Gaming Partners International Corporation Reports Financial Results For the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2013
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming Partners International Corporation (NASDAQ: GPIC), a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013.
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company posted a net loss of $54,000, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. During the first six months of 2013, the Company posted net income of $0.4 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $3.1 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, for the first six months of 2012. The decrease in earnings for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 was caused by lower gross margins and higher general and administrative expenses.
During the second quarter of 2013, the Company earned revenues of $14.1 million, compared to revenues of $13.0 million. Gross profit for the quarter was $4.4 million, or 31% of revenues, compared to $4.9 million, or 37% of revenues, in the same period of the prior year.
The primary reasons for the increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 were a $0.6 million increase in sales of RFID casino currency and RFID solutions to casinos in the Asia-Pacific region and a $0.4 million increase in sales of cards, layouts, dice, and furniture and accessories to casinos in the United States.
Our gross profit percentage decreased in the second quarter of 2013, compared with the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to: (1) a reduction in volumes of American-style RFID and non-RFID chips sold in Asia during the second quarter of 2013 which lowered the utilization and cost absorption of our production facilities for these product lines; and (2) lower margins in our Paulson chip line due to increased labor costs related to rush orders; offset by (3) an increase in volumes of European-style RFID plaques sold at higher sales prices and gross margins.
During the first six months of 2013, the Company posted revenues of $28.9 million compared to revenues of $28.5 million and net income of $3.1 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. Gross profit for the first six months of 2013 was $8.7 million, or 30% of revenues, compared to $10.2 million, or 36% of revenues, in the same period of the prior year.
The primary reason for the increase in revenue in the first six months of 2013, compared to the first six months of 2012, was an increase in sales of casino currency with RFID and RFID solutions to casinos in the Asia-Pacific region.
Our gross profit percentage decreased in the first six months of 2013, compared with the first six months of 2012, primarily related to: (1) a large imbalance in product demand in the first quarter of 2013, which significantly affected the utilization of our production facilities, resulting in one production facility incurring significant overtime and the other to have low utilization rates; and (2) a shift in our mix of revenues from our higher-margin Paulson chips toward lower-margin products.
The Company ended the second quarter with $20.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company purchased 20,201 shares of its common stock under the current repurchase authorization at a cost of $162,696. Under the current repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2013, the Company may repurchase up to an additional 231,459 shares.
"As in the first quarter, our results reflect the variability of our global customers' product demands from quarter to quarter," commented Greg Gronau, GPIC President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are not satisfied with our gross margins and bottom line for the first half of 2013 and expect lower earnings for the rest of the year when compared to last year. At the same time, we are working to balance production in our manufacturing facilities and to collaborate with our customers to provide new products and increase sales of our current offerings."
