- Revenue in the first quarter of 2022 increased 27% to
$2.0 million from $1.6 million in the same year–ago period,
primarily due to higher demand of our custom products in the
medical market and for our standard products, offset by lower
shipments of our custom products in the consumer market. Demand in
the medical market continues to recover from the restrictive
effects of the pandemic which previously impacted our customers'
ability to install devices in hospitals, while the decrease in
shipments to our consumer market customers was primarily due to a
design change by one of our largest consumer products
customers.
- Gross margin increased to 62.3% in the current quarter from
55.7% in the year–ago quarter. Gross margin is impacted by our
sales volume, the mix of products and customers, and production
efficiencies.
- Income/loss from operations was an operating income of
$18 thousand for the first quarter of 2022, compared with an
operating loss of $60 thousand in the same period in 2021.
Operating income/loss was impacted by higher operating expenses in
the current quarter due to increased engineering and administrative
headcount and increased professional fees, and due to the prior
year having included the $186 thousand benefit from
forgiveness of the PPP loan.
- In the first quarter of 2022, after–tax net income/loss was net
income of $142 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss
of $43 thousand, or $0.01 per
diluted share, in the same year–ago period.
- Interlink ended the quarter with $8.1 million in cash and cash equivalents,
and $2.3 million in marketable
securities.
"We are pleased with our quarterly results, and we continue to
see an increase in commercial activity," said Steven N. Bronson, Chairman, President, and CEO
of Interlink Electronics. "We are committed to expanding our sales
and technical support resources to drive new customer
opportunities.
"We continue to actively pursue acquisitions that are part of
our accelerated growth plans," added Mr. Bronson.
