INFOSONICS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS
• 2005 revenues double to record $146 million
• Fourth quarter revenues increase 79% year-over-year
• 2005 income from continuing operations increases 152% to $2.3 million or $0.38 per diluted share
• Fourth quarter net income from continuing operations increases to $817,000 or $0.12 per diluted share
SAN DIEGO, CA, March 8, 2006 – InfoSonics Corporation (AMEX: IFO), one of the fastest growing distributors of wireless handsets in the United States and Latin America, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2005 ended December 31, 2005.
Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 were $145.8 million, a 99% increase compared with $73.4 million reported for the comparable period in 2004. The geographic mix of revenues shifted significantly in 2005 as sales in Latin America increased 226% and Argentina was added as a new region for the Company. Combined these two regions represented 69% of net sales as compared to 12% in 2004. Sales in the United States declined 30% to $45.6 million, or 31% of net sales. For the full year of 2005, units shipped increased 136%, offsetting a 15% decline in average selling price.
Operating income from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 increased 180% to $3.7 million compared with $1.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. After interest and tax expense, income from continuing operations for the full year of 2005 increased 152% to $2.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, as compared with approximately $929,000, or $0.19 per diluted share in 2004. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 increased to $2.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with a net income of approximately $38,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2004. Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding increased to 6.1 million at December
31, 2005 from 5.0 million at December 31, 2004, primarily due to an increase of “in the money” options as a result of the increase in the Company’s share price during the year.
Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 were $35.0 million, which is a 79% increase compared with $19.6 million reported for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Combined sales from the region of Latin America and Argentina represented 70% of total revenues, with the U.S. accounting for the balance. Sales in the Latin American region increased 52% in the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, and Argentina contributed $15.6 million in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2005. For the fourth quarter of 2005, units shipped increased by 125% year-over-year, offsetting an anticipated 18% decline in average selling price.
Operating income from continuing operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 increased 498% to $1.3 million compared with $213,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. After interest and tax expense, income from continuing operations for the quarter was $817,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, as compared with approximately $2,000, or $0.01 per diluted share in the same quarter a year ago. Net income, including a loss from discontinued operations, for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 increased to $811,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with net income of $73,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2004.
“2005 was a year of record-breaking financial performance for InfoSonics,” stated Joseph Ram, InfoSonics’ Chief Executive Officer. “During the year we continued to develop strong relationships with our customers in both the United States and Latin America, build our distribution infrastructure and diversify our product offerings, which combined, resulted in strong top-line growth. Due to our focus on operational efficiencies and our fiscal discipline, InfoSonics was able to expand its margins and achieve record profitability as well. We believe our extended credit line and the recent completion of a private placement provides InfoSonics with additional financial strength and flexibility to support our strategic growth initiatives as we move forward.”
Gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, was $12.1 million, or 8.3% of net sales, compared to $5.5 million, or 7.6% of net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s gross profit was $3.1 million, or 8.9% of net sales, compared to $1.3 million, or 6.7% of net sales for the quarter ended December 30, 2004. The improvement in gross profit and gross margin in the fourth quarter and full-year is attributable to a shift in sales mix to higher margin products and increased value-added services. The Company’s gross profits and gross margins will continue to vary quarter-to-quarter depending on product and geographic mix.
Operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 were $8.4 million, or 5.7% of net sales, as compared with $4.2 million, or 5.7% of net sales, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. For the fourth quarter of 2005, operating expenses were $1.8 million, or 5.3% of net sales, as compared with $1.1 million, or 5.6% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of 2004. This decrease as a percent of revenue is primarily due to operating efficiencies realized during the quarter.
“Over the past several years, InfoSonics has provided innovative solutions and value-added services to the mobile communications market, while delivering profitable growth to our
2
shareholders,” continued Mr. Ram. “In 2006, we plan to take InfoSonics to the next level of success. Our strategy is to continue to expand our geographic footprint while remaining committed to providing high quality services that we believe will result in new customer wins both domestically and in Latin America. Based on strong market fundamentals and our confidence in our ability to continue to execute, we believe that 2006 will be another successful year for InfoSonics.”
