    LOWELL, Mass., May 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CSP Inc. (NASDAQ:CSPI), a provider of IT solutions and high-performance Ethernet products for diverse applications, today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 ended March 31, 2016.

    The Company also announced that its board of directors has voted to pay its quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share to shareholders of record May 27, 2016 payable June 10, 2016.

    Management Comments

    “We performed well financially in the second quarter as we continued to make good progress on executing our growth strategy,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Victor Dellovo. “Sales were up 44% in the second quarter, and we reported EPS of $0.13 versus a loss of $0.19 a year ago.”

    “In the High Performance Products Division, we launched our new next-generation FPGA network adapter product for the packet capture and financial services markets,” said Dellovo. “The product, branded “Class E,” is currently in production at multiple customer sites. We also secured our first major engagement for the packet capture market by shipping a large order to our first hyperscale data center end user. This shipment was a key contributor to our strong revenue growth this quarter. Customer interest in our packet capture product has been very positive, and we have a robust pipeline in place. We also are building momentum with our product for the financial services market, and have brought our first few customers into production.” 

    “At our Technology Solutions Division, our core strategy continues to be increasing higher-margin revenues from managed services,” said Dellovo. “Our managed services pipeline is building and we continue to take actions to further increase this revenue stream. Our cross-selling strategy is also proving successful as we recorded sales between locations at our Technology Solutions Division, as well as between the Technology Solutions and High Performance Products divisions. The performance of our UK operation, which has now been fully integrated into our Germany operation, has improved significantly and turned its first profit in several quarters.”

    “Looking ahead, we continue to be encouraged by the progress we are making in executing on our strategy across our businesses. Our past work is now beginning to yield results and we are excited by the great potential before us,” concluded Dellovo.

    Financial Results

    For the second quarter of fiscal 2016, revenue was $27.1 million compared with $18.9 million in the second quarter a year ago.

    Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 grew to 23.3% from 21.4% for the prior-year period due to leverage on higher volumes.

    Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $503,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $675,000, or $0.19 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

    Cash and short-term investments decreased to $10.0 million at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $11.2 million at year end 2015.  The decrease was the result of the payment of the quarterly dividends and purchase of capital equipment, partially offset by cash from operations.

Levine will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. (ET) today to review CSPi’s financial results and provide a business update.  To listen to a live webcast of the call, please visit the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at www.cspi.com.  Individuals may also listen to the call via telephone, by dialing 877-876-9174 or 785-424-1669.  For interested parties unable to participate in the live call, an archived version of the webcast will be available for approximately one year on CSPi’s website.
