IntriCon Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

ARDEN HILLS, Minn., Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Recent Highlights:

  • Quarterly revenue of $29.3 million
    • Revenue from largest medical customer grew 3.7% year-over-year
  • Gross margin of 28%
  • Net loss per diluted share of $0.57 versus net income of $0.25 per diluted share in the 2018 second quarter
  • Signed four-year Supply Agreement with largest Medical customer
  • Repositioned hearing aid sales in the UK through new distribution agreement with Puretone Ltd. and sold accessory business assets of its UK Limited subsidiary

“Over the past several quarters, we have taken important steps towards best positioning our business for the growth opportunities we see emerging in Medical Biotelemetry and Hearing Health, including bolstering our leadership team, expanding our manufacturing facilities, and realigning certain areas of our hearing health business. Our recent restructuring efforts will have a substantial effect on our bottom line, while at the same time allowing us to focus resources on new growth opportunities,” said Mark Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. “We remain confident in our ability to achieve our long-term goals and secure our position as the partner of choice in micro-miniature device production.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
For the 2019 second quarter, the company reported net revenue of $29.3 million versus $29.4 million in the comparable prior-year period. Revenue excludes contributions from the discontinued operations of its UK Limited subsidiary.

Revenue in IntriCon’s Medical business in the second quarter of 2019 was $20.9 million, an increase from $20.2 million in the comparable prior-year period. Growth was driven primarily by sales to diabetes and medical coil customers.  

Hearing Health revenue was $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $7.7 million in the prior-year second quarter. The revenue decline during the quarter was largely attributed to order delays associated with restructuring activity within a large insurance customer’s hearing health business that are expected to continue through the remainder of 2019.

Gross margin in the second quarter of 2019 was 28%, down from 33% in the prior-year second quarter. Gross margins were constrained by ongoing validation and qualification expense and excess capacity related to the recent manufacturing expansion to meet the anticipated higher volume requirements of our existing and future customers.

Operating expenses for the second quarter were $11.6 million, compared to $6.7 million in the comparable prior-year period. The increase stemmed from the $3.8 million write-off of Hearing Help Express goodwill and intangible assets, higher non-cash stock compensation expense, increased advertising investments in our Direct-to-End-Consumer business and support costs related to key new business development initiatives. 

The company posted a net loss of approximately $5.0 million or $0.57 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2019, versus net income of approximately $2.0 million or $0.25 per diluted share, for the 2018 second quarter.  The company reported a second-quarter net loss from continuing operations of $3.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, which includes the Hearing Help Express goodwill and intangible asset write-off of approximately $3.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share.

2019 Guidance
As previously announced, IntriCon revised its guidance for the full year 2019. The company anticipates revenue in the range of $115 million to $117.5 million and gross margins in the range of 27% to 28.5% for the full year 2019.
