Zoom Telephonics Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results
Revenue of $12.0M, the Highest Quarterly Revenue for Zoom
Telephonics (OTCQB: ZMTP) to Date
Boston,
MA, November 12, 2020 – Zoom Telephonics, Inc.
(“Zoom”) (OTCQB: ZMTP), the creator of leading cable
modems and other Internet access products under the exclusively
licensed Motorola® brand, reported financial results for its
2020 third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
●
Net revenue of
$12.0M, the highest quarterly revenue for ZMTP to date,
representing an 11% increase compared to the same quarter in 2019,
and a 17% increase sequentially from Q2 2020.
●
GAAP Operating Loss
of ($332k), or -2.8% of net revenue, representing a ($94k)
difference compared to the same quarter in 2019, but a $1.2M
improvement sequentially from Q2 2020.
●
Earnings per share
of $(0.01), flat in the third quarter of 2019, but represents a 86%
improvement sequentially from Q2 2020.
“We
are very pleased with this quarter’s results and believe that
we are now on a clear path to achieving scale and
profitability,” said Jackie Barry Hamilton, CFO of Zoom.
“Our balance sheet and cash position are strong; benefiting
from a recent PIPE, and we have maintained our working capital
levels despite challenges associated with the
pandemic.”
Business Outlook
“Our
research shows Zoom is holding its position as one of the top three
leaders in modems, gateways, and MoCA devices by retail market
share,” said Jeremy Hitchcock, Executive Chairman of
Zoom’s Board of Directors. “We are seeing strong market
tailwinds in home connectivity, underscored in a 45% increase in
retailer inventory demand from this time last year. Our inventory
position is actively being rebuilt as manufacturing capacity ramps
in Vietnam to meet increased customer demand, without
tariffs.”
Separately,
Zoom today announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to
merge with Minim Inc., a private AI-driven WiFi management and
security platform.
