Zoom Telephonics Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results
 
Revenue of $12.0M, the Highest Quarterly Revenue for Zoom Telephonics (OTCQB: ZMTP) to Date
 
Boston, MA, November 12, 2020 – Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (“Zoom”) (OTCQB: ZMTP), the creator of leading cable modems and other Internet access products under the exclusively licensed Motorola® brand, reported financial results for its 2020 third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
 
Net revenue of $12.0M, the highest quarterly revenue for ZMTP to date, representing an 11% increase compared to the same quarter in 2019, and a 17% increase sequentially from Q2 2020.
 
GAAP Operating Loss of ($332k), or -2.8% of net revenue, representing a ($94k) difference compared to the same quarter in 2019, but a $1.2M improvement sequentially from Q2 2020.
 
Earnings per share of $(0.01), flat in the third quarter of 2019, but represents a 86% improvement sequentially from Q2 2020.
 
“We are very pleased with this quarter’s results and believe that we are now on a clear path to achieving scale and profitability,” said Jackie Barry Hamilton, CFO of Zoom. “Our balance sheet and cash position are strong; benefiting from a recent PIPE, and we have maintained our working capital levels despite challenges associated with the pandemic.”
 
Business Outlook
 
“Our research shows Zoom is holding its position as one of the top three leaders in modems, gateways, and MoCA devices by retail market share,” said Jeremy Hitchcock, Executive Chairman of Zoom’s Board of Directors. “We are seeing strong market tailwinds in home connectivity, underscored in a 45% increase in retailer inventory demand from this time last year. Our inventory position is actively being rebuilt as manufacturing capacity ramps in Vietnam to meet increased customer demand, without tariffs.”
 
Separately, Zoom today announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to merge with Minim Inc., a private AI-driven WiFi management and security platform.
