OSI Systems, Inc. today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Deepak Chopra, OSI Systems’ Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are pleased to report the results of our first quarter. Although sales declined from the prior year as expected due to a difficult year-over-year comparable, we are very optimistic looking ahead as our book-to-bill ratio was 2.3 and our pipeline of opportunities is robust.”
The Company reported revenues of $200.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of 8% from the $218.4 million reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $10.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.2 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company generated cash flow from operations of $24.8 million and capital expenditures were $2.5 million.
Mr. Chopra further commented, “Sales in our Healthcare division increased by 8% over the prior year first quarter driven by stronger sales in the U.S. and Europe. We are pleased with the reception of our new products, which continue to gain traction in the marketplace. We believe that our improved suite of products positions our Healthcare division well to benefit as worldwide markets continue to recover.”
Mr. Chopra continued, "Bookings in our Security division were outstanding, highlighted by the recently announced $19 million order under a $293 million IDIQ contract with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency and the commencement of the turnkey security screening program in Albania, our third such turnkey program. Sales were challenged by a difficult comparable with the prior year including the partial fulfillment of a significant Foreign Military Sales contract.”
Mr. Chopra concluded, “Our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division achieved further operating margin expansion resulting in a 29% increase in operating profit over the prior year first quarter. The results benefited from a favorable sales mix and efficiencies realized as a result of a facility consolidation we completed in the prior year along with productivity improvement initiatives.”
