For the three months ended December 31, 2010 (second quarter of FY2011), total revenue including royalty income declined 2.6% to approximately $2.1 million, compared with approximately $2.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009. Sales of the Company's specialty contact lenses declined 1.5%, while royalty income decreased 4.8%, when compared with the prior-year quarter. The Company believes that the continued impact of a soft U.S. economy upon the specialty contact lens market and new product offerings by competitors were the primary reasons for lower sales and royalty income in the second quarter of FY2011, when compared with the year-earlier quarter.
Pretax income decreased 20.6% to $519,659 in the second quarter of FY2011, compared with $654,071 in the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The reduction in pretax income was primarily attributable to lower sales and royalty income and an increase in interest expense related to the Company's loan with Regions Bank, which financed the repurchase of 48% of the Company's previously outstanding shares in January 2010; partially offset by lower administrative and sales and marketing ("SG&A") expenses.
The Company reported net income of $350,237 in the most recent quarter, a decrease of 17.7% when compared with net income of $425,308 in last year's second fiscal quarter. The Company earned $0.15 per diluted share in the second quarter of FY2011, which represented an increase of 66.7% versus earnings of $0.09 per diluted share in the second quarter of FY2010. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 2,369,354 common shares in the FY2011 second quarter, versus 4,557,852 diluted shares in the prior-year quarter. The 48% decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding resulted from the Company's repurchase of 2,188,861 outstanding shares of common stock on January 20, 2010.
"Sales of our custom soft lens category increased significantly in the second quarter as our C-Vue Advanced Toric Multifocal lenses continue to gain traction in the marketplace, almost completely offsetting declines in our disposable lens category," observed Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "The C-Vue Advanced Toric Multifocal was introduced in the first quarter of Fiscal 2010 with a free trial option, and sales have increased as eye care professionals convert trial fits to revenue-generating sales. We expect a similar phenomenon over time with our recently introduced C-Vue Advanced® HydraVUE™ line of silicone hydrogel custom contact lenses for monthly replacement, which are completely customizable and feature a risk-free trial program and exceptional deliverability."
"Although sales and royalties were lower than prior-year levels in the second quarter, we are encouraged that the 1.5% decline in our specialty contact lens sales represented an improvement relative to a 9.2% decrease in the first quarter, while the 4.8% decline in royalty income was much less severe than the 14.0% first quarter decrease. Longer-term, we believe that the specialty segment of the contact lens market will benefit significantly as the presbyopic population continues to grow at a faster rate than America's population as a whole, and we have positioned our Company to benefit from such trends by providing independent practitioners with specialty contact lens options that contribute to patient retention and practice profitability," concluded Pecora.
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net sales including royalty income decreased 7% to approximately $4.3 million, compared with approximately $4.6 million in the first half of FY2010. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a 5.7% decline in sales of the Company's various types of specialty contact lenses and a 9.4% decline in royalty income.
Pretax income decreased 29.8% to $1,013,823 in the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared with $1,444,801 in the prior-year period. The decrease in pretax income was primarily attributable to lower sales and royalty income and an increase in interest expense related to the Company's loan with Regions Bank, partly offset by a modest reduction in SG&A expenses.
The Company reported net income of $682,086 for the first half of FY2011, a decrease of 25.8% when compared with net income of $919,396 in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The Company earned $0.29 per diluted share in the first six months of FY2011, which represented an increase of 45.0% when compared with earnings of $0.20 per diluted share in the first six months of FY2010. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 2,369,354 common shares in the six months ended December 31, 2010, versus 4,556,969 diluted shares in the prior-year period.
The Company recently declared its 18th consecutive quarterly cash dividend, in the amount of $0.09 per share of common stock outstanding. The amount and frequency of future dividends will depend upon earnings, cash flow, and other aspects of the Company's business as determined and declared by the Board of Directors.
