PRESS RELEASE

InfoSonics Reports First Quarter 2016 Results

SAN DIEGO, May 5, 2016 – InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), the provider of verykool® wireless handset solutions and tablets, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

“Although the first quarter was challenging, we see positive improvement ahead,” said Joseph Ram, President and CEO of InfoSonics. “More consumers, especially in our target Latin American markets, are recognizing the value of budget smartphones from alternate non-brand name suppliers. In addition, the currency pressure we experienced over the last couple of years against the U.S. Dollar appears to have peaked during the quarter and has eased somewhat since then, thereby improving the affordability of our smartphone products. Although we are making progress in expanding our customer base both with carrier and retail customers, the first quarter was seasonally weak and the pricing environment was extremely competitive. During the quarter we worked diligently to clear some of our older inventory at lower margins so we can refresh our product lineup for coming quarters. As product life cycles shorten, our focus is on operational efficiencies through improved production cycles and better inventory management. This should help us increase inventory turns and improve liquidity.”

We had net sales for the 2016 first quarter of $9.4 million, which represented a $5.1 million, or 35%, decrease from $14.5 million for the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction of sales to a carrier customer in South America and the Caribbean and soft sales to big box retailers. Unit shipments during the quarter declined by 44% versus the comparable period in 2015, while the average selling price per unit rose 16%, reflecting our focus on selling more smartphones in the retail channel.

Gross profit in the 2016 first quarter was $1.2 million, a 54% decrease compared to $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2015. Our gross profit margin as a percent of sales in the 2016 first quarter declined to 12.5% compared to 17.6% for the comparable period in 2015.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2016 were $1.9 million, flat with the expense level in the 2015 first quarter. Decreased sales commissions and marketing expenses were offset by increased legal fees, certification and other general and administrative expenses. Also in the first quarter of 2016, other expense of $165,000 consisted primarily of losses on forward exchange contracts to hedge currency exposure against the Mexican Peso.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was $903,000, $0.06 per share, compared to net income of $532,000, $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2015.

At March 31, 2016, we had $438,000 in cash, $12.6 million of net working capital and no outstanding funded debt.
