89 Million Insurance Telematics Subscribers Globally by 2017, Says ABI Research Feb 10, 2012 01:21PM

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The number of global insurance telematics users will grow at a CAGR of 90% from 1.85 million in 2010 to 89 million in 2017.

Dominique Bonte, group director, telematics and navigation, comments, “While insurance telematics or usage based insurance (UBI) is far from a recent phenomenon – US-based Progressive was already trialing solutions back in 2002 – a renewed interest in this market has occurred over the past two years, with an acceleration in uptake, as well as a dramatic change in the very nature of UBI, migrating from pay as you drive (PAYD) to pay how you drive (PHYD) based on continuous driver behavior monitoring and analysis.”

UBI allows insurance vendors to establish a continuous communication and feedback channel to build brand loyalty in an increasingly competitive auto insurance market. In the same way, value-added service packages including emergency services, roadside assistance, stolen vehicle tracking, teen driver monitoring, and vehicle diagnostics are often offered.

While the de-averaged pricing model and fairness principle of UBI to treat customers as individuals and have them pay for the risks they are actually taking instead of premiums depending on inaccurate proxies such as age and gender is gaining acceptance, many barriers hindering mass market uptake are still in place: self-selection of low risk drivers, privacy, lack of understanding of complex offers, lack of historical perspective validated by statistical data, absence of standards, installation of telematics hardware, and IP litigation.

While currently the default UBI hardware solution consists of a dedicated device plugged into the vehicle’s diagnostics OBD port, future UBI hardware solutions will increasingly be based on either factory-installed technology (as in-car connectivity penetration rates increase) or – for the aftermarket – converged devices such as smartphones wirelessly connecting to the OBD bus via Bluetooth adapters.

ABI Research’s new study, “Insurance Telematics,” (http://www.abiresearch.com/research/1008969) covers the different solutions for insurance telematics including PAYD and PHYD across different form factors such as embedded, portable, and converged in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. It includes detailed descriptions of market drivers and barriers, as well as shipment, subscribers, and discount forecasts.

Tandy Brands Reports Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Earnings Results Feb 10, 2012 01:19PM

  • Net sales up $2.5 million to $45.4 million
  • Gift segment sales up $6.0 million to $22.7 million
  • Net income up $2.0 million to $2.7 million
  • First half net income up $3.6 million
  • First half cash flow from operations up $17.7 million
  • Signed new licensing agreements with Sperry® and Arnold Palmer®

DALLAS, Feb. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBAC) today reported financial results for its second quarter and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011.

Net sales for the second quarter were $45.4 million, an increase of $2.5 million versus the prior year second quarter. Gifts segment net sales of $22.7 million increased by $6.0 million over the prior year period due to increased holiday shipments as a result of organic growth from the Company's totes® license and new sales from the Eddie Bauer® license. Net sales in the accessories segment were $22.7 million for the second quarter, a decline of $3.5 million from fiscal 2011. The decline reported in the Accessories segment net sales was a result of lower sales in exited product categories and lower levels of replenishment orders by the Company's largest customer.

"We are pleased to see our initiatives drive positive results," said Rod McGeachy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tandy Brands. "We delivered profitable growth and realized the benefits from recent cost savings initiatives to improve our bottom line."

Second quarter fiscal 2012 gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 30.9 percent, compared to 33.2 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Although accessories segment gross margins improved, overall gross margins declined due to a higher mix towards customer-direct shipments, higher customer deductions for holiday markdowns, and increased sales to higher volume, lower margin customers in the gift segment.

Total selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the fiscal 2012 second quarter improved by $2.3 million over the prior year period. This 18 percent improvement was due to savings initiatives in labor, facilities costs, and professional services. 

For the second quarter, the Company reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Six-Month Results

Net sales for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011 were $72.2 million compared to net sales of $72.1 million reported in the prior-year period. An increase in net sales of the gifts segment was due to an increase in business under the totes® license and new sales under the Eddie Bauer® license. This was offset by the planned exit from non-profitable product categories initiated at the end of the prior fiscal year in the accessories segment.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 32.1% in the first half of fiscal 2012, down from 33.9% in the first half of fiscal 2011. The decline was due to a change in sales mix in the gifts segment including a higher mix towards customer-direct shipments, higher freight and material costs, and increased sales to higher volume, lower margin customers.

