Second Quarter Financial Results
Revenues for the second quarter of 2005 totaled $20.4 million, a 6.1% sequential increase compared to $19.2 million in the previous quarter, and a 1.4% increase compared to revenues of $20.1 million for the second quarter of 2004. Revenues from the Company's top 5 customers were $17.5 million, a 9.5% increase compared to $16.0 million in the previous quarter. During the quarter, Chengdu contributed $2.1 million in revenues.
The Company's largest customers for the first quarter (in alphabetical order) were Infineon Technologies, ON Semiconductor, Philips and ST Microelectronics. Products packaged for those customers are used in a variety of end-user applications, in particular for automotive systems, consumer electronics, communications equipment, industrial applications, home appliances and PC motherboards.
Sales of power semiconductor packages comprised 96.7% of second quarter revenues, or $19.7 million, a 6.2% sequential increase versus $18.6 million in the previous quarter.
"While we experienced a moderate level of growth during the quarter, loading trends were challenging and difficult nonetheless," said Arthur J. Young, Jr., Chairman and CEO. "On an aggregate basis, the volumes of our Philippine facilities declined by 4.6%. The decline was offset by a 5.9% increase in average selling prices, as we implemented price increases to mitigate the higher costs of commodities and raw materials. On the other hand, revenues from our Chengdu facility increased by 82.2% as a result of a 79.8% increase in loadings and 1.4% increase in average selling prices as our Chengdu facility started producing higher value packages."
Consolidated gross margin was 1.3% in the second quarter, versus (3.8)% in the previous quarter and 3.8% in the same period last year.
"The goal of establishing a revised business model more capable of optimizing assets and resources across the various business units remains our highest priority," said Young. "A business blueprint aimed at creating sufficiently robust operating conditions to contend with market swings is being developed."
"On a quarter-on-quarter basis, China benefited from improved operating leverage, with cost of goods sold expanding by a lesser 52.3% versus the 82.2% increase in sales," said Young. "Sales in China contributed positively to consolidated gross profits in the second quarter."
Operating expenses were higher by 9.6% to $2.5 million in the second quarter, due primarily to a 140.9% increase in Chengdu freight expenses and secondarily to additional technical support extended to Chengdu to support the ramp up in loadings. Research and development costs remained stable at $0.3 million. The activities related to the Company's QFN (Quad, Flat, No-Lead) Package is transitioning from research and development, the bulk of which occurred in prior quarters, to customer qualification and configuration activities prior to the formal introduction of this package by our customers into their respective markets.
Operating loss margin was (10.9)% in the second quarter versus (15.6)% in the previous quarter and (10.8)% in the same period last year.
"We are encouraged that the cost reduction measures in the Philippines and expansion in loadings in China resulted in a noticeable reduction in operating loss," said Young.
EBITDA margin was 10.9% for the second quarter, up from 7.1% in the previous quarter.
Second quarter net loss was $(2.7) million or $(0.21) per outstanding share, compared to net loss of $(3.5) million or $(0.26) per outstanding share in the previous quarter.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash and cash equivalents improved to $3.9 million in the second quarter, versus $2.2 million at the end of 2004. During the quarter, the Company's cash position was bolstered by the issuance of a 4-year $7.0 million senior exchangeable subordinated note to an affiliate of its majority shareholder, Merrill Lynch Global Emerging Markets Partners, L.P.
Capital expenditures totaled $6.7 million year-to-date, which was partially offset by $1 million in proceeds from the sale of the Company's unutilized third site in the Philippines. Discussions are ongoing with third parties for the disposal of other unutilized properties and equipment.
The long-term liability account of $8.8 million as of June 30, 2005 represents the carrying amount of the Exchangeable Notes issued in July 2003 and June 2005, net of the amortization of discount representing the embedded conversion feature of the Note.
As of June 30, 2005, tangible book value was $2.67 per share on 13,289,525 outstanding shares.
Business Outlook
Commenting on the Company's going-forward strategies, Young said: "While we have made strides in lowering the Company's cost base in the Philippines, there is much more that can be done to return us to profitability. To this end, we are pleased to announce the appointment of Gordon J. Stevenson as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. He joined us on August 1, 2005. Gordon has over 18 years experience in developing and executing strategies to return operating units to profitability in various Philips assignments in Hazel Grove (UK), Manila (Philippines), Surabaya (Indonesia) and Shanghai (China). A business blueprint will be developed in the third quarter, for implementation in the fourth quarter and beyond."
