LRAD^® Corporation Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

 

SAN DIEGO, CA – August 2, 2016 - LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ: LRAD), the world’s leading provider of acoustic hailing devices and advanced mass notification systems, today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

Fiscal Third Quarter 2016 Financial Summary

 

●

Revenues: Fiscal third quarter 2016 revenues totaled $5.0 million, compared to $3.5 million reported in the fiscal third quarter of 2015.

o

Revenues increased 44% in the current quarter compared to the prior year’s quarter primarily due to the shipment of two orders into Southeast Asia - $1.1 million for public safety and $760,000 for navy vessels.

o

Revenues were diversified regionally, with sales into 31 countries, and across applications including law enforcement, border and perimeter security, oil and gas, prisons, and U.S. and international militaries and military vehicles.

●

Net Income/Loss: The Company reported net income of $277,000, or $0.01 per share, during the fiscal third quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss of $64,000, or $0.00 per share, during the fiscal third quarter of 2015.

o

Operating expenses increased by $395,000 due to increased salaries, benefits and consulting primarily for business development personnel, increased recruiting costs primarily related to the Company’s CEO search, and increased sales commissions due to the revenue growth.

 

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2016 Financial Summary

 

●

Revenues: Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $11.5 million, compared to $12.4 million reported during the same period of fiscal 2015. The decline was primarily due to delays in contract awards and the timing of customer orders and deliveries.

●

Net Income/Loss: Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 declined by $1.5 million to a net loss of $768,000, or $0.02 per share, from net income of $732,000, or $0.02 per share, reported during the same period in fiscal 2015. Non-recurring expenses of $897,000 for the settlement of a proxy contest initiated by a stockholder, severance costs for the CEO departure, and recruiting costs related to the search for a new CEO, were the primary reasons for the earnings variance.

●

Balance Sheet: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.5 million at June 30, 2016, a decline from $18.3 million reported at September 30, 2015, primarily due to the use of $1.7 million for the repurchase of common stock, and $955,000 for the payment of cash dividends. Working capital totaled $22.8 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $25.6 million at September 30, 2015, primarily due to the aforementioned cash adjustments.

“Our core business showed signs of improvement in the fiscal third quarter due to new and follow-on international order deliveries,” remarked General John G. Coburn (Ret.), Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. “With today’s appointment of Richard Danforth as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Board has decided not to pay a dividend in order to give him time and flexibility to determine the best allocation of the Company's capital and resources. We are excited to work with him on maximizing LRAD's potential."
