Zoom Technologies Reports Q4 2007 Results
 

Boston, MA, February 13, 2008 -Zoom Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOM), a leading producer of modems and other communication products, today reported net sales of $3.8 million for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, down 23% from $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2006.

Zoom reported an operating loss before building sale of $0.9 million for Q4 2007, an improvement compared to an operating loss before building sale of $1.0 million for Q4 2006. Zoom reported a net loss of $0.8 million or $0.09 per diluted share for Q4 2007 compared to net income of $5.1 million or $0.54 per diluted share for Q4 2006. Zoom’s Q4 2006 net income benefited from a $4.8 million operating gain from the sale of its headquarters building and other income of $1.2 million, a portion of Zoom’s gain from the sale of Intermute.

Gross profit was $0.8 million or 22.3% of net sales in Q4 2007 compared to $1.2 million or 23.7% of net sales in Q4 2006. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower sales, which also increased the gross margin impact of fixed costs for personnel and facilities.

Operating expenses were $1.8 million or 46.8% of net sales in Q4 2007 compared to $2.1 million or 43.0% of net sales in Q4 2006. Actions to reduce headcount and overhead expenses combined with reductions in variable selling expenses resulted in decreases in Selling, G&A and R&D expenses.

Zoom’s cash balance on December 31, 2007 was $3.6 million, down from $3.7 million on September 30, 2007. This change was primarily due to Zoom’s Q4 2007 $0.8 million net loss and $0.5 million reduction in current liabilities, substantially offset by a $1.6 million reduction in accounts receivable. Zoom’s current ratio was 3.8 on December 31, 2007, and Zoom’s working capital was $7.8 million. Shareholder equity on December 31, 2007 was $9.12 million, or $0.98 per share. Zoom has no long-term debt.

“Sales declines from Q4 2006 to Q4 2007 were due to weak sales in several countries outside the US, including the UK and Turkey,” said Frank Manning, Zoom’s President and CEO. “A major contributor to weak UK sales was excess inventory at one of our largest customers, and we believe that customer’s product sell-through should resolve this problem by March 2008. Looking at full-year 2007, we see that annual sales were up slightly after many years of a decline driven by the decline in what was once our strongest product category, dial-up modems. In 2007 broadband modem sales generated 58% of our revenues. Zoom’s broadband sales rose 31% in 2007 over 2006, despite the decline in DSL sales to Turkey of $1.3 million from 2006 to 2007. We have succeeded at placing broadband modems at key retailers in the US, the UK, and Spain, and at selling broadband modems to Internet service providers in the US and many other countries. However, we continue to suffer from the fact that the lion’s share of broadband modems are supplied by giant service providers like AT&T and Verizon. We hope that the “bring your own phone” theme from Verizon Wireless, Google, and others will be a theme taken up by giant DSL service providers looking to reduce equipment and support costs, and to provide their customers with more and better equipment choices. Meanwhile Zoom is working on some truly innovative new products, winning new customers, and making investments to help diversify our business such as the recently announced investment in RedMoon.”
