Management Comments
"The momentum we experienced in the first quarter of the year continued in the second quarter of 2016," said Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation. "We are pleased that the significant leverage in our model is clearly evident, with net income increasing substantially from last year. This performance is driven in large part by continued strength in our automotive electronics business, across both OEM and programming center customers.
"Automotive electronics is a key component of our long term growth outlook. Following the end of the second quarter we announced a very important contract which we believe defines our leadership position in this market. Bosch Car Multimedia, one of the world's largest automotive electronics OEMs, selected Data I/O in a multivendor competitive bidding process for a 5-year supply agreement. This victory demonstrates our technical superiority, the ability to satisfy the extensive global requirements inherent in long term global supply agreements, and our industry leading managed and secure pre-programming capabilities rooted in our Lumen™X platform.
"The Bosch agreement is validation of the successful execution of our growth strategy, yet it was not a factor in our second quarter operating results. Based on the strong bookings in the first quarter, which were the highest level for that period in 5 years, second quarter revenue of $5.8 million was 17% higher than a year ago and up 26% from the first quarter. Strong bookings performance in the second quarter led to $5.7 million in orders. Sales to the automotive electronics market continue to be robust, and represented over half of our bookings in the quarter. The Company's backlog was $2.0 million at the end of the second quarter. Second quarter operating income increased dramatically to 6.7% from 1.3% in the same period last year. On a material increase in sales, operating expenses were held in check as we further benefited from cost saving initiatives.
"Along with our operational strategies, our stock buyback program is an integral component of our mission to deliver value to our shareholders. During the first half of the year, we repurchased 73,845 shares under our buyback program with an average price per share of $2.33, against a current share price of $2.89 as of July 26. We remain on track for continued execution of our plan in 2016 to extend our leading market share in the automotive electronics industry, while growing our presence in the Internet of Things market."
Financial Results
Net sales in the second quarter of 2016 were $5.8 million, compared with $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase in sales was primarily a result of strong bookings in the first quarter of 2016, particularly for automotive electronics equipment. Net sales for the first half of 2016 were $10.4 million as compared to $10.9 million for the same period last year.
For the 2016 second quarter, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 53.2%, compared to 54.9% in the second quarter of 2015. The difference in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to sales mix. For the first six months of 2016, gross margin was 53.9% compared to 51.4% in the same period last year.
Net income in the second quarter of 2016 was $444,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with net income of $100,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015. Year-to-date, net income was $276,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $149,000, or $0.02 per diluted share for the same period last year.
