EX-99.A1I 2 cyber083044_exa1i.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED JULY 23, 2008 Exhibit 99(a)(1)(I) to CyberOptics Corporation Form SC TO-I/A

Exhibit (a)(1)(I)

CyberOptics Reports Second Quarter Operating Results

 

Minneapolis, MN—July 23, 2008—CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq: CYBE) today reported operating results for the second quarter of 2008 ended June 30:

 

 

Consolidated sales totaled $13,391,000, down modestly from $13,807,000 in this year’s first quarter and $13,974,000 in the second quarter of 2007. Sales for the current quarter exceeded CyberOptics’ previously-issued financial guidance for this period.

 

 

CyberOptics reported an operating loss of $733,000, compared to operating income of $159,000 in the first quarter and $1,274,000 in the second quarter of 2007.

 

 

CyberOptics’ net loss came to $269,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, which included approximately $550,000 of pre-tax costs related to the previously announced transition of inspection systems-related R&D and manufacturing to Singapore. Results for the second quarter also included a write-down of $166,000 related to an available for sale equity investment, CyberOptics’ only such investment on which no further write-downs are anticipated. CyberOptics reported net income of $427,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in this year’s first quarter and $1,198,000 or $0.13 per diluted share in last year’s second quarter.

 

 

CyberOptics ended the second quarter of 2008 with cash and marketable securities of $45,713,000, compared to $47,740,000 at the end of the first quarter and $52,618,000 at the beginning of 2008.

 

 

During this year’s second quarter, cash totaling $1,964,000 was used to repurchase approximately 210,000 CyberOptics shares under previously announced buyback authorizations. All authorizations have been canceled due to the implementation of a $15 million modified Dutch auction tender offer for CyberOptics’ common stock. The Dutch tender commenced June 30 and will expire on July 29, unless extended by CyberOptics.

 

Kathleen P. Iverson, president and chief executive officer, commented: “Our operating results were driven by higher than forecasted sales of inspection systems, which increased 10% from this year’s first quarter to $6,112,000. This solid growth helped offset continued pricing pressures on these products in Asia, the impact of the Singapore transition costs and the equity investment write-down. Sales of electronic assembly sensors were at forecasted levels in the second quarter, while sales of our WaferSense family of wireless sensors for semiconductor manufacturing almost doubled from the year-earlier level to $430,000.”

 

She continued: “We are very encouraged by the progress of our systems business, which is benefiting from a variety of factors, including the continued miniaturization of electronic components, which is making automated inspection a necessity for ensuring product quality. This growing need has helped free our systems business from being solely reliant upon expansions in SMT production capacity, since a substantial portion of our systems business involves the retrofitting of existing production lines with our solder paste or AOI inspection systems, or both. Reflecting this positive trend, we added 10 new systems customers during the second quarter, in addition to receiving a significant order for our Flex Ultra automated optical inspection (AOI) systems from an Asian original design manufacturer. We anticipate continued growth opportunities for our systems business going forward.”

 



Iverson added: “At this time, we are anticipating sharply lower sales of electronic assembly sensors in the third quarter across all of our OEM customers, reflecting what we believe to be the onset of a period of slowing growth in new SMT production capacity due to weakening global economic conditions. This development is expected to be offset partly by our forecast for the continued growth of our inspection systems business. For the third quarter of 2008 ending September 30, we are forecasting sales of $11.5 to $12.5 million and a net loss of $0.12 to $0.17 per diluted share, which will include pre-tax Singapore transition costs of approximately $600,000. Our third quarter guidance also incorporates continued gross margin pressures due to high system sales, which carry a lower gross margin, in addition to ongoing investment in higher performing and cost-reduced next generation systems and inspection technologies.”

 

The transition of systems-related R&D to Singapore is scheduled for completion by late 2008 as planned. CyberOptics has maintained its Minneapolis-based systems R&D during the establishment of an R&D operation in Singapore, which has resulted in duplicated R&D costs. Total R&D spending is expected to decrease starting at the end of the fourth quarter as the transition process nears completion and the Minneapolis R&D function for systems is phased out. Sensor-related product development will remain at CyberOptics’ Minneapolis headquarters. Manufacturing of a next-generation solder paste inspection system is scheduled to commence in Singapore later this year, while all systems manufacturing should be transitioned to Singapore during the first half of 2009. The realignment of the systems business, which is forecasted to yield significant cost savings, will result in a more effective and focused R&D effort that should position CyberOptics for generating higher levels of profitable growth over the next few years.

 

Steven K. Case, chairman and founder, said: “As we have stated previously, CyberOptics has been aggressively pursuing several promising inspection opportunities with OEM and end user customers. Three of these opportunities are nearing the contract phase, while another is in the proposal stage. The R&D efforts related to these projects are creating new technologies designed to lower the cost of inspection and provide faster production through-put speeds, better ease of use, and improved resolution for inspecting progressively smaller electronic components. At the same time, our next-generation solder paste inspection system, which incorporates a cost-reduced platform, should relieve some of the margin pressure on our inspection business, while providing for continued revenue growth. We believe the various product development initiatives currently underway will position CyberOptics for stronger operating results as the global electronics industry returns to a growth footing.”
