Management Comments

Commenting on the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, Anthony Ambrose, President and CEO of Data I/O Corporation, said, “Our performance in the third quarter was outstanding as we delivered strong bookings, operating income and cash generation. For the fourth consecutive quarter, we achieved bookings in excess of $6.0 million, with third quarter 2022 bookings of $7.1 million reaching the highest level in the past year, and the highest level for the third quarter in 5 years. Backlog at the end of the 2022 third quarter of $4.9 million was at the highest level for any third quarter period in the past 10 years.

“We continue to gain share in automotive. Automotive electronics represented 70% of third quarter bookings, and 63% of bookings so far this year. We had 4 new customer wins in automotive and industrial during the third quarter.

“Earlier this week, we announced VerifyBoostTM technology to support the automotive memory market. VerifyBoost is a patent pending technology that significantly improves UFS memory programming times by accelerating the verify portion of the programming cycle over 4.5x. This is game-changing for our automotive customers. This technology is available as a license for new and existing systems with our Lumen®X programmers.

“The Company’s factories in the U.S. and China are back on track and running at normal capacity. As expected, we delivered profitability in adjusted EBITDA and net income, an increase in cash, and a return to more normal levels for key balance sheet items. With a strong sales funnel and high backlog and deferred revenue, we are off to a fast start for the fourth quarter. It’s an exciting time for Data I/O.”

Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2022 were $7.2 million, up 7% as compared with $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase reflects strength in automotive electronics and industrial markets, partially offset by the impact of a strong US Dollar. Total recurring and consumable revenues including adapter sales represented $3.2 million or 44% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2022, up 19% as compared with $2.7 million or 39% of total revenues in the third quarter 2021 total.

Third quarter 2022 bookings were $7.1 million, up 11% from $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 42% from $5.0 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Backlog at September 30, 2022 was approximately $4.9 million, down from $5.8 million at June 30, 2022, and $3.3 million at September 30, 2021. Additionally, there is approximately $300,000 of deferred systems revenue anticipated to become revenue in the fourth quarter.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 57.0% in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to 60.7% in the same period of the prior year. The difference in gross margin as a percentage of sales is primarily due to currency strength of the US Dollar, which is up approximately 15% versus the Euro and Yuan.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2022 of $3.4 million were down approximately $547,000 or 13.9% as compared to the 2021 period of $3.9 million. R&D expenses were $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of the prior year. The lower operating expense in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily a result of disciplined spending, lower incentive compensation and effects of the strong US Dollar.

Net income in the third quarter of 2022 was $847,000, or $0.10 per share, compared with net income of $12,000, or $0.00 per share, in the third quarter of 2021. Included in net income are foreign currency transaction gain/(loss) of $307,000 in the third quarter of 2022 and ($26,000) in the third quarter of the prior year.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which excludes equity compensation, was $1,431,000 in the third quarter of 2022, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $564,000 in the third quarter of 2021.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company expects to ship the majority of backlog and systems in deferred revenue as of September 30. The Company also expects relatively flat currency exchange and flat operating expenses as compared to the third quarter, with gross margin in the mid 50’s.

Data I/O’s balance sheet remained strong with cash at the end of the third quarter of 2022 of $11.0 million, up from $10.3 million at June 30, 2022. The increase in cash primarily reflects operating profitability and faster collections on increased receivables. Data I/O had net working capital of $16.5 million at September 30, 2022, up from $15.9 million at the end of the 2022 second quarter. The Company continues to have no debt.
