Deswell Industries, Inc. Announces First Quarter Results
Friday August 17, 12:43 pm ET
- 21.3% Increase in Net Sales in First Quarter
- Company also Announces First Quarter Dividend of $0.17 Per Share


MACAO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deswell Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: DSWL - News) today announced its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Deswell reported net sales for the first quarter ended June 30, 2007 of $38.5 million, compared to $31.7 million for the first quarter 2006, an increase of 21.3%. Operating income totaled $3.3 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same quarter in 2006, a decrease of 14.5%. Net income for the quarter decreased 8.6% to $3.1 million from $3.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Basic and diluted net income per share for the quarter decreased to $0.21 and $0.21, respectively (based on 15,058,000 and 15,163,000 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively), compared to $0.23 and $0.23, respectively (based on 14,924,000 and 14,955,000 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively), for the comparable period in 2006.

Total gross margin decreased to 17.6% in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from 26.7% in the same quarter last year. Gross profit in the plastic segment decreased to 26.5% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to 31.7% of net sales for the year-ago quarter. The decreased gross margin was mainly due to the combination of a change in customer and product mix as compared with last year's quarter, an increase in labor rate of 21% and increased overhead cost of 3.6% of net sales as compared with year-ago quarter due to an approximately 5.8% appreciation in Chinese renminbi currency since the year-ago quarter.

Gross profit in the electronic and metallic segment decreased to 12.5% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to 22.2% of net sales for the year-ago quarter. The decrease was mainly attributable to the combined effect of a 7.5% increase in material cost as a percentage of sales, a stock provision of $500,000 in the quarter as a result of two customers pushing-out orders, the increase in value added tax cost as a result of the change in value added tax policy by the government of People's Republic of China for different categories of export products in this quarter, an approximately 5.8% appreciation in Chinese renminbi currency since the year-ago quarter, and an increased labor rate of approximately 45% in the quarter as compared with the year-ago quarter.

The Company's balance sheet remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents for the quarter totaling $23.4 million, compared to $24.5 million on March 31, 2007. Working capital totaled $62.4 million as of June 30, 2007, versus $58.7 million as of March 31, 2007. The Company has no long-term or short-term borrowings.

Mr. Franki Tse, chief executive officer, commented, "Revenues increased primarily as a result of the 45% growth at our electronics division which continues to build its position as a premier manufacturer of audio equipment. This growth was offset by a 6% decrease in sales in our plastics division as some customers delayed product introductions. Even though business grew at more than 20 percent, margins continue to primarily be impacted by various forces, such as tax rates and labor rates, that are making it more expensive to do business in China. To overcome these cost pressures and market challenges, we are cutting costs while increasing our focus on attracting new customers and building up a new R&D team. This new R&D team will focus on developing new concepts and products, with better margin, and providing more comprehensive product solutions. We look forward to presenting these new concepts and products to our customers over time in order to establish an even closer business relationship. In summary, we remain strategically focused on offering customers the higher value, and hence higher margin plastic parts and electronic assembly while maximizing efficiencies across our business."

First-Quarter Dividends

The Company also announced that on August 14, 2007 its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.17 per share for the fiscal first quarter 2007. The dividend will be payable on September 12, 2007 to shareholders of record as of August 31, 2007.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release that are "forward-looking statements" are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For example, our statements regarding our expected growth in sales from the electronic and metallic division in the coming year and our efforts to reduce overhead costs in our plastic division are forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially because of the following factors, among others, which may cause revenues and income to fall short of anticipated levels or our overhead expenses to increase: our dependence on a few major customers; vigorous competition forcing product price reductions or discounts; the timing and amount of significant orders from our relatively few significant customers; continuing increases in resin prices that cannot be passed on to customers; unexpected production delays; obsolete inventory or product returns; losses resulting from fraudulent activity of our customers or employees; labor shortages that increase labor and costs; changes in the mix of product products we manufacture and sell; adverse currency fluctuations in the renminbi and Hong Kong dollar when translated to US dollars; potential new accounting pronouncements; and the effects of travel restrictions and quarantines associated with major health problems, such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, on general economic activity.
