LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SED International Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SED), a multinational supply chain management provider and distributor of leading computer technology, consumer electronics, small appliances, housewares and personal care products, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2012.
A summary of the first fiscal quarter results are as follows:
- Net sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $126.4 million, a decrease of 18.9%, from $155.8 million in the prior-year first quarter. Net sales were negatively impacted by the weak demand for our PC, notebooks and television products which reflects similar declines within the microcomputer industry.
- Gross margin increased to 5.6%, compared to 4.8% in the comparable period last year due primarily to higher margins earned on small appliance, housewares and personal care products as well as higher margins in our Latin American subsidiaries due to Argentine governmental import restrictions causing tighter inventory supply which increased pricing and margins.
- The Company reported an operating loss of $1.6 million in the first quarter compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million in the prior-year first quarter. First quarter net loss was $2.1 million, or $(0.43) per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of approximately $0.8 million, or $(0.18) per basic and diluted share in the same period last year.
- EBITDA was a negative $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
- Cash and cash equivalents were $3.5 million, net trade receivables were $52.5 million, net inventories were $55.7 million and working capital was $18.1 million
- Shareholders’ equity at the end of the quarter was $22.3 million, or $4.50 per basic and diluted share
“Our performance during the quarter was disappointing with revenue down particularly in our core PC and TV businesses and our delay in adding profitability through the integration of our Lehrhoff acquisition,” said Bob O’Malley, president and chief executive officer of SED International. “While we have some bright spots in our Latin America businesses, we are taking actions in the U.S. on several fronts this quarter to increase revenue through better selling and marketing alignment with our strategic vendors and to manage our operating expenses through the restructuring of operations and the implementation of selective outsourcing initiatives. We are committed to returning SED International to profitability.”

Safe Harbor
Statements made in this Press Release that are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements.” These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "approximate" or "continue," or the negative thereof. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond the control of the Company that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. These factors include adverse economic conditions, entry of new and stronger competitors, inadequate capital, unexpected costs, failure to gain product approval in foreign countries and failure to capitalize upon access to new markets. The Company disclaims any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measure: “EBITDA” (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization). The Company’s management believes that EBITDA represents a key operating metric for its business. This non-GAAP term, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our profitability. While EBITDA is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe this measure is useful to investors. A reconciliation of EBITDA to GAAP financial measures for the three month ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is included at the end of this press release.
