- Revenue nearly doubled to
in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the prior year period, and increased$4.05 million 82% to 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.$7.33 million
- Gross profit for the quarter more than doubled to
compared to the year ago quarter due mostly to our increased revenues and also to an increase in gross margin percentage to$2.06 million 51% from47% . For the six-month period, gross profit was , up$3.65 million 66% from the prior year period due primarily to the effect of higher revenues, offset in part by a decline in gross margin percentage from54% to50% . 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
, up$381,000 240% from the 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$112,000 to$254,000 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.$190,000
- Net income applicable to common stockholders increased to
($281,000 per share) for the quarter from$0.04 ($12,000 per share) in the prior year period, but declined to a loss of$0 ($10,000 per share) for the six months from income of$0 ($54,000 per share) in the prior year period.$0.01
- The Company ended the quarter with
of cash and cash equivalents.$5.1 million
"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."
