DATA I/O ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

Redmond, Wash., July 26, 2007 – Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ: DAIO), the leading provider of manual and automated device programming systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2007.

 

Revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were $5.8 million, a decline of 4% compared with $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2007. Total orders during the second quarter were $6.2 million, up 7% from the first quarter of 2007. Backlog increased to $2.4 million at the end of the second quarter. The gross margin as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2007 was 49.1 percent, compared with 55.1 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The decline in gross margin percentage was primarily due to unabsorbed fixed labor and overhead costs of operations at the lower sales and production volume.

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2007 were $3.9M including a restructuring charge of $632,000. This compares with operating expenses in the first quarter of 2007 of $4.1M. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), net loss for the second quarter of 2007 was ($1,079,000), or ($0.13) per share, compared with a net loss of ($398,000) or ($0.05) per share for the second quarter of 2006, and compared with a net loss of ($785,000), or ($0.09) per share, for the first quarter of 2007.

 

“In the second quarter we reduced our structural expenses in each of our locations to allow us to achieve a much lower breakeven and drive more profit to the bottom line as revenue grows in the second half of the year”, said Fred Hume, president and CEO. “The changes we made include transferring some development and production

 

activities to our lower cost base of operations in China, eliminating some functions, eliminating entities that were no longer adding value, and reducing activity related to declining legacy business. While gross margin was down for the quarter, we believe that this was not indicative of a longer range trend.”

 

“We were also pleased to see some recovery in orders from our Asian customers particularly toward the end of the second quarter. Orders from our European customers were up both with respect to the previous quarter and also the same quarter last year. Orders from North American customers were also stronger than in the first quarter. During the second quarter we recognized revenue from shipments of a new FLX500 application solution to one of the world’s leading mobile handset manufacturers. We expect to see future revenue growth from the further adoption of this new application solution.”
