FiberCore Reports Q3 2001 Results, Expects Q4 Rebound
11/14/2001 4:12:00 PM
CHARLTON, Mass., Nov 14, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- FiberCore, Inc. (FBCE) , a leading manufacturer and global supplier of optical fiber and preform for the telecommunication and data communications markets, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2001.
Sales in the third quarter of 2001 decreased by 33% to $8.8 million from $13.2 million in the year ago period, in line with recently revised guidance. Sales were negatively impacted at the Company`s Xtal FiberCore Brasil S.A. facility by a breach of contract situation with one of its larger South American customers, which has since been resolved, as well as a general softening in the South American market. Sales for FiberCore Jena ("FCJ") increased by 36% over the same period in 2000. The Company reported a net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2001. This compares to a net profit of approximately $0.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the year ago quarter. The impact of foreign exchange losses penalized net income by approximately $1.6 million, or $0.03 per share, in the third quarter of 2001. These losses were due to a weakening of the Brazilian Real in the latter portion of the quarter that partially reflected the uncertainty in the financial situation in Argentina. The losses were primarily attributable to outstanding short-term loan balances. The Real has since strengthened and a portion of this loss could be offset if the current exchange rate remains in effect through year-end.
Gross profit in the quarter was $3.1 million, or 35% of sales, compared to $3.9 million, or 29% of sales, in the year ago period. FiberCore`s gross margin continued to benefit from year-over-year manufacturing process improvements and strong multimode shipments from FCJ.
Operating margin was 3.8% for the quarter, a significant decline from the first six months of 2001, primarily as a result of reduced volumes. R&D spending increased by 115% to $502,000 in the third quarter from $233,000 in the prior year period, driven in part by spending on the Company`s recently patented Plasma Outside Vapor Deposition (POVD) process as well as other manufacturing initiatives.
For the first nine months of 2001, sales increased by 87% to $43.1 million from $23.1 million in the first nine months of 2000. The prior year period includes only four months of sales from Xtal. Excluding Xtal, the increase in sales for the period was 41%. Net income for the first nine months of 2001 was $3.8 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.11 per share. Included in the prior year period is non-cash, interest charges of $5.4 million, or $0.11 per share.
Dr. Aslami, President and CEO commented, "The third quarter was difficult for FiberCore as we were not able to escape the softness that has been prevalent throughout our industry for most of 2001. With the sudden reduction in capital expenditures by the telecom carriers and the related high levels of inventory currently maintained by the major fiber manufacturers, we experienced declines in both demand and pricing during the quarter, particularly in our single-mode fiber business in South America. This, along with the customer situation in South America, led to increased inventories at Xtal and temporary reductions in production."
"However, we expect that the third quarter will be the low point for FiberCore," said Dr. Aslami. "We have been working diligently to shift sales into other regions of the world where demand for our products remains strong, albeit at lower prices. We are seeing success in these efforts. We anticipate trimming inventories to more normal levels over the next few months and expect our sales to rebound in the fourth quarter. This should also translate into improved results compared to third quarter levels and we foresee returning operations to full capacity in 2002."
Dr. Aslami continued, "The softening in the South American market has also impacted our local financing efforts. As a result of the circumstances, we have slowed the planned capacity expansion at Xtal until the market stabilizes further. However, we will continue to invest in equipment to improve our manufacturing processes and reduce our production costs."
"At September 30, 2001, our backlog was over $350 million, up from $320 million at the end of the second quarter and $190 million at year-end 2000. This increase includes some contracts that extend out through 2005 and provides a level of confidence in our business projections and capacity planning. As the only independent fiber supplier, we continue to be viewed as a favored supply source of independent cablers around the world. These two factors as well as our new technology initiatives and recently strengthened management team make us confident in our ability to continue to execute on our long-term growth plan," added Dr. Aslami.
"For 2001, we still expect revenue to increase between 50% and 65% over 2000 levels. As the industry works to better equalize supply and demand, prices should begin to stabilize in the coming months. While lower fiber prices will continue to impact 2002 at the gross margin level, this will be partially offset by our technology and manufacturing process improvements. Despite the current industry slowdown, we continue to anticipate strong growth in 2002 and beyond," concluded Dr. Aslami.
FiberCore, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets single-mode and multimode optical fiber preforms and optical fiber for the telecommunications and data communications markets. In addition to its standard multimode and single-mode fiber, FiberCore also offers various grades of fiber for use in laser-based systems up to 10 gigabits/sec, to help guarantee high bandwidths and to suit the needs of Feeder Loop (also known as Metropolitan Area Network), Fiber-to-the Curb, Fiber-to-the Home and Fiber-to-the Desk applications.
