Koss Second Quarter Sales and Earnings Increase

 

Milwaukee, Wisconsin:  Koss Corporation (NASDAQ SYMBOL: KOSS), the U.S. based high-fidelity stereophone company, reported its results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2010.  Sales for the second quarter were $12,800,806 compared to $12,216,054 for the same three month period one year ago, a 5% increase.  Net income increased to $1,382,113, compared to a loss of $1,848,192 for the second quarter last year.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.18 compared with loss per share of $0.25 one year ago.

 

Sales for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were down by 4% to $22,832,940 compared with $23,830,699 for the same six month period a year ago.  Six month net income rose to $1,944,972 compared to a loss of $3,441,942 for the same six months of 2009 during which the Company’s financial statements reflected the effect of the previously reported unauthorized transactions.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.26 compared with loss per share of $0.47 one year ago.

 

“We noted some very conservative replenishment orders in the U.S. and Europe during the first six months of the fiscal year,” Michael J. Koss, President and CEO said here today.  “We are encouraged by the renewed strength of export shipments in the second quarter and with our solid net income.”

 

Koss went on to note that the quarter softened notably in the U.S. toward the end of the calendar year and speculated that U.S. retailers were watching their inventory very closely.  He also noted that the Company had sharply reduced its accounts payable balances.

 

“Overall we are very pleased with our performance,” Koss said. “We continue to monitor the retail landscape closely for any shifts in order patterns and the future threat of increased vendor costs most notably relating to rising energy prices.”

 

The Company will pay a dividend of $0.06 per share on April 15, 2011, to shareholders of record on March 31, 2011.

 

Koss Corporation markets a complete line of high-fidelity stereophones, speaker-phones, computer headsets, telecommunications headsets, active noise canceling stereophones, wireless stereophones, and compact disc recordings of American Symphony Orchestras on the Koss Classics label.
