SAN DIEGO, May 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSonics
Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON), the provider of verykool®
wireless handset solutions and tablets, today announced results for
its first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
"It was an extremely challenging quarter," said Joseph Ram,
President and CEO of InfoSonics. "The Chinese New Year fell in the middle of the
quarter, which caused delivery delays from our suppliers, in
addition to generally soft sales channels that were still clearing
promotional inventories from year end. Although operating
expenses were down 27% from the prior year, we still sustained a
significant loss. In this competitive environment, we are
taking actions to further reduce expenses, improve our operating
efficiencies and product pricing and refine our product
offerings."
Net sales for the first quarter of 2017 amounted to $6.2 million, which represented a $3.2 million, or 34%, decrease from
$9.4 million for the first quarter of
2016. The decrease reflects a lack of sales to carrier
customers in both Central and South
America, as well as our exit late last year from the U.S.
market. These declines were partially offset by increased
sales to Miami-based distributors
selling to Latin America
retailers.
Gross profit in the 2017 first quarter was $322,000, a 73% decrease compared to $1,178,000 for the first quarter of 2016.
Our gross profit margin as a percent of sales in the 2017 first
quarter decreased to 5.2% compared to 12.5% for the 2016 first
quarter. These reductions were caused by price discounts
given to customers in a challenging market, price protection given
to certain big box retailers in order to promote sell-through, and
the overall low level of sales that made it difficult to absorb
fixed overhead costs.
Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2017 were
$1,362,000, a 27% decrease compared
to $1,857,000 in the 2016 first
quarter. The decrease largely reflects expense reduction
actions we implemented during the second and third quarters of
2016. The most significant decreases were in wages and
benefits, marketing, product certification and professional
fees.
The net loss for the 2017 first quarter was $1,104,000, $0.08
per share, compared to net loss of $903,000, $0.06 per
share, in the first quarter of 2016.
At March 31, 2017, we had
$1.3 million in cash, $9.3 million of net working capital and no
outstanding funded debt.

can be significant from one quarter to another. Except for
the factual statements made herein, the information contained in
this news release consists of forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict. Words and expressions reflecting
optimism, satisfaction or disappointment with current prospects, as
well as words such as "believes," "hopes," "intends," "estimates,"
"expects," "projects," "plans," "anticipates" and variations
thereof, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking
statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of performance and our actual results could differ materially from
those contained in such statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, without limitation:
(1) the ability of the Company to restore and maintain
profitability; (2) our ability to have access to adequate
capital to fund operations, including the availability of vendor
credit and availability under the Company's bank line of credit;
(3) intense competition internationally, including competition
from alternative business models, such as manufacturer-to-carrier
sales, which may lead to reduced prices, lower sales, lower gross
margins, extended payment terms with customers, increased capital
investment and interest costs, bad debt risks and product supply
shortages; (4) our ability to secure adequate supply of
competitive products on a timely basis and on commercially
reasonable terms; (5) our ability to successfully introduce new
products into target markets, increase sales and improve our gross
margins despite intense competition; (6) foreign exchange rate
fluctuations, devaluation of a foreign currency, adverse
governmental controls or actions including a possible protective
import tariff on Chinese products or weakening of U.S. trade
relations with Mexico, political
or economic instability, or disruption of a foreign market,
including, without limitation, the imposition, creation, increase
or modification of tariffs, taxes, duties, levies and other charges
and other related risks of our international operations which could
significantly increase selling prices of our products to our
customers and end-users and decrease profitability; (7) the
ability to attract new sources of profitable business from
expansion of products or services including iOT devices,
applications and cloud-based solutions, or risks associated with
entry into new markets, including geographies, products and
services; (8) an interruption or failure of our information
systems or subversion of access or other system controls may result
in a significant loss of business, assets, or competitive
information; (9) significant changes in supplier terms and
relationships or shortages in product supply, including, but not
limited to, those caused by recent and continuing industry
consolidation of component suppliers; (10) loss of business
from one or more significant customers; (11) customer and
geographical accounts receivable concentration risk and other
related risks; (12) rapid product improvement and
technological change resulting in inventory obsolescence;
(13) uncertain political and economic conditions
internationally, including terrorist or military actions;
(14) the loss of a key executive officer or other key
employees and the integration of new employees; (15) changes
in consumer demand for multimedia wireless handset products and
features; (16) our failure to adequately adapt to industry
changes and to manage potential growth and/or contractions;
(17) seasonal customer buying patterns; and (18) the
impact of any litigation for or against the Company, including
claims for infringement of intellectual property. Reference is also
made to other factors detailed from time to time in our periodic
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
release and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or
circumstances after the date of this release.
