    Financial Results

    Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $48.3 million, reflecting a slight decrease of $93,000 or -0.2% as compared to the same period in 2015. Talon Zipper product sales for the year were $3.7 million lower, or 17.4%, than the same period in 2015 due to decreased sales within the mass market retailers and specialty retailers as compared to 2015. Talon Trim revenues, which consist primarily of sales to specialty retail branded customers, increased by $3.6 million, or 13.3%, compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to new stretch technology programs and customers.

    Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 were $11.7 million, down less than 1% from the same period in 2015. Fourth quarter 2016 included $3.7 million in Zipper revenues, up $0.3 million from the prior year, and $8.0 million in Trim revenues, a decrease of $0.4 million versus the same period in 2015.

    "We continued to make progress on our strategic initiatives in 2016," stated Larry Dyne, Talon's Chief Executive Officer. "Though our revenues were flat versus the prior year, we produced higher margins and improved income from operations, as we had a more favorable product mix and worked to improve our operational costs. To remain focused on serving our customers, we've expanded geographically in order to locate near their manufacturing facilities, and are working closely with our specialty brand retail customers to offer Fit for Purpose items that meet our innovation and profitability standards. We continue to make significant investments in our product segments, particularly in the Trim business, as we experienced revenue growth and momentum this year."

    Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $17.6 million, or 36.5% of sales, compared to $16.3 million, or 33.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.3 million. Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $4.2 million, or 36.0%, compared to $4.3 million, or 36.6%, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The gross profit increase for the year is attributable to lower direct purchase costs and a shift into a greater revenue mix of higher-margin products.

    Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 were essentially flat from the prior year at $14.9 million. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $3.8 million, which was $85,000 higher than the fourth quarter of 2015. Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $6.8 million, a $371,000 increase when compared to the same period in 2015. This was mainly due to additional compensation costs, increased facilities and related expenses, and an increase in new product development and marketing costs, offset by a decrease in travel and related costs. Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 were $1.8 million, as compared to $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.

    Income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.1 million compared to $773,000 for the same period in 2015. For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, operations reflected income before income taxes of $289,000 as compared to income before income taxes of $445,000 for the same quarter in 2015.

    Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1.0 million or $0.01 per share as compared to $511,000 or $0.01 per share for the year ended December 31, 2015. Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $33,000 or $0.00 per share as compared to net income of $312,000 or $0.00 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

    Total shareholders' equity increased to $7.5 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2015.
