Zoom(R) Telephonics Reports Results for the Second Quarter of 2013

2013-07-31 17:16 ET - News Release

BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/31/13

Zoom Telephonics, Inc. ("Zoom") (OTCQB: ZMTP), a leading manufacturer of modems and other communication products, today reported net sales of $3.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 ("Q2 2013"), down 21.7% from $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Zoom reported net income of $49 thousand or $0.01 per share for Q2 2013 compared to a net loss of $211 thousand or $0.03 per share for Q2 2012, as Zoom's gross profit increased and overall expenses decreased.

Gross profit was $1.03 million or 34.5% of net sales in Q2 2013, up from $0.92 million or 24.0% of net sales in Q2 2012. In Q2 2013 Zoom resolved two pricing disputes, one customer and one supplier related, resulting in increased net sales of $53 thousand and increased gross profit of $247 thousand. In addition, Zoom benefitted from improved cost of goods for one of its highest volume cable modems.

Operating expenses were $0.97 million or 32.3% of net sales in Q2 2013, down from $1.12 million or 29.3% of net sales in Q2 2012. Selling expenses decreased $101 thousand to $400 thousand from Q2 2012 to Q2 2013 due primarily to lower costs for freight and sales commissions. General and administrative expenses increased $55 thousand to $354 thousand from Q2 2012 to Q2 2013 due primarily to increased loan-related expenses and legal fees. Research and development expenses decreased $107 thousand to $214 thousand from Q2 2012 to Q2 2013 due primarily to reduced certification and software consulting costs.

Zoom's cash balance on June 30, 2013 was $44 thousand, down $152 thousand from December 31, 2012. Zoom's $0.4 million decrease in current liabilities and $0.3 million loss for the first half of 2013 were the main reasons for the decrease in cash. This was partially offset by Zoom's $0.5 million decrease in net inventory. Zoom's current ratio was 2.4 on June 30, 2013.

"Q2 2013 showed a number of positives, including positive net income, improved gross margin, lower expenses, and positive sales momentum for our cable modems," said Frank Manning, Zoom's President and CEO. "We hope to continue our cable modem momentum; and we hope to benefit from the fact that our biggest competitor is now owned by Arris, which is branding its cable modems at some major retailers as Arris Motorola rather than Motorola. We plan to continue expansion of our cable modem line and to introduce a new mobile broadband modem/router. Our new line of ZoomGuard™ wireless sensors and controls is still not shipping, but we expect to being shipping in September. Information about ZoomGuard™ is available at www.zoomtel.com/zoomguard1. Zoom's rights offering materials were mailed to our shareholders last week, and we intend to use any proceeds received in August for working capital and to support the development of ZoomGuard."
