CSP Inc. Reports Second-Quarter Fiscal 2017 Financial Results
Lowell, MA, May 24, 2017 - CSP Inc. (NASDAQ: CSPI), a provider of IT solutions and high-performance Ethernet products for diverse applications, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 ended March 31, 2017.
The Company also announced that its board of directors has voted to pay its quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share to shareholders of record June 1, 2017 payable June 15, 2017.
Management Comments
“We are pleased to say that the second quarter results continue to demonstrate positive progress on our growth strategy,” said Chief Executive Officer Victor Dellovo. “Cross-selling efforts between our Technology Solution geographies, as well as across High Performance Products and Technology Solutions continue to gain traction. Our managed services pipeline, in the U.S. and Europe, is growing, and we are taking actions to capitalize on the rapidly growing global security market. From a financial perspective, second-quarter sales were down 6.7%, primarily due to the timing of shipments at our U.S. business in the Technology Solutions division. However, year over year growth was achieved across our U.K. and Germany Technology Solutions businesses.
“In High Performance Products, product development is focused on solutions to assist companies in the protection of their most critical business data, as well as rapid incident response as a result of a cyber-attack. Our recently announced Myricom nVoy Solutions have received positive feedback from customers and industry analysts. In addition, our next-generation security products are already receiving accolades, which include CSPi’s selection as an Innovative Security Provider by Leading Lights. To support our increased focus on security, we are executing on initiatives in engineering, marketing and sales to strengthen HPP positioning as a security solutions provider. We received royalty revenues from two E-2D planes in the second quarter, and our expectation is to receive royalties from two planes in Q3 and one additional plane in the fourth quarter.
“In Technology Solutions, strong performance in Germany and the U.K., was more than offset by weakness in the U.S. While timing of shipments affected revenues in the U.S., our managed services pipeline remains robust, we are closing managed services deals at a greater frequency and the recurring revenue stream is increasing. There is also great interest in the Myricom nVoy Solutions as part of our security managed service offerings. We are continuing to hire engineers in the U.S. to support future growth.
“Looking forward, we are expecting solid performance in the third quarter on both the top and bottom lines given our backlog in both divisions and our cost-control efforts. Longer term, we are making very good progress against our strategic initiatives and are positioning CSPi to capitalize on many growth opportunities,” concluded Dellovo.

Financial Results
For the second quarter of fiscal 2017, revenue was $25.3 million compared with $27.1 million in the second quarter a year ago.
Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased to 22.5% from 23.3% for the prior-year period due to the reduction in margin on the Technology Solutions business from lower product margins.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $428,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with net income of $503,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
Cash and short-term investments decreased to $11.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2017 from $13.1 million at year end primarily due to increased accounts receivable at the end of the quarter with extended terms combined with other changes in working capital.
