- Record Quarterly Revenue of $23.2 Million MIDDLETOWN, R.I., July
19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KVH Industries, Inc., (NASDAQ:KVHI)
today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June
30, 2007. Revenue for the second quarter of 2007 was $23.2 million,
a 6% increase over the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. Net
income for the quarter was $1.5 million, or $0.10 on a per-diluted
share basis. During the same period last year the company reported
net income of $1.7 million, or $0.11 on a per-diluted share basis.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, revenue increased 3% to
$43.6 million from $42.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006. KVH reported net income of $1.6 million or $0.10 on a
per-diluted share basis for the 2007 period, versus net income of
$2.9 million or $0.20 on a per-diluted share basis in the year-ago
period. "Overall, we had a good second quarter that was in line
with our expectations. We set a record for quarterly revenue and
continued to build our long-term military business. We also made
great strides in strengthening our positions in both the marine and
land mobile markets through the development and introduction of
several new products and services," said Martin Kits van Heyningen,
KVH's president and chief executive officer. In the second quarter
of 2007, mobile communication revenue was $17.5 million, up 4% on a
year-over-year basis. Defense-related sales, including those for
KVH's fiber optic gyro (FOG) solutions and TACNAV(R) military
navigation systems, were approximately $5.7 million, up 11% on a
year-over- year basis. "The recent introduction of our new
TracVision(R) M-series satellite TV systems helped drive our marine
sales up 12% over the same quarter last year. Within the land
mobile market, quarterly revenue was down 11% compared to a very
strong second quarter in 2006, which was our first full quarter of
TracVision R6 shipments into the RV market. Looking ahead, we are
excited about the potential of our new TracVision SlimLine
satellite TV systems, which were introduced publicly today and have
already been selected by a number of leading RV manufacturers.
"Within our mobile communications business, last week's launch of
our TracPhone(R) V7 satellite communications system and the
mini-VSAT Broadband(sm) service is one of the more important
strategic announcements we've made in recent years. Our effort to
bring broadband, affordable Internet access to mariners has been a
large and complex project that involved establishing new
relationships with both ViaSat and satellite owner-operator SES
AMERICOM. For sales to our customers, KVH will serve as the sole
point of contact for hardware and airtime sales, activations,
billing, and technical support for this new product and service. In
addition, we will receive revenue from hardware sales as well as
from the recurring monthly airtime generated by leisure boaters,
commercial maritime operations, and government vessels using this
unique end-to-end maritime communications solution." Turning to the
defense market, Mr. Kits van Heyningen remarked, "We enjoyed strong
product sales growth in the second quarter. Fiber optic gyro
product revenue was up 31% and defense navigation revenue was up
43% year over year from the same quarter in 2006. While
customer-funded engineering revenue was down compared to the second
quarter of 2006, we continued to add long-term contract value to
our military navigation business for 2008 and beyond. At the same
time, we aggressively pursued new opportunities, including the
potential application of our low-profile satellite antenna
technology to high-speed satellite communications-on-the-move for
the U.S. military." Commenting on the company's financial results
for the second quarter, Patrick Spratt, KVH's chief financial
officer, said, "The second quarter was generally on track with our
expectations for both the top and bottom lines. As anticipated,
sales of our higher-margin TACNAV systems, which were roughly three
times higher on a sequential basis compared to the first quarter,
contributed to a healthy improvement in gross margin to 42%.
Operating expenses were affected by low levels of customer-funded
engineering as well as the expense associated with ongoing patent
litigation. "While defense sales were strong this quarter, we have
been informed that two potential orders that we were expecting to
receive for the third quarter have been delayed. One is a
significant TACNAV order from an international customer. The other
is the U.S. Army's new contract for its CROWS stabilized weapon
program, which is now tentatively scheduled to be announced in
September 2007. Since our original expectation was that both of
these programs would have been awarded by now, we had built them
into our expectations for the second half of 2007. As we generally
only include booked defense business in our near-term guidance, we
are removing these from our third quarter guidance at this time.
This will most likely result in third quarter revenue being in the
range of $18 to $19 million. This is also expected to result in a
loss of $0.04 to $0.08 cents per share for the third quarter of
2007. We are confident that our mobile communications business will
remain strong and in line with our previous expectations for the
remainder of the year. Given this outlook, and assuming that the
CROWS contract award is made by the end of September and is
favorable for us, we anticipate that our fourth quarter revenue
will grow approximately 30% on a year-over-year basis to roughly
$22 to $23 million while earnings will be in the range of $0.10 to
$0.14 cents per share." Recent Operational Highlights: -- July 19,

statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For example,
forward-looking statements include statements regarding our
financial goals for 2007 and 2008, anticipated revenue growth,
anticipated profitability, anticipated orders for our mobile
communication and military products, and anticipated improvements
in our competitive position. The actual results we achieve could
differ materially from the statements made in this press release.
Factors that might cause these differences include, but are not
limited to: competition presented by alternative maritime satellite
communication products and services; seasonal declines in demand
for our mobile communication and television products; the
unpredictability of purchasing schedules and priorities of the
relatively small number of customers for our defense products; the
risk of order cancellations or unexercised options, particularly
for longer-term defense orders; potential reductions in our overall
gross margins in the event of a general shift in product mix toward
our mobile communication products; potential continued softness in
the U.S. market for marine products; the unpredictability of the
emerging market, as well as consumer and automotive manufacturer
demand, for mobile communication products in automobiles; the
emergence of alternative technology that may compete with or
displace wireless mobile Internet services with regard to range and
cost; changes in customer response to new product introductions;
the impact of increases in fuel prices on the sale and use of motor
vehicles and marine vessels; our dependence on third-party
satellite networks for programming and satellite services; poor or
delayed research and development results; currency fluctuations,
export restrictions, delays in procuring export licenses, and other
international risks; potential product liability claims; the
difficulty in protecting our proprietary technology; potential
claims of intellectual property infringement; expenses associated
with corporate governance requirements; and changes in our equity
compensation practices, including the impact of fluctuations in our
stock price. These and other factors are discussed in more detail
in our Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 8, 2007. Copies are available through
