Emerson Radio Corp. Reports Fiscal 2010 Third Quarter Results
MOONACHIE, NJ—(Marketwire — February 12, 2010) — Emerson Radio Corp. (NYSE Amex: MSN) today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009.
Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased $12.1 million, or 20.1%, to $48.0 million as compared to net revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 of $60.1 million, and net revenues for fiscal year 2010 to date decreased $2.0 million, or 1.2%, to $155.4 million as compared to net revenues of $157.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. The decrease in net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the prior year was due to lower sales across all categories and is reflective of a lower level of cyclicality in the current fiscal year’s revenue stream as compared to the prior year, when a majority of the Company’s annual sales were recorded in the third fiscal quarter. The decrease in net revenues for the fiscal year 2010 to date versus the prior year was due to lower sales of audio and themed products, partially offset by higher sales of housewares products, which were up 13% versus prior year.
Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $4.6 million compared to an operating loss of $2.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 an improvement of $6.7 million. Operating income for the fiscal year 2010 to date was $9.4 million compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2009, an improvement of $10.9 million. The increase in the third quarter and fiscal year to date operating income was driven by the Company’s efforts to manage costs, as reflected in a nearly 25% year-over-year reduction in SG&A expenses for the third quarter and a 21.4% year-over-year reduction for the fiscal 2010 period to date.
Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.4 million or $0.13 per diluted share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 to date was $7.8 million or $0.29 per diluted share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period in fiscal 2009.
Greenfield Pitts, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Emerson Radio, commented, “We are pleased that fiscal 2010’s financial results through the third quarter are reflective of our ongoing efforts to right size the Company’s cost structure, while focusing on growing the home appliance category and brand licensing portfolio. Moving

 


 

forward, we are continuing to focus on strategic and profitable revenue generation, realization of operating efficiencies and our cost containment efforts.”
