everyone see the numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
PRNewswire/ -- Iomega Corp today reported revenues of $310.1 million for the third quarter of 1996 versus 1995 third quarter revenues of $84.7 million. Net income was $12.8 million, or $0.09 per share, for the third quarter of 1996 versus net income of $2.0 million, or
$0.02 per share, for the same period in 1995.
For the first nine months of 1996, revenues totaled $815.7 million versus $177.4 million for the first nine months of 1995. Net income for the first nine months of 1996 totaled $37.0 million, or $0.28
per share, versus a loss of $1.4 million, or ($0.01) per share, for the same period in 1995.
Gross margins for the third quarter of 1996 totaled $81.7 million, or 26% of revenue, versus $21.5 million, or 25% of revenue in the same period of 1995.
Operating expenses were 20% of revenue in the third quarter of 1996, a reduction from 22% in the third quarter of 1995.
The Company's balance sheet at September 29, 1996 reflected cash and cash equivalents of $102
million, short-term debt of $35 million and long-term debt of $66 million, including $46 million in
6.75% convertible subordinated notes due 2001.
In the third quarter, the Company repurchased a total of 300,000 shares of common stock under its
ongoing repurchase program at a cost of $4.4 million, or $14.54 per share.
"During the quarter, the Company passed two significant product milestones. We shipped our 3
millionth Zip drive worldwide since the product began shipping in 1995 and shipped our 5 millionth
personal storage solution," Kim Edwards, president and chief executive officer stated. "Indeed, for
both the three and nine month periods of 1996, 97% of the revenue reported today was derived
from sales of our Zip, Jaz and Ditto personal storage solutions."
"We anticipated a challenging quarter given retail seasonality, the traditional summer slowdown in
Europe, the initiation of production in our new facility in Penang, and pricing actions taken by
Iomega during the quarter," stated Mr. Edwards. "The business has accepted these challenges and
our revenue growth of 9% over second quarter of 1996 is satisfying to us under these
circumstances."
Mr. Edwards went on to note that the opening of the Company's new Penang facility has led the
Company to reevaluate its contract manufacturing relationships and that the Company intends to
move a substantial portion of its Zip, Jaz and Ditto drive production to this new facility. In
connection with this shift, the Company recently took over from Seiko Epson control of a
subcontractor producing Zip drives in the Philippines and is negotiating the transfer of Jaz drive
production from Sequel.
Separately, Iomega announced today that it will file an application to be listed on the New York
Stock Exchange.
