Optex Systems Releases First Quarter 2013 Results

RICHARDSON, TX -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 02/11/13 -- Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: OPXS), a leading manufacturer of optical sighting systems and assemblies primarily for Department of Defense applications, reported operating results for its fiscal quarter ended December 30, 2012.

Revenues for the quarter were $3.9 million as compared to revenues during the same period one year ago of $4.3 million, representing a decrease of 9.3%. The reduction in revenues was primarily attributable to completion of the M137 Howitzer program in March 2012. The revenue decrease in the current quarter was offset by an increase in gross margin percentages over the prior year quarter due to a shift to more profitable programs, thus the gross margin during the three months ending December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 was $0.07 million for both periods. During the three months ended December 30, 2012, we recorded a net income applicable to common shareholders of $.04 million as compared to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of ($0.16) million during the three months ended January 1, 2012. The increase in net income of $0.2 million is primarily attributable to decreased deferred income taxes of $0.04 million, decreased preferred stock dividends of $0.11 million, decreased interest expense of $0.01 million and increased operating profit of $0.04 associated with lower general and administrative spending.

Danny Schoening, CEO of the Company, commented, "In our first fiscal quarter we've seen steady demand from both domestic and international customers as we continue to monitor the automatic spending cuts (sequestration) planned for March 1, 2013 by the United States Government. It is unknown as to when or if these requirements will change given the proposed reductions in military spending. To offset this potential reduction in spending, we are continuing our effort to invest in product development as we look for new applications in corollary products for new markets."
