(Nasdaq NM: PTIX), a leading developer of embedded computing products and system-level solutions for the communications, military and commercial markets, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2003. Revenue in the second quarter 2003 was $12.6 million, compared to $6.6 million in the second quarter 2002. For the second quarter 2003, the results of operations include the Computing Products Group acquired in October 2002. Net income for the second quarter 2003 amounted to $.7 million, or $.06 per diluted share, compared to $.4 million, or $.03 per diluted share for the second quarter 2002, based on 12.4 million shares outstanding for each quarter. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $23.7 million, compared to $13.0 million in the corresponding period a year earlier. Net income amounted to $1.0 million, or $.08 per diluted share for the first six months 2003, based on 12.3 million shares outstanding. Net income for the first six months 2002 amounted to $.8 million, or $.06 per diluted share including expenses associated with a restructuring charge recorded in the first quarter amounting to $.2 million (pre-tax), or $.01 per diluted share. Excluding the restructuring charge, net income for the first six months 2002 amounted to $.9 million, or $.07 per diluted share, based on 12.5 million shares outstanding. Cash and marketable securities amounted to $24.0 million at June 30, 2003, compared to $24.1 million at the end of 2002, and no long-term debt existed at either date. The following contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. With the Computing Products Group acquisition in October 2002, the Company substantially broadened its product offering to include computing and system platform products, and more than doubled its addressable market. More importantly, this acquisition enabled the Company to elevate its market position as a more complete supplier to its customers. Furthermore, a new business strategy was defined following the acquisition that management believes will continue to drive the Company's growth. This strategy is to supply "comprehensive" embedded system platforms incorporating multiple components from the Company's product portfolio. Performance Technologies Reports Continued Revenue and Profit Growth in the Second Quarter Page 2 "The benefits of the Company's new business strategy are more evident and we are confident that there is considerable opportunity to improve our future top and bottom line performance," said Donald Turrell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Nine months after embarking on this expanded strategy, the Company is realizing a number of measurable benefits with customers and our financial performance is improving." There are clear indications that Performance Technologies' products are being evaluated for new programs earlier in the customer's design cycle. This increases the opportunity for "pull-through" of the Company's entire product line of network access, switching and signaling products into the customer's final product design. One clear example of the success and growth potential of this strategy is the Company's recent announcement of the Stratus Technologies design win. This customer transitioned from considering one of the Company's products before the Ziatech acquisition, to designing their next-generation, high availability communications server solution with four distinct Performance Technologies products. It was the Company's expanded product capabilities, combined with our ability to assure system interoperability that resulted in this significant design win. Other measurable results of the new business strategy are revenue growth, margin improvement and enhanced profitability that the Company realized during the second quarter. The organization is focused on the continuation of this new momentum. In addition, management continues to aggressively seek opportunities to add acquired elements, products and technologies to its current capability. Guidance The Company's products are integrated into current and next-generation embedded systems infrastructure. Traditionally, design wins have been an important metric for management to judge the Company's product acceptance in its marketplace. Typically, design wins reach production volumes at varying rates, generally beginning twelve to eighteen months after the design win occurs. A variety of risks such as schedule delays, cancellations and changes in customer markets and economic conditions can adversely affect a design win before production is reached or during deployment. While management still believes that design wins are an important metric in evaluating the market acceptance of the Company's products, unfortunately as the economy slowed in 2001 and 2002, fewer customers were doing new design activity, and a smaller number of these design wins were moving into production than in the past. In addition, during difficult economic periods, frequently a substantial portion of the Company's revenue is derived from orders placed within the quarter and shipped in the final month of the quarter. In the Company's target markets, capital spending appeared to stabilize during the fourth quarter 2002, and beginning in 2003 certain customers appear to be moving projects toward production. However, overall, new project development culminating in actual design wins in the quarter was still sluggish. During the second quarter 2003, the Company realized two new design wins for its IPnexusTM (including rebranded ZiatechTM products) and SEGwayTM product families. In addition, forward-looking visibility in the market is still limited. Based upon the current business mix, the current backlog and review of sales forecasts, management expects revenue to be $12.5 million to $13.5 million in the third quarter 2003. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 47.5% to 49.5% and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter are expected to be between $.05 and $.09. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter is assumed to be 31%. More in-depth discussions of the Company's strategy and financial performance can be found in the Company's recent Annual and Quarterly Reports, on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
