IGO REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 6, 2010 — iGo, Inc. (Nasdaq: IGOI), a leading provider of eco-friendly power management solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2010.
Net income was $769,000, or $0.02 per share, in the first quarter of 2010, compared with a net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.03) per share, in the same quarter of the prior year. Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was positively impacted by a $1.7 million gain recognized upon the reversal of a valuation allowance that had been previously recorded against a note receivable from Mission Technology Group, which acquired iGo’s expansion/docking business in 2007.
Revenue was $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, compared to $13.4 million in the same period of the prior year. The decline in revenue is primarily due to lower sales to private label distributors.
Gross margin was 32.5% in the first quarter of 2010, compared to 29.1% in the first quarter of 2009. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to a greater percentage of revenue being generated through higher margin direct to retail sales efforts.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2010 were $3.7 million, compared with $5.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The decline in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to efforts made to reduce the Company’s cost structure during the past year.
The Company’s balance sheet remained strong with $33.2 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments as of March 31, 2010. The Company continues to have no long-term debt and had a book value per share of $1.26 based on 32.7 million common shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2010.
Michael D. Heil, President and Chief Executive Officer of iGo, commented, “Our first quarter results were in line with our expectations and reflect the higher gross margins we have achieved through our transition to a direct to retail sales model. Despite the lower level of revenue, our operating results have improved and our balance sheet and cash position have remained extremely strong. Going forward, we expect to see a steady increase in revenue driven by the new accounts we have added in the consumer electronics and small- and medium-business (SMB) channels. Our storecount in North America has increased more than 20% since the start of the

year and we are now in more than 15,000 locations. As we continue to add more accounts and grow revenue, we believe we can deliver sustainable improvement in our profitability.”
