year at which time the first quarter backlog shipped.

Revenue growth for the Permeation segment for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 was 22 percent and 15 percent, respectively, on a Constant Currency basis and 18 percent and 11 percent, respectively, as reported. The current year growth is attributable to an increase in demand in the USA for the new generation of oxygen permeation instrumentation, which was introduced to the marketplace during the second half of 2014.

The 18 percent and 15 percent year-over-year revenue decline in the Industrial Analyzer and Other segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was attributable to an 85 percent and 80 percent decline, respectively, in revenue from the oil and gas market. This decline is offset in part by increases in other markets including sales of environmental monitoring products into Taiwan and BevAlert systems into India and Pakistan.

Gross Profit, Operating Expenses and Other Income Commentary

Gross profit was 53 percent and 54 percent of revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared to 56 percent and 55 percent of revenue for the same periods in 2014, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin rate is driven primarily by reduced volume in Industrial Analyzer and Other segment revenue which provides a lower basis to absorb the semi-variable and fixed production related costs, production ramp up costs associated with the recently introduced next generation Permeation products, and increased cost for products produced in the USA and sold in euros.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly lower during the second quarter and first six months of 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 due primarily to favorable foreign exchange rates offset by the cost of the Company’s initiative to reduce the number of legal entities. Research and development expenses grew slightly as we continue to invest in next generation product offerings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

MOCON’s management evaluates its financial results on a constant currency basis which is calculated by adjusting the current period reported revenue to the comparative period’s currency translation rate (“Constant Currency”) and believes that investors may want to consider this impact on the Company’s performance. In addition, MOCON supplements its financial statements to provide investors with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and EBITDA plus share-based compensation and foreign currency transactional losses (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which are not calculated in accordance with general accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

MOCON believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to the Company’s Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to its financial condition and operating performance. MOCON’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes In addition, revenue on a Constant Currency basis is used to assess the revenue growth component of MOCON’s Incentive Pay Plan.

The method MOCON uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. MOCON urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release.
