VOXX Int'l (VOXX) Reports Q3 EPS of $0.10, Revenues Miss
VOXX Int'l (NASDAQ: VOXX) reported Q3 EPS of $0.10, versus $0.50 reported last year. Revenue for the quarter came in at $110.1 million versus the consensus estimate of $129.64 million.
Pat Lavelle, President and Chief Executive Officer of VOXX International stated, "Our fiscal 2020 third quarter and year-to-date results are somewhat mixed. On the positive side, the restructuring initiatives we've executed have worked, resulting in lower spending and far greater efficiencies throughout the Company. Our premium audio business continues to grow, is profitable and getting stronger, and the accessories products and programs in place domestically are also doing well. These are the areas we focused on during our realignment and we are continuing to look for ways to improve profitability further. On the other hand, our Automotive Electronics segment, particularly our OEM business which has historically been a core area of strength, has been impacted throughout the year. While the segment was still profitable in the fiscal third quarter and year-to-date, results have been less than anticipated and have impacted our consolidated results. However, new OEM programs are slated to begin next fiscal year, which should drive year-over-growth, and we have been awarded significant new business that begins in CY21 and will run for several years."
Lavelle continued, "Our balance sheet remains strong and we are executing on our share repurchase program, having entered into a 10b-5 trading program based on recommendations from shareholders. We are also continuing to evaluate potential divestitures and acquisitions that will improve earnings and cash flow, while maintaining flexibility to execute our strategy. New OEM contract awards and new programs with companies such as Amazon, SiriusXM and others for our biometrics and OEM offerings, are providing significant optimism as we look out over the next few years. Our focus remains on value creation and we will not stand still until we achieve this."
