Emerson Radio Corp. Reports Full Year Fiscal 2012 and Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2012 Results
(firmenpresse) - HACKENSACK, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 07/13/12 -- Emerson Radio Corp. (NYSE MKT: MSN) (NYSE Amex: MSN) today reported financial results for its full year and fourth quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Net revenues for fiscal year 2012 were $163.3 million, a decrease of $37.5 million, or 18.7%, as compared to fiscal year 2011 net revenues of $200.8 million. The decline in year-over-year net revenues was driven by a $31.6 million, or 17.7%, decline in net sales of houseware products, which was the result of lower year-over-year sales of microwave ovens (due primarily to the discontinuation of one model by one of the Company's largest retail customers beginning in December 2010), toaster ovens, wine coolers and coffee makers, partly offset by higher year-over-year net sales of compact refrigerators, and a $5.0 million, or 32.2%, decline in net sales of audio products. Licensing revenues for fiscal year 2012 were $6.3 million, a $1.0 million, or 14.2% decrease from the $7.3 million of licensing revenues for the fiscal year 2011 due to lower year-over-year sales by the Company's licensees of branded products under license from the Company and fewer active licensees during fiscal 2012 as compared to fiscal 2011.
Net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased by $14.2 million, or 34.6%, to $26.9 million as compared to net revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 of $41.1 million. The decline in year-over-year net revenues for the fourth fiscal quarter was driven primarily by a $13.3 million, or 36.4%, decline in net sales of houseware products, which was the result of lower year-over-year net sales in all product categories, and a $0.5 million, or 18.1%, decline in net sales of audio products. Licensing revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were $1.5 million, a $0.5 million, or 23.8%, decrease from the $2.0 million of licensing revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 due to lower year-over-year sales by the Company's licensees of branded products under license from the Company.
Operating income for the fiscal year 2012 was $11.9 million, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 37.2%, from operating income of $18.9 million for fiscal year 2011 due primarily to a combination of lower net revenues, higher product costs as a percent of net revenues and higher SG&A expenses. Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $1.9 million, as compared to operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 of $3.2 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 42.0%, due to lower net revenues and higher SG&A expenses.
Net income for fiscal year 2012 was $10.6 million, as compared to $15.9 million for fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 33.2%. Diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2012 were $0.39, as compared to $0.59 for fiscal year 2011, a decrease of $0.20 per diluted share, or 33.9%. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 was $2.4 million, as compared to $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, which included a one-time $1.8 million gain on a settlement of litigation. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were $0.09, as compared to $0.10 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, a decrease of $0.01, or 10.0%.
Duncan Hon, Chief Executive Officer of Emerson Radio, commented, "Our fiscal year 2012 performance was disappointing and a direct result of both the challenging and highly competitive sales environment within which we operate and higher year-over-year product costs that result from the continuing appreciation of the renminbi and increases in costs of production in China. Looking forward, we anticipate that these factors are likely to persist throughout fiscal year 2013."
