HOPKINTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Valpey Fisher Corporation (NASDAQ: VPF), a leader in low-noise timing solutions, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
For the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company reported an operating profit of $239,000 and net earnings of $218,000 or $.05 per share on sales of $3,547,000, compared to an operating profit of $54,000 and net earnings of $23,000 on sales of $2,798,000 for the same period last year.
For 2010, the Company reported an operating profit of $885,000 and net earnings of $623,000 or $.14 per share on sales of $14,716,000. In 2009, the Company reported an operating loss of $332,000 and a net loss of $213,000 on sales of $10,378,000 for 2009.
Michael Ferrantino Jr., the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented," We are pleased to report your management team successfully executed its plan to increase revenue in 2010. We also continued to execute our strategic plan in the area of new product development during 2010. In the past year we brought to market a series of new products in both our precision products and microwave products areas. New product development has been focused on high-growth markets including synchronous Ethernet, IEEE 1588, and wireless infrastructure."
Mr. Ferrantino added, "We saw improvement in virtually all of our financial metrics compared to 2009. For 2010, our sales increased 42% over 2009. All product lines reported sales increases over 2009, with our precision products seeing the largest increase at 74%. The increased sales had a positive effect on our gross margin which increased to 38% from 33% in 2009. During 2010 we did a great job of managing our expenses while at the same time continuing to invest in our business, increasing our investment in research and development by 99% compared to 2009 levels. We continue to be committed to developing the cutting-edge products required by our customers' future products. Our operating profit for 2010 was $885,000 compared to an operating loss of $332,000 in 2009."
"Our precision products group continued to gain print position as reference designs at several major semiconductor companies. These reference designs have lead to some significant opportunities at major OEM's whom we have had difficulty penetrating in the past. In addition, several of our timing modules have been modified for use in harsh environments allowing us to bring these products to the military markets, Mr. Ferrantino stated."
Mr. Ferrantino said, "2010 marked the first full year of our microwave products group. The group's primary focus has been to design, develop and bring to market a new line of microwave components and multichip modules utilizing semiconductor manufacturing techniques. This capability, a first for Valpey Fisher, enables the improvement of electrical performance while maintaining a competitive cost advantage. The addition of the microwave products will also allow us to provide our customers with a broader portfolio of high-performing solutions to address their existing and next generation needs."

The $236,000 increase in operating profit is after the negative impact of our $204,000 investment in marketing and development expenses incurred by our Microwave Product line that was formed in the 4th quarter of 2009. New customer orders were up $1,291,000 or 52% from the first quarter of last year. Our backlog amounts to $2,218,000 at April 4, 2010 compared to $2,023,000 at December 31, 2009 and $1,601,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2009."
"During the first quarter we saw sales increases across all of our product lines and we are gaining significant market acceptance of our Synchronous Ethernet product offering registering several design wins at major telecommunication OEMs. We have also begun sampling the first products from our Microwave Product Line," added Ferrantino.
