SALT LAKE CITY, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IOMED, Inc. today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2007, which ended March 31, 2007.
Third Quarter Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, sales were up almost 4% over the previous fiscal quarter. On a year-to-year basis, third quarter sales were $2,129,000 compared with $2,688,000. The decreased sales were primarily due to reduced unit sales volume stemming from the loss of Compex Technologies, Inc., which was acquired by IOMED's largest competitor, as a distributor. Sales were up 3.7% over the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 58% compared with 59% a year ago.
Total operating expenses of $1,328,000 decreased 20% from the prior-year quarter. Selling, general and administrative costs were down 27% from a year ago due primarily to a significant reduction in legal expenses and to lower costs on reduced sales. Research and development costs increased 10% due to higher outside contract services related to the Company's development and pending commercial launch of the Hybresis(TM) product.
IOMED reported net income of $18,000, or nil per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 compared with net income of $15,000, or nil per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
Nine-Month Results
For the nine months of fiscal 2007, IOMED reported sales of $6,694,000, a decrease of 19% over a year ago and primarily reflecting lost volume from Compex. Gross margin fell one percentage point during the period to 59%. The net loss for the nine months of fiscal 2007 was $608,000, or $0.08 per diluted share. Included in the net loss was $813,000 of litigation expenses recognized in the first six months of the fiscal year. Excluding these litigation expenses, the Company would have reported $205,000 of net income despite reduced sales.
IOMED reported negative operating cash flow of $496,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, due primarily to the impact of lower unit sales volume and litigation expenses. At March 31, 2007, IOMED had $7.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $8.9 million of working capital, $40,000 of long- term debt, and $10.4 million of total equity.
