Koss Corporation Reports First Quarter Results
Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Koss Corporation (NASDAQ SYMBOL: KOSS), the U.S. based high-fidelity headphone company, has reported its first quarter results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Sales for the first quarter were $5,531,262 compared to $5,469,486 for the same three month period one year ago, a 1.1% increase. The three month net loss was $100,804, compared to a net loss of $94,998 for the first quarter last year. Diluted loss per common share for the quarter was $0.01, which was the same as the three month period one year ago.
"The first quarter of our fiscal year is typically the slowest quarter in terms of sales. Sales for the first quarter were lower than we expected, with some orders shifting into the beginning of the second quarter. We did have some bright spots with a new headphone driving increased sales in mass retail and new customers coming on line both domestically and in Asia. However, we are still experiencing very mixed and choppy sales with several export distributors and certain customers in the U.S.," Michael J. Koss, Chairman and CEO, told employees here today.
…
Koss Corporation markets a complete line of high-fidelity headphones, wireless Bluetooth® speakers, computer headsets, telecommunications headsets, active noise canceling headphones, wireless headphones, and compact disc recordings of American Symphony Orchestras on the Koss Classics label.
