FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Memry Corporation FY ‘05 Revenue $45.0M

Net Income $2.7M or $0.10 Per Diluted Share

 

Q4 Revenue Up 38% to $13.3M

Net Income $881,000 or $0.03 Per Diluted Share

 

Bethel, CT, August 31, 2005 — Memry Corporation (AMEX: MRY) reported today that revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 rose 30% to a record $45,008,000, compared with $34,492,000 reported in the previous fiscal year. Net income was $2,725,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2,378,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the previous year. Pretax income for FY ‘05 was $4,408,000, compared with pretax income of $3,217,000 in FY ‘04.

 

For the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, revenue increased 38% to a record $13,345,000, compared with $9,658,000 in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2004. Fourth quarter net income was $881,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1,288,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2004. Both the full-year and fourth quarter net income for fiscal 2004 included a $350,000 research and development tax credit.

 

James G. Binch, CEO of Memry, said, “Fiscal year 2005 was a superb year for Memry Corporation highlighted by the November acquisition of Putnam Plastics Corporation, one of the leading specialty polymer extrusion companies serving the medical device industry. Putnam added to our revenue stream with $8,033,000 in shipments of polymer extrusion components during the last eight months of the fiscal year. Putnam sales are expected to contribute 25% or more of total revenue going forward. Already Putnam is helping to smooth the growth of our revenue stream and will contribute to higher gross margins. In addition to new product lines that are enhancing revenue, the acquisition immediately provided us with incremental customers, new marketing avenues and important new materials capabilities that fit extremely well with our shape memory alloy business.

 

“Fiscal year 2005 was also a year of solid improvement for our core shape memory alloy business, which is primarily focused on the medical device component markets. Nitinol-related revenues were up 7% from the previous fiscal year to $36,975,000. We experienced growth in both nitinol wire-based and tube-based stent components as well as arch wire and guidewire products. These gains were offset by a decrease in revenue from super elastic tube, reflecting inventory adjustments and loss of market share by certain customers.

“We benefited from shipments of new medical device prototypes that we anticipate will lead to increased future shipments of commercial products. The Putnam addition has generated new inquiries from customers and enhanced our capabilities for engineering and delivering highly complex bundled components. We are providing customized nitinol components that we can integrate into completed access or delivery systems fabricated with sophisticated co-extrusion polymer systems from Putnam. Examples include nitinol or stainless steel reinforced catheters, delivery sheaths, complete guidewire systems and numerous other applications. By combining the talents of both organizations, we are able to solve complex and unique new design requirements, thus enabling us to meet a broader range of needs than was previously possible.”

 

Chief Financial Officer Robert P. Belcher said, “For the year ended June 30, 2005, operating expenses rose 16%, including amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Putnam. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased from 31% to 27%. Cost of revenues rose 31% to $27,095,000, primarily reflecting the acquisition of Putnam. In addition, there was a shift in focus of staff engineers at Memry’s nitinol operations from new process development to manufacturing support.

 

“On June 30, 2005, the company prepaid $2,500,000 of its subordinated debt in order to eliminate a portion of the 17% interest expense associated with this part of the Putnam acquisition financing. We are pleased that we have been able to pay down this debt while ending the fiscal year with over $4,000,000 in cash on our balance sheet,” said Belcher.

 

Binch said, “Looking forward, we have said previously that the company is targeting an annualized revenue run rate of $100,000,000 in three years, based on a combination of internal growth and the accomplishment of another synergistic acquisition. The Putnam acquisition has reinforced Memry’s position as a strategic supplier of enabling technologies, products and services to the medical device industry. We expect to make progress in the coming year on our objective to become the leading supplier of components and sub-assemblies to the medical device industry. We are specifically focused on providing high value-added solutions to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases using less invasive technologies and procedures. In doing so, we also are continuing our efforts to diversify and expand our revenue base by offering new products and services. We expect this to be reflected in solid revenue growth and improvement in the bottom line in fiscal year 2006.”
