VOXX Int'l (VOXX) Misses Q2 EPS by 83c, Revenues Miss

VOXX Int'l (NASDAQ: VOXX) reported Q2 EPS of ($0.85), $0.83 worse than the analyst estimate of ($0.02). Revenue for the quarter came in at $108.87 million versus the consensus estimate of $114 million.

Pat Lavelle, President and CEO of VOXX International Corporation stated, "Automotive segment sales increased over 22% as newer OEM programs positively contributed to results. Premium Audio segment sales, while down slightly, were in line with our plan and gross margins came in 410 basis points higher year-over-year. A continued sales decline in Consumer Accessories this quarter caused us to take aggressive action to alter the segment\'s course. We are consolidating our Oehlbach and Schwaiger operations, both located in Germany, into one company. Further, following quarter end, we started a sale process, which includes retaining an M&A advisor to market this company, with a goal of identifying a potential buyer by fiscal year-end. We have also begun the restructuring of our domestic retail accessory group, focusing on higher volume and higher margin product lines."

Lavelle continued, "It is also our intent to bring our Magnat, Heco and Mac Audio brands under the Klipsch umbrella in the first half of Fiscal 2020, which will enable us to lower fixed costs, advance R&D and improve our market position. Overall, with the momentum in Automotive, better performance in Premium Audio, and the steps we are taking to improve our Consumer Accessories segment, we expect to be profitable in the second half of our fiscal year, with additional savings to materialize as we realign and strengthen our foundation with the long-term in mind."
