GLOBAL-TECH ADVANCED INNOVATIONS REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS FOR FISCAL 2015

 

Hong Kong, December 15, 2014 — Global-Tech Advanced Innovations Inc. (NASDAQ: GAI) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 (the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2015).

 

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 were $21.1 million, an increase of approximately 76% when compared to $12.0 million for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2014. Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $2.2 million, or $0.74 per share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $1.70 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

 

Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2014 were $45.7 million, an increase of approximately 87% when compared to $24.5 million in the corresponding six-month period in fiscal 2014. Net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $2.5 million, or $0.83 per share, compared to a net income of $6.7 million, or $2.21 per share, for the first half of fiscal 2014.

 

John C.K. Sham, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Sales in our electronic components business experienced growth in the first half of fiscal 2015, with unit sales increasing nearly 120% compared to the previous year; however, concurrent declines in pricing of approximately 30% offset any potential gains in operating results. This is despite an improved product mix of higher-pixel units for our CCMs.”

 

Mr. Sham continued, “Competition in the electronic business remains high, with new entrants entering the market almost daily. This coupled with the current instability in the industry will require us to reconsider any further investment in additional chip-on-board (COB) production lines.”

 

Mr. Sham concluded, “The future success of our electronic components business will depend upon our ability to attract new customers and drive volume while at the same time improving margins, whether through the reduction of our manufacturing costs or through increases in price and innovation.”

 

Global-Tech Advanced Innovations Inc. is a holding company, owning subsidiaries that manufacture and market a diversified portfolio of products, such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and camera modules (CCMs). The primary focus of its subsidiaries is to develop and market high-quality products for the communications industry in China and export such products to markets in other countries throughout the world.