Total SG&A expense for the six-month period decreased $5.0 million to $19.4 million in fiscal 2012 due to decreases in labor, facilities costs, and professional services.

The Company reported net income of $1.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.0 million, or a loss of $0.28 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Financial Position

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.7 million higher than the first half of fiscal 2011 due to a $3.8 million improvement in adjusted EBITDA, faster collections on receivables, lower inventory levels, and lower funding of accounts payable and accrued expenses. Inventories were reduced by $5.7 million to $32.7 million as of December 31, 2011, due to lower levels of inventory carried during the current year. Accounts receivable was reduced by $8.7 million to $16.4 million on flat net sales due to faster collection of receivables with the Company's largest customer. 

As of December 31, 2011 the Company reported net working capital of $25.1 million. Current liabilities of $29.0 million as of December 31, 2011 decreased $6.4 million from December 31, 2010 primarily driven by a $6.2 million reduction in outstanding debt.

"We are pleased by our improvement in cash flow from operations," said McGeachy. "We will continue to focus on accelerating our cash cycle and making prudent investment decisions with our cash. We are performing well against our debt covenants and successfully reducing overall debt. As of February 9, 2012 our loan balance was $8.5 million compared to $13.8 million during the same period a year ago."

New Licensing Agreements

In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company signed new licenses with Sperry Top-Sider® and Arnold Palmer Enterprises (APE). Both of these licenses are expected to impact results in the Company's accessories segment beginning in calendar 2013.

Under the agreement with Sperry Top-Sider®, Tandy Brands will have the rights to leverage its expertise in belts, shoulder bags, and small leather goods for both men and women. Sperry Top-Sider® products will be distributed through premium department stores and specialty retailers throughout the United States and Canada, Sperry Top-Sider's own retail stores, and on sperrytopsider.com.

"We are excited to partner with Sperry Top-Sider, a brand recognized as an icon of American style for more than 75 years with distinct equities which we will leverage to develop a compelling product offering," said McGeachy.

Under the agreement with APE, Tandy Brands will have the rights to leverage its expertise in golf belts. Incremental distribution is expected in green grass golf shops, off-course golf specialty stores, department stores, corporate shops and e-commerce shops.

"We are excited to be partnering with Arnold Palmer, one of the most successful names in the game of golf. Arnold Palmer's popularity is legendary and his name provides unquestioned authenticity to our products," said McGeachy.

"It is a key strategic imperative that we build our branded portfolio. The licenses we added last year (e.g. Wolverine®, Bone Collector®, Eddie Bauer®, and Haggar®) delivered meaningful, profitable growth in fiscal 2012. Furthermore, the new licenses we added this year (e.g. Miss Me®, The Sharper Image®, Elie Tahari®, Sperry®, and Arnold Palmer®) make our growth pipeline even stronger. We expect all of these nationally recognized consumer brands to increase future net sales, improve gross margin percentage, reduce our customer concentration risk and improve our mix of lower-margin private label business," said McGeachy.

Outlook

"Although diminishing, our customer concentration risk remains. Nonetheless, we expect to see continued growth in our gifts segment and from the new licenses we've added to our portfolio," commented McGeachy.

"We are focused on restoring shareholder value through improving operational efficiency, growing volume in our key product categories, and adding new licenses to our portfolio," said McGeachy.

Our adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement, is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain acquisition-related and one-time items. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides useful information about our business activities and also is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in evaluating a Company's performance. Not all companies utilize identical calculations; therefore, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other identically titled measures of other companies.

