EMERSON RADIO CORP. REPORTS FISCAL 2010 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
PARSIPPANY, N.J. – November 11, 2009 – Emerson Radio Corp. (NYSE AMEX: MSN) today reported financial results for its second quarter and six months ended September 30, 2009.
While net revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased $1.7 million, or 3.3%, to $51.8 million as compared to net revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $53.5 million, net revenues for the fiscal year 2010 to date were $107.4 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or 10.3%, compared to net revenues of $97.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2009. The increase in net revenues for year to date fiscal 2010 was due to higher sales in the home appliances category, partially offset by lower sales in the Company’s audio and themed categories, and lower revenue earned from licensing activities.
Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.4 million compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, an increase of $3.2 million. Operating income for the fiscal year 2010 to date was $4.8 million, an increase of $4.2 million over operating income of $0.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2009. The increase in fiscal year to date operating income is driven by the Company’s efforts to manage costs while growing net revenue, as reflected in a nearly 20% reduction in year-over-year SG&A expenses, coupled with a 10.3% increase in year-over-year net revenue.
Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.2 million or $0.12 per diluted share compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 or $0.01 per diluted share. Net income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2010 to date was $4.4 million or $0.16 per diluted share compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $61,000 for the same period in fiscal 2009.
After considering the impact of discontinued operations, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was $3.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. After considering the impact of discontinued operations, net income for fiscal year 2010 to date was $4.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period in fiscal 2009.
“Through the second quarter the Company continued to focus on reducing its cost structure while growing sales of its home appliance products resulting in operating income of $4.8 million for fiscal year 2010 to date,” said Greenfield Pitts, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Emerson Radio. “While the Company is pleased with its results to date this fiscal year, it continues to focus on building sales of its home appliance products and exploring opportunities to leverage its portfolio of well known consumer brands through strategic licensing agreements without losing the discipline that has been built around its cost management efforts.”
