Advanced Photonix, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2010 Results
Gross profit margins resist downward pressure despite recession's revenue drop
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Photonix, Inc.® (NYSE Amex: API) (the "Company") today reported its third quarter fiscal 2010 results ending December 25, 2009.
Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended December 25, 2009
- Net sales for the quarter were $4.6 million, a decrease of $3 million, or 40%, compared to revenues for the third quarter ended December 26, 2008. The decrease was broad based across four of its five markets.
- Gross profit margin for the first nine months was 42% compared to 45% for the prior year nine month period, despite a 32% drop in revenue when compared to the record revenues in the first nine months of last year. Strong gross margins reflect the results of company-wide cost reduction initiatives and prior years' facilities consolidation activities.
- GAAP net loss for the quarter was $1,344,000, or $.05 per diluted share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $359,000, or $.01 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 26, 2008. GAAP net loss year to date was $2,832,000 or $.12 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $538,000, or $.02 per diluted share, for the prior year period.
- The Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $921,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP net income of $261,000, or $.01 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter ended December 26, 2008. The Company reported year to date Non-GAAP net loss of $1,058,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP income of $1,434,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the comparable prior year period.
- On an EBITDA basis (which is defined as GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), the Company reported EBITDA of a negative $646,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to positive EBITDA of $591,000 for the quarter ended December 26, 2008. For the year to date, the Company reported negative EBITDA of $312,000 as compared to positive EBITDA of $2,183,000 for the comparable prior year period.
Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The first nine months of the year have been negatively impacted by the recessionary environment and this quarter was hit exceptionally hard. Our proactive actions in making the necessary cost reduction steps and consolidating our facilities have paid off and helped minimize the financial impact. We continue to expect the balance of the year to be challenging, but believe we have hit the bottom of the revenue decline and expect to slowly return to growth driven mainly by our HSOR and Terahertz product platforms. We do not anticipate top line revenue to meet our 2009 guidance, predominantly due to the continued softness in capital expenditures resulting from the recession. Our new Terahertz contract for the F-35 announced last month will strengthen our application product development in the aerospace and industrial markets and we will continue to develop the next generation 100G HSOR products that will be shipping in the coming quarters. While the recession's impact on our revenues has been severe this year, we expect to resume our organic growth in FY2011 when capital expenditures begin to return to normal levels."

Forward-looking Statements:
The information contained herein includes forward looking statements that are based on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable but are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks including, but not limited to, risks associated with the move of our wafer fabrication facilities, technological obsolescence of existing product lines and technological obstacles which may prevent or slow the development and/or manufacture of new products, limited (or slower than anticipated) customer acceptance of new products which have been and are being developed by the Company and a decline in the general demand for optoelectronic products.
