MILWAUKEE, WI--(Marketwire - Apr 20, 2011) - Koss Corporation (NASDAQ: KOSS), the U.S. based high-fidelity stereophone company, has reported its results for the third quarter ending March 31, 2011. Sales for the third quarter were $8,419,663 compared to $8,654,630 for the same three month period one year ago, a 3% decrease. Net income increased to $640,962, compared to $293,167 for the third quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.09 compared with $0.04 one year ago.

Sales for the nine months ending March 31, 2011 trended down by 4% to $31,252,603 compared with $32,485,330 for the same nine month period a year ago. Nine month net income rose to $2,585,934 compared to a loss of $3,148,775 for the same nine months of 2010. Diluted earnings per share were $0.35 compared with loss per share of $0.43 one year ago.

"We continue to observe soft re-orders from our largest domestic U.S. retailers," Michael J. Koss, President and CEO, said. "Year over year, we can track the drop in sales to a single account that we landed in 2010 and their initial opening order to stock their shelves. We did not land a similar account of that magnitude during this year's third quarter."

Koss went on to note that Europe was continuing to make a solid contribution and hoped that the trend would continue for the balance of the fiscal year. He also noted that the Company was beginning to feel the effects of rising prices for raw materials driven by the weakness of the dollar and soaring energy costs.

"Our gross margins for the quarter actually strengthened," Koss said. "This is the result of a strong customer mix and model mix that helped cover increases in freight and energy. But it is clear that inflation is beginning to put pressure on our product costs and we have been working diligently to respond to the coming threat."

The Company will pay a dividend of $0.06 cents per share on July 15, 2011, to shareholders of record on June 30, 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.
