IntriCon Corporation Reports Preliminary Second-Quarter Results

ARDEN HILLS, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today reported preliminary results for its second quarter ending, June 30, 2016.

“While we are disappointed in our results, we believe that this is purely a timing issue beyond our control”

The company expects second-quarter net sales of approximately $16.8 million, versus $17.1 million in prior-year second quarter. IntriCon previously said that net sales would be consistent with 2016 first-quarter levels. The second-quarter net loss is anticipated to be in the range of $(1.3) million to $(1.5) million, or $(0.19) to $(0.22) per diluted share. Included in the loss is approximately $350,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, of both one-time corporate and non-operating charges. This compares to net income of $506,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the 2015 second quarter.

“While we are disappointed in our results, we believe that this is purely a timing issue beyond our control,” said Mark Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. “Sales were primarily impacted by lower revenue from our largest customer as they manage the transition of their pending product approval and launch. We continue to make progress building the infrastructure required to secure high-potential growth opportunities in value hearing health, and the long-term outlook for our business remains healthy.”

IntriCon will provide final second-quarter results and third-quarter guidance during its regularly scheduled earnings release and second-quarter conference call scheduled for the week of July 25.
