PRESS RELEASE

InfoSonics Reports Third Quarter 2013 Results

Profitability on 84% Increase in Sales

SAN DIEGO, November 6, 2013 – InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), the provider of verykool® wireless handset solutions, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

“We are pleased to report a profitable quarter driven by an 84% increase in sales of our verykool® products over the same period last year, as well as our fourth consecutive quarter of record unit shipments,” said Joseph Ram, president and CEO of InfoSonics. “We shipped 477,000 handsets this quarter, a 166% increase compared to unit shipments in the particularly soft third quarter last year. Sales to customers in South America more than doubled, and sales in Central America increased by 59%. Our efforts to realign our cost structure reduced total operating expenses by 23% compared to the prior year period and produced a profitable quarter. We continued to refresh our product portfolio by expanding our Xtreme line of ruggedized handsets with the verykool®RS90 “Vortex” smartphone and introduced the verykool®s470 “Black Pearl,” a powerful smartphone with a quad-core processor, Android 4.2 and a 4.7” HD screen.”

InfoSonics reported net sales for the third quarter of 2013 of $9.9 million, which represented a $4.5 million, or 84%, increase from $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. As noted above, net sales to carrier customers in South America doubled and sales to customers in Central America grew 59%. Sales were also strong to U.S. based distributors selling to customers in Latin America and Mexico.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.8 million, a 60% increase from $1.1 million in the 2012 third quarter, reflecting the significantly higher level of net sales. Gross margin as a percent of net sales in the 2013 third quarter was 18.5% compared to 21.2% in the 2012 third quarter. The lower gross margin this year reflects the sale of slow moving inventory at reduced prices and margins, as well as a decrease of private label sales to customers in EMEA and APAC.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2013 of $1.8 million declined 23% compared to $2.3 million in the 2012 third quarter. Reduced spending in a number of areas resulted in a 13% decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. R&D expenses fell by 58%, reflecting savings associated with the consolidation of our China development team earlier in the year into one location in Shenzhen.

Net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $34,000, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per share, in the third quarter of 2012.

At September 30, 2013, the Company had $15.8 million in working capital, including $1.9 million in cash and restricted cash, and no outstanding indebtedness. Cash and restricted cash balances declined by $4.5 million compared to the June 30, 2013 balances primarily as a result of increased accounts receivable incident to the increased sales level.
