M~Wave Announces First Quarter Results
BENSENVILLE, Ill., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- M~Wave, Inc. (Nasdaq: MWAV - news), a manufacturer of high performance printed circuit boards used in wireless communications, announced a net income of $167,000 or $0.07 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared with a net income of $10,000 or $0.00 per share a year ago. Net sales for the first quarter of 2000 were $5,372,000 up 46% from the first quarter of 1999.
``We remain excited about our future in 2000,'' said Joseph A. Turek, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, ``we are on track to exceed 1999 revenues by up to 100% with sales ranging from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000.''
Cash levels increased to $2,783,000 at March 31, 2000, up $196,000 from the year ended December 31, 1999. Inventories increased to $3,271,000, up $1,240,000 from the year ended December 31, 1999. ``The increase in inventory was no surprise since it was a direct result of increased sales and an inventory consignment agreement with Lucent,'' said Paul Schmitt, Chief Financial Officer, ``we expect our investment in inventory to again increase in the second quarter of 2000.''
Capital expenditures were approximately $32,000 for the first quarter of 2000. M~Wave expects to spend an additional $700,000 in the next nine months to improve our manufacturing processes. The planned capital expenses will be funded by operations.
