From Jul 2019 to Jul 2024
MANILA, Philippines, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PSi Technologies Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ:PSIT), a leading independent provider of assembly and test services for the power semiconductor market, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007:
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
The fourth quarter revenue totaled $23.5 million, an increase of 4.3% as compared to $22.5 million in the previous quarter, and a decline of 5.6% as compared to the same quarter in 2006. The increase in sales over third quarter was largely driven by a steady increase in our standard package for high power, medium current and fast-switching power devices.
The top five customers for the fourth quarter of 2007 (in alphabetical order) were Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors, ON Semiconductors, Power Integrations, and ST Microelectronics. The products assembled and tested for these customers are used in various end user applications, such as automotive systems, consumer electronics, communications equipment, industrial applications, home appliances and PC motherboards.
The cost of sales increased from $21.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $22.7 million in the fourth quarter. The increase is attributable to raw materials and the strong Philippine Peso. The higher cost of raw materials in the fourth quarter was largely driven by the increase in copper, gold and oil-based materials, and an increase in sales volume of packages with a higher raw materials component. As a result, gross profit was $0.8 million in the fourth quarter, down from $1.2 million during the third quarter.
Operating expenses were higher by 8.8% in the fourth quarter of 2007, amounting to $2.6 million compared to $2.4 million in the previous quarter. Fourth quarter operating expenses included $0.2 million of employee separation/restructuring costs and a $0.3 million provision for disputed purchase orders. Net Other Expenses for the fourth quarter increased to $1.5 million from $0.9 million during the third quarter, due to the continued appreciation of the Philippine peso.
Net loss increased to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter from $2.1 million in the third quarter.
2007 Full Year Financial Results
Revenues were $93.3 million in 2007, representing an increase of 4.0% over revenues of $89.7 million excluding revenue from discontinued operations for the same period last year.
In 2007, the continued appreciation of the Philippine currency against the U.S. dollar and an overall increase in the prices of raw materials, such as copper, gold and oil based materials had negatively affected our gross profit. The Philippine peso, on the average, has appreciated by 18.8%. Copper prices have increased by an average of 33%, from $5.3/kg in 2006 to $7.05/kg in 2007. These external factors weighed on the Company's financial operations during 2007. The cost reduction initiatives and productivity improvement programs implemented during the year has partly reduced the negative financial impact of these external factors.
In 2007, gross profit increased to $4.1 million, a 10.8% increase over gross profit of $3.7 million in 2006. The operating expenses decreased to $9.3 million in 2007 from $10.6 million in 2006 due to managements focus on efficiency and on driving cost reductions. The foreign exchange loss partly offset the efficiency gains, resulting in an improved net loss of $9.97 million in 2007, down from $11.6 million in 2006.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.9 million as of December 31, 2007, compared to $3.3 million as of December 31, 2006. The increase in cash is largely attributable to improved collections and reduced inventories.
New acquisitions in property, plant and equipment totaled $3.3 million in 2007. These expenditures are mostly related to the purchase of machineries and equipment to improve capacity and support ramp up for new products.
Total current liabilities decreased by $4.4 million, from $37.8 million as of December 31, 2006 to $33.4 million as of December 31, 2007, mainly due to payment of trade and capital liabilities.
Non-current liabilities account includes the carrying amount of $6.8 million Exchangeable Notes issued in July 2003 and June 2005, net of discount representing the embedded conversion feature of the Note.
Business Outlook
Arthur J. Young, Jr., Chairman and CEO said, "During the fourth quarter, we were faced with the challenges related to product mix changes and the continuing appreciation of the Philippine Peso. Given these challenges, we continue to enhance our focus on productivity and cost reduction measures, in anticipation of a seasonally flat market during the first quarter. We have seen and identified areas of growth in our company that we are actively pursuing. Specifically, these are in the power management segment of our QFN and Single Gauge DPAK family of packages. We have done strategic hiring, such as our new VP of Marketing and Sales based in the United States, as well as our new Taiwan marketing organization to support the new areas of growth. Our initiatives have shown very positive developments though we continue to be cautiously optimistic given the current worldwide market situation."