Cooper Lighting and Cooper Controls' Products Accepted into Prestigious 2011 IES Progress Report for Technical Advancement Feb 10, 2012 01:17PM

PEACHTREE CITY, Ga., Feb. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooper Lighting, an industry leader committed to delivering innovative products and driving transformational technology in the lighting industry, announces that ten of its innovative products have been recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Progress Committee as providing "an advancement in the art and science of lighting." Altogether, Cooper Lighting had nine products accepted - including eight LED luminaires - and Cooper Controls, a business unit of Cooper Lighting, had an additional energy-monitoring product accepted. The products are featured in the 2011 IES Progress Report, which presents significant developments and improvements in the lighting industry over the past year.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110513/DA01852LOGO-b)

The accepted products include:

  • Cooper Lighting's Neo-Ray Straight and Narrow 22 LED Luminaires, available in three color temperatures and offering a 25 percent energy savings over fluorescent sources, create slender lines of continuous, uniform illumination for recessed, suspended, surface- and wall-mounted applications.
  • Cooper Lighting's Corelite R Mini LED Luminaire is a unique 1' x 1' luminaire that provides a 28 percent reduction in energy with a 10 percent increase in delivered lumens, when compared to a traditional 32W compact fluorescent fixture.
  • Cooper Lighting's Corelite Loft/Element Micro LED Suspended Luminaire, which features independent dimming of the uplight and downlight components, achieves a high luminaire efficacy of 85 lumens per watt (lm/W). Comparable to a 54W T5HO fixture, this design provides a 17 percent reduction in energy with a 7 percent increase in lumens.
  • Cooper Lighting's Halo Stasis LED Luminaire, designed for retail, hospitality and commercial spaces, features tight optical control with minimal spill light and multiple patented field-changeable optical distributions including Spot (15 degrees), Narrow Flood (25 degrees) and Flood (40 degrees).
  • Cooper Lighting's RSA COMBOLIGHT LED Luminaire is the first airtight, IC-rated multiple-head recessed luminaire that offers one to six heads equipped with 18W LEDs and a double-gimbal design that allows the product to tilt 45 degrees in any direction.
  • Cooper Lighting's IRiS® Linear Spread Lens Trim, designed for use in multiple wall wash luminaires including compact fluorescent, halogen and ceramic metal halide sources, utilizes a unique color neutral glass lens technology eliminating the green tint of light found in standard glass. The result is increased optical efficiency with smooth vertical illumination.
  • Cooper Lighting's Metalux Accord LED Series, which evenly distributes the perfect amount of "softer" light, is available in two light levels, multiple color temperatures and boasts an efficacy of 88 lumens per watt (lm/W) with a 50,000 hour rated life. A quick disconnect feature allows for simple future LED upgrades.
  • Cooper Lighting's Halo H4 LED Adjustable Gimbals, the first small aperture (4-inch) adjustable downlights with the appearance and performance similar to a low voltage MR16 gimbal, features interchangeable reflectors with beam distributions of 25, 35 and 50 degrees, four color temperatures and an adjustable 35-degree tilt.
  • Cooper Lighting's Halo 4-inch and 6-inch LED Wall Wash Downlight Trims deliver uniform illumination and are the first residential and commercial grade LED trims of their kind, allowing these trims to be used for both IC and non-IC applications.
  • The Cooper Controls advanced Venergy Advanced Metering System is a code compliant energy saving solution, which monitors energy consumption, is easy to use, specify and scalable across any enterprise.

 

The Progress Report submittals, which include new products, applications, research, publications and design tools, are reviewed by the IES Progress Committee. The committee consists of industry experts from all different aspects of the lighting industry with the mission of keeping in touch with developments in the art and science of lighting throughout the world. The committee prepares a yearly review of achievements for the Society. Each submittal goes through a judging process and is evaluated for its uniqueness, innovativeness and significance to the lighting industry. Judging is not based on aesthetics, but focuses on and honors technical advancements.

The accepted products were presented at the IES Annual Conference in Austin, Texas this past November. The 2011 IES Progress Report was featured in the January issue of the Society's monthly magazine, Lighting Design + Application (LD+A). The Report is also posted on the IES website and is presented by IES Sections throughout the year at section meetings. To view the accepted products, click here to view the Report.
