IntriCon Reports 2012 Third-Quarter Results

IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

For the 2012 third quarter, the company reported net sales of $14.9 million, an increase of 7.4 percent from the prior-year period. IntriCon had net income of $217,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(489,000), or $(0.09) per diluted share, for the 2011 third quarter. Included in 2012 third-quarter results was a one-time gain of $822,000, or $0.14 per diluted share, from the previously disclosed sale of the company’s 50-percent ownership interest in Global Coils, to its Switzerland-based joint venture partner, Audemars SA.

“There were encouraging developments across all of our businesses in the third quarter,” said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. “Professional audio posted record sales that were up 53.4 percent over the 2011 third quarter as strong demand continued for securities products domestically and headset products internationally.

“On the medical front, we increased sales over the prior-year period with our largest medical customer, Medtronic. And in hearing health, hi HealthInnovations, a UnitedHealth Group Company, expanded its innovative hearing aid program to more than 26 million people enrolled in its employer-sponsored and individual health benefit plans. Hearing health sales, though, declined 6.9 percent over the prior year, primarily due to an expected pause in orders from hi HealthInnovations and continued softness in the conventional hearing health market.”

As a percentage of 2012 third-quarter sales, healthcare-related revenue (hearing health and medical combined) totaled 67.7 percent (30.6 percent hearing health and 37.1 percent medical), with professional audio communications at 32.3 percent. This compares to 2011 healthcare-related revenue of 77.3 percent (35.3 percent hearing health and 42.0 percent medical), with professional audio communications at 22.7 percent.
