Koss Corp. Fourth Quarter Net Sales Up 16%
Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Koss Corporation (NASDAQ SYMBOL: KOSS), the U.S. based high-fidelity headphone company, has reported its fourth quarter results for the quarter and year ended June 30, 2018.
Sales for the fourth quarter were $7,238,260, which is a 15.9% increase from sales of $6,243,863 for the same three month period one year ago. The three month net income was $347,029, compared to a net loss of $70,377 for the fourth quarter last year. Diluted and basic income per common share for the quarter was $0.05 compared to diluted and basic loss per common share of $0.01 for the three month period one year ago.
"New products drove a significant increase in sales to distributors in Europe," Michael J. Koss, Chairman and CEO, said today. "This sharp improvement in the European market, combined with increased sales to mass retail in the domestic market, drove net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the highest they have been in any single quarter since the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase in sales combined with controlled spending allowed us to generate net income of $347,029 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to a net loss of $70,377 for the same three month period one year ago."
Sales for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, decreased 2.2% from $24,054,281 in the same period last year to $23,515,441 in the current year. The twelve month net loss was $3,386,060 compared to $963,636 for the same period last year. Diluted and basic loss per common share was $0.46 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0.13 for the same twelve month period one year ago.
"Controlled spending drove a reduction in the loss before income tax for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year," Koss explained. "However, we continued to see the impact on the bottom line of tax adjustments made in the second quarter to write-down deferred tax assets to the new federal statutory rate as well as increase the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. These adjustments drove an increase in tax expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, and caused the increased net loss compared to the same twelve month period one year ago."
