Koss 4th Quarter EPS Up 15%
Company Posts 14% Increase in Net Income: Net Sales Increase 7%
Year End Sets Net Sales as Second Only to Record in 2007
Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Koss Corporation (NASDAQ SYMBOL: KOSS), the U.S. based high fidelity
stereophone company, has announced quarterly earnings for its fourth quarter fiscal year period
ending June 30, 2007.
Sales for the fourth quarter rose 7% to $11,052,884 compared to $10,283,703 for the same period one
year ago. Net income increased 14% in the fourth quarter to $1,425,948 compared to $1,249,609 for
same quarter in 2006. Fourth quarter diluted earnings per share jumped 15% to $0.38 compared with
$0.33 in the fourth quarter one year ago.
We are very pleased with the sales performance of the final quarter of our fiscal year, Michael
J. Koss, President and CEO, told employees here today. We made advances this quarter against last
year and are especially pleased with the renewed improvements we saw in Europe.
Koss went on to explain that sales in Europe had experienced a 45% increase in volume in the fourth
quarter compared to the fourth quarter in 2006.
Sales did reflect some strengthening in domestic U.S. retail orders, but still reflected
reductions in shipments to automotive companies, Koss said. Sales to U.S. retail and to Europe
were able to offset the automotive declines for the quarter.
Michael Koss elaborated that the increases in export sales outside of North America had been
sustained for the fifth consecutive fiscal year with increases of 15% in 2003, 72% in 2004, 82% in
2005, 43% in 2006 and 27% in 2007.
Sales for the twelve months were off against the previous years record by 9% to $46,201,858
compared to $50,891,637 for the same period one year ago. Net income for the twelve months fell
17% to $5,156,520 compared to $6,222,191 for the same period one year ago. Diluted earnings per
share for the twelve months declined by 15% to $1.38 compared with $1.63 one year ago.
The sales decline for the fiscal year is linked primarily to U.S. car manufacturers who reduced
production of their models which feature our rear seat entertainment headphones as part of the
cars original equipment, Michael Koss said. A full 85% of the reduction in our annual sales for
2007 can be traced to reductions in volumes for two automotive customers. This reduction in their
production has accounted for nearly four million dollars in reduced net sales over the course of
the Companys fiscal year.
Michael Koss then explained that the Companys net income had also come under some pressure during
the year, but was pleased with the final quarter and the year end totals.
The Company invested close to a million dollars in fiscal year 2007 to shore up intellectual
patents and trademarks, as well as to conduct new research and develop prototypes for a new line of
Koss Stereophones currently expected to be introduced in late 2008 and beyond, Koss stated.
Despite these additional expenses and the challenges of a reduction in sales to the auto companies, we are very
pleased with the Companys performance this year which is rivaled only by last years record setter
in net sales.
Koss Corporation paid a quarterly dividend of $0.13 cents per share on July 13, 2007, to
shareholders of record on June 29, 2007.
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.
