August 14, 2023 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Interlink Electronics, Inc., a world-leading provider of sensors and printed electronic solutions that support a wide range of applications, including Human-Machine Interface (HMI) devices and IoT solutions, today announced its financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023.
Revenue for the quarter was approximately $4.05 million, up 98% from the prior year period due to revenues from the gas-sensor and membrane keypads operations acquired in December 2022 and March 2023, in addition to increased sales of the company's traditional force-sensor products. This in turn drove a 116% increase in the Company's gross profit to approximately $2.06 million and a 240% increase in net income to $381,000.
- Revenue nearly doubled to $4.05 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period, and increased 82% to $7.33 million for the six-month period. This was due primarily to the inclusion of revenues from our Gas and Environmental Sensors division (the SPEC Sensors/KWJ Engineering electrochemical gas sensor businesses that were acquired in December 2022) and, for the three-month period, from the Calman Technology Limited membrane keypad and printed electronics operations acquired in March 2023. The increase was also attributable to an exceptional quarter the Company experienced in its force-sensor resistor business due to an increase in shipments to our medical market customers, reflecting the easing of pandemic restrictions that previously delayed installations of their products in hospitals settings.
- Gross profit for the quarter more than doubled to $2.06 million compared to the year ago quarter due mostly to our increased revenues and also to an increase in gross margin percentage to 51% from 47%. For the six-month period, gross profit was $3.65 million, up 66% from the prior year period due primarily to the effect of higher revenues, offset in part by a decline in gross margin percentage from 54% to 50%. The increase in gross margin percentage for the three-month period was due to lower materials and components costs on certain orders and favorable changes in product and customer mix, reversing the trend from the previous quarter that led to the decline for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
- Net income for the quarter was $381,000, up 240% from the $112,000 recorded for the prior year period as the increase in gross profit more than offset higher selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to increased headcount as a result of the SPEC/KWJ and Calman acquisitions and additional legal and professional fees related to the acquisitions. For the six months, net income fell from $254,000 to $190,000 on higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs attributable to the Gas and Environmental Sensors division, with the Calman acquisition only closing late in the first quarter.
- Net income applicable to common stockholders increased to $281,000 ($0.04 per share) for the quarter from $12,000 ($0 per share) in the prior year period, but declined to a loss of $10,000 ($0 per share) for the six months from income of $54,000 ($0.01 per share) in the prior year period.
- The Company ended the quarter with $5.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.
"This quarter is the first period in which we have included full results from both the Gas and Environmental Sensors division and Calman, and these results reinforce our belief in the significant growth potential for those operations," said Steven N. Bronson, Chairman, President, and CEO of Interlink Electronics. "At the same time, we saw an exceptional quarter in our traditional force-sensor resistor and human-machine interface markets, and we continue to invest in exploring new markets and acquisition opportunities."
