Phoenix Gold Announces Increased Third Quarter Earnings
PORTLAND, Ore. - Phoenix Gold International, Inc. today reported a 8%
increase in its net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 over the third
quarter of fiscal 1999. Net earnings were $364,000, or $0.12 per diluted
share, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to net earnings of
$336,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, in last year's third quarter. For the
nine months ended June 30, 2000, net earnings increased 16% to $816,000, or
$0.27 per diluted share as compared to net earnings of $702,000, or $0.21 per
diluted share, for the comparable period last year.
Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $7.1 million, a decrease
of 5% from revenue of $7.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.
Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 increased to $20.5 million
from $20.3 for the same period in 1999.
"This marks our seventh consecutive quarter-over-quarter earnings
improvement," stated Keith A. Peterson, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Despite continuing softness in the international markets,
we improved net earnings through operating efficiencies implemented over a
year ago. Particularly encouraging was the strength of our car audio
electronic sales, specifically our ZEROpoint ZXti and XS series of car audio
amplifiers which increased 20% during the quarter despite decreased
international sales.
"We will begin shipping our new QX series of car audio amplifiers during
the fourth quarter," continued Mr. Peterson. "Additionally, we expect to ship
our new contractor series of professional sound amplifiers and a family of
high-end home electronics for a new OEM customer before our year end."
Phoenix Gold also reported that it has completed its purchases of common
stock under its $1 million stock repurchase program.
Phoenix Gold International, Inc. designs, manufactures, markets and sells
innovative, high quality, high performance electronics, accessories and
speakers for the audio market.
