Company Delivers Continued Profitability, Secures Value Hearing Health Channel Partner

IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ:IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Highlights:

  • Net sales of $17.1 million were in line with expectations and increased 3 percent sequentially;
  • The company continued to deliver profitability with net income of $506,000, or $0.08 per diluted share;
  • IntriCon’s Medtronic business posted record quarterly revenue; and,
  • The company entered into a two-year supply agreement with AudioNova International B.V. (AudioNova), one of Europe’s leading hearing aid providers, operating more than 1,300 retail stores in 11 countries.

Financial ResultsFor the 2015 second quarter, the company reported net sales of $17.1 million, compared to $17.5 million in the prior-year period. IntriCon posted net income of $506,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus net income of $813,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the 2014 second quarter.

“We are pleased with our second-quarter performance as we continue to deliver profitability while building infrastructure required to secure high-potential growth opportunities,” said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. "While our Medical business fueled the sequential revenue growth, we made significant strides in our strategy to drive business in value hearing health by solidifying yet another prominent partner, AudioNova, to deliver high-quality, low-cost hearing devices to the European market.”

Gross profit margins were 26.8 percent compared to 27.3 percent in the prior-year second quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower overall sales volumes.

Six-Month ResultsFor the 2015 six-month period, IntriCon reported net sales of $33.7 million and net income of $790,000, or $0.13 per diluted share. This compares to 2014 six-month net sales of $34.8 million and net income of $1.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. Included in 2014 six-month results was a net loss from discontinued operations of $270,000, or $0.05 per diluted share.

Gross profit margins decreased to 26.4 percent from 27.4 percent for the prior-year, six-month period. Again, this was primarily due to the second-quarter factors detailed above.

Business UpdateHearing health sales declined 12 percent during the second quarter from the prior-year quarter, primarily due to one-time decreases in the conventional hearing health channel. This was partially offset by gains in targeted value hearing health initiatives. While hearing health sales are down from the prior year, IntriCon remains focused on building the infrastructure required to secure other notable partners in the second half of 2015 and beyond, that can benefit from the outcomes-based hearing health model we offer. The company anticipates year-over-year hearing health sales gains driven by new value hearing health programs that are anticipated to ramp in the second half of 2015.

Said Gorder, “We continue to make strides in the value hearing health market. Through our new supply agreement, AudioNova will offer technically advanced hearing devices, manufactured by IntriCon. AudioNova's smartsound brand is based on IntriCon's Audion™ amplifier, and offers technically advanced features at value hearing health price points. AudioNova has begun rollout of the smartsound brand in the Netherlands and intends to expand the program to other targeted European countries in the future. IntriCon expects to begin shipping product in the third quarter.

“In addition, we continue to work with the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS) on product approval, and just this week we received correspondence that the NHS Audiology Supplies Group (ASG) has completed their evaluation of our products and software. While we have yet to receive formal feedback, we are pleased with how our products and software preformed during the evaluation, and are encouraged by the informal feedback. We anticipate formal feedback in the third quarter. The NHS is widely seen as the most efficient hearing aid delivery system in the world, supplying an estimated 1.4 million hearing aids annually. We believe we are well positioned to serve their needs, and we’re developing new technologies to further enhance delivery efficiencies and product standards in the future.”

Sales in IntriCon’s medical business increased 8 percent in the 2015 second quarter, primarily driven by IntriCon’s largest customer, Medtronic. Sales to Medtronic for the second quarter were at record levels. The gains were driven by the MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter and related accessories sales, which are incorporated in Medtronic’s MiniMed 530G insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring system. IntriCon anticipates Medtronic revenue gains throughout 2015.

Second-quarter 2015 professional audio communication sales declined 16 percent from the prior-year period. The anticipated decrease was due to the conclusion of the company's Singapore Government contract in 2014. IntriCon will continue to leverage its core technologies in professional audio communication to support existing customers, as well as seek related hearing health and medical product opportunities.

Looking AheadConcluded Gorder, “I am encouraged with the progress we made in the first half of the year. We have focused a significant amount of resources advancing our technology portfolio, building our value hearing health infrastructure and securing key channel partners. With clear evidence of an emerging value hearing health market opportunity and new partnerships coming on board, coupled with our strong Medtronic business, we are well positioned for future growth. We expect our momentum to build throughout the year and are on track to achieve sequential revenue growth in the third quarter and higher sales year-over-year for 2015.”
