July 10, 2018 4:07 PM

VOXX Int'l (NASDAQ: VOXX) reported Q1 EPS of ($0.04), $0.04 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.00. Revenue for the quarter came in at $100.86 million versus the consensus estimate of $122.24 million.

Pat Lavelle, President and CEO of VOXX International Corporation stated, "The steps we have taken to realign operations and lower fixed costs are taking hold as losses were reduced year-over-year and further improvements are expected. While sales declined, this was anticipated. New programs and product launches across the segments should result in top-line growth in the second half of the year. Additionally, lower inventory positions and improved gross margins, particularly in the Premium Audio segment, should favorably impact the bottom-line. As such, we expect VOXX to return to profitability in the Fiscal 2019 third quarter and finish the year profitable on an operating and net income basis."

Lavelle continued, "Demand for our next-generation EVO rear-seat infotainment system is building and holds significant potential for our Automotive segment, as our OEM customers are rolling EVO out on new vehicles and inbound interest has intensified. We're gearing up for the launch of our new Klipsch Reference and Reference Premier speaker lines, as well as the launch of other Klipsch audio solutions. Our Consumer Accessories segment has expanded its distribution in the healthcare space, and we anticipate top-line improvements as a result in the second half of Fiscal 2019 and beyond, coupled with EyeLock products soon coming to market. Our balance sheet remains strong and our business outlook is improving."
