For its third quarter of 2010, the Company posted revenues of $12.4 million and net income of $0.8 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share. These results compare to revenues of $13.4 million and net loss of $0.3 million, or $(0.04) per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009. Gross profit for the quarter was $4.1 million, or 33% of revenues, compared to $4.7 million, or 35% of revenues, for the third quarter of 2009. The primary reason for the increase in quarterly net income between the quarters was a $1.6 million charge for impairment of goodwill that was recorded in September 2009.
For the first nine months of 2010, the Company recorded revenues of $43.2 million and net income of $3.5 million, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share. These results compare to revenues of $33.7 million and a net loss of $0.7 million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, for the first nine months of 2009. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2010 was $16.3 million, or 38% of revenues, compared to $10.2 million, or 30% of revenues, for the comparable period in 2009. The primary reasons for the increase in net income between the periods was a $1.6 million charge for impairment of goodwill that was recorded in September 2009, as well as a significant increase in year-to-date gross margin percentage due to a shift in mix of sales towards higher-margin chips.
At September 30, 2010 the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $22.5 million, compared to $18.8 million at December 31, 2009.
"In the third quarter, GPIC continued its sales to Pennsylvania casinos and significantly increased its cash levels based on customer payments on strong second quarter sales," said Greg Gronau, GPIC's President and CEO. "We posted good results for the third quarter, with sales of $12.4 million and net income of $.09 per share."
Mr. Gronau further commented, "Additionally, we have recently achieved several goals that position us for the future. These achievements, along with our strong financial position, will allow us to look at new opportunities as we move beyond 2010. The achievements include:
- In August, GPIC entered into an agreement with IGT to license certain RFID technology and purchased software, enabling the Company to sell RFID hardware and software for cage and portable chip identification for customers to whom it has previously sold RFID chips.
- In the third quarter, GPIC received its first orders from gaming establishments in Mexico, which is an emerging new market for table products.
Along with these achievements, we have decided to establish a local sales office in Macau to better serve the Company's Asian customers."
