HUNT VALLEY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TESSCO Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TESS), a leading provider of the knowledge, product and supply chain solutions needed to build, operate and use wireless networks and systems, today announced its results for the fiscal second quarter ending September 27, 2009.
Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $133.0 million compared to $143.8 million in the 2009 second quarter. Gross profit for the 2010 second quarter was $31.6 million, or 23.8% of revenues, compared to $34.2 million, also 23.8% of revenues, in the prior-year period. The company reported net income of $2.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter.
For the six months ended September 27, 2009, revenues totaled $241.8 million compared to $265.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2009. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2010 was $60.6 million, or 25.1% of revenues, compared to $65.2 million, or 24.5% of revenue, in the prior-year period. The company reported net income of $4.5 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, in the first half of fiscal 2010, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in the first half of fiscal 2009.
As of September 27, 2009, the company's cash balance totaled $8.4 million and there was no balance outstanding on the revolving line of credit. For the first six months of fiscal 2010, cash flows from operations totaled $11.8 million.
"Fiscal 2010 is proving to be a very good year for TESSCO," stated Chairman, President and CEO Robert B. Barnhill. "The execution of our strategies to deliver superior value to our customers is allowing us to increase market share while improving the productivity in every aspect of our business. I am very pleased that we are delivering strong bottom-line profitability while continuing to invest in the future.
"The convergence of wireless and internet technologies is producing new applications, offerings and customers for TESSCO. As a result, the number of monthly purchasing customers and earnings per share rose to historic levels in the second quarter, operating income margin reached a seven-year high and the balance sheet strengthened.
"In summary, TESSCO's effective marketing and sales efforts, diverse product offering and operational excellence all combined to drive outstanding results despite the still weak economic environment. We are optimistic about our future as evidenced by our improved business outlook and the continuation of the quarterly dividend program. It was a great quarter!"
Quarterly Dividend
The company will continue its quarterly dividend program with a $0.10 per common share cash dividend payable on November 25, 2009 to holders of record on November 11, 2009.
Any future declaration of dividends, and the establishment of record and payment dates, is subject to further determinations of TESSCO's Board of Directors.
Business Outlook
Based on the company's results for the first six months of fiscal 2010 and the new business opportunities that TESSCO management sees on the horizon, we are increasing our fiscal year 2010 earnings guidance to a range of $1.45 to $1.70 per share. The previous guidance, provided on July 21, 2009, was a range of $1.15 to $1.40 per share. As the year progresses and visibility increases, management may review and update its financial targets as appropriate.
Forecasting future results is inherently difficult for any business and actual results may differ materially from those forecasted. Moreover, the nature of our business is that TESSCO typically ships products within several days after booking orders; the lack of an order backlog makes it even more difficult to forecast future results.
Stock Buyback Program
During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we did not purchase any shares of common stock under our existing buyback program. As of September 27, 2009, up to 84,439 shares remained available under this program for repurchase in the open market, by block purchase, or through negotiated transactions, or possibly other transactions managed by broker-dealers. Purchases are funded from working capital and/or our revolving line of credit facility. No timetable has been set for the completion of the program.
Second-Quarter-2010 Conference Call

*Non-GAAP Information
EBITDA, a measure used by management to evaluate its ongoing operations and as a general indicator of its operating cash flow (in conjunction with its cash flow statement which also includes among other items, changes in working capital and the effect of non-cash charges) is defined as income from operations, plus interest expense, net of interest income, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Management believes EBITDA as well as EBITDA per share are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of EBITDA and EBITDA per share may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA per diluted share is also a non-GAAP calculation defined as EBITDA divided by the Company's diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. The amounts shown for EBITDA as presented herein differ from the amounts calculated under the definition of EBITDA used in the Company's debt instruments. The definition of EBITDA as used in the Company's loan agreements is further adjusted for certain cash and non-cash charges/credits, including stock compensation expense, and is used to determine compliance with financial covenants and the ability to engage in certain activities such as incurring additional debt.
A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP to GAAP results is included as an exhibit to this release.
