Highlights for the second quarter included:
Commenting on the Company’s quarterly performance, MOCON’s president and chief executive officer, Robert L. Demorest said, “Overall second quarter revenue was up four percent on a year-over-year basis and up six percent sequentially. Most of the sales force disruption we had experienced during the first quarter is now behind us. Our Package Testing segment continues to experience strong demand for its products growing 13 percent year-over-year and our Industrial Analyzers and Other segments met our expectations, growing at eight percent year-over-year driven primarily by a 60 percent increase in sensor shipments to our US based OEM customers. Our Permeation segment improved sequentially by four percent and was down eight percent year-over-year which is an improvement from the first quarter’s year-over-year decline of 13 percent. Three percentage points of the second quarter year-over-year decline in Permeation was attributable to the sale of Microanalytics, while the remaining five percent was driven by European orders that were pushed to the third quarter.
Demorest added, “In conjunction with our One MOCON initiative, the integrations of our European based businesses are near completion which has changed the leadership needs in our business as a whole from one that is operationally based toward another that is designed to fuel growth through our sales strategy. As a result, we strategically eliminated two senior executive positions in our company which included our chief operating officer. We are reinvesting these dollars into our sales growth strategy with the expected additions of several new positions, one of which will be a Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. In conjunction with these changes, we recorded a $750,000 realignment charge in our second quarter of 2016 which was offset in part by a $352,000 gain on the sale of Microanalytics which was also part of our strategic realignment efforts.”

Revenue from the Package Testing segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 increased 13 percent and eight percent, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods due increased demand for leak, mixer and on-line products.
Revenue for the Permeation segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 declined by eight percent and 11 percent compared to the year-ago periods respectively. We recorded $160,000 less in odor and aroma consulting revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as a result of the sale of Microanalytics and our June 30, 2016 backlog included an additional $600,000 for European orders when compared to historical levels. In addition to the second quarter impact, the year-to-date results were further impacted by the disruption that occurred during the first quarter of 2016 as a result of a US sales force realignment.
Our Industrial Analyzers and Other segment grew eight percent and three percent year-over-year for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The growth is primarily a result of an increase in revenue from sensor and detectors of approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The increase in revenue was offset by continued softness in the oil and gas exploration markets.
Gross Profit, Operating Income and Operating Expense Commentary
For the three-months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, gross profit was 56 percent and 53 percent of revenue, and operating income was five percent and seven percent of revenue, respectively. Five percent, or $750,000, of the second quarter’s operating expenses were in realignment expenses attributable to executive changes discussed above.
The gross profit rate for our Package Testing segment increased by two percentage points to 56 percent in the current quarter, compared to 54 percent in the year ago period, due to increased volumes and process improvement initiatives. The gross profit rate for our Permeation segment increased to 60 percent from 57 percent as compared to the prior year quarter due to customer mix and a reduced cost structure to support our consulting revenue. Our Industrial Analyzers and Other segment gross profit rate for the current quarter increased by four percentage points to 48 percent compared to 44 percent in the prior year quarter due to efficiencies gained as a result of the increased in volume of OEM sensor and detector related revenue as well as product cost reduction initiatives that were introduced during the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly higher during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the year-ago periods. Cost reductions from the Company’s 2015 realignment plan were offset by increased professional fees, new hires made prior to the realignment and inflation related to personnel costs. Research and development expenses were 8 percent and 7 percent of revenue in the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is in line with the Company’s commitment to continued innovation.
