Mikron Infrared, Inc. Reports Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2007

Mikron Infrared, Inc. (NASD: MIKR) announced its financial results for the first quarter of its fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. Mikron’s first quarter sales were the highest achieved in any first quarter. Sales of $8,890,795 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were 6.6% higher than the $8,343,001 of sales achieved during the same quarter in fiscal 2006. Operating income decreased from $1,328,259 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, to $1,119,088 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, a 16% quarter-to-quarter comparative decrease. Both basic and fully diluted earnings per share were $0.13 for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $0.14 for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Gerry Posner, Mikron’s President, commented that: "The first quarter of fiscal 2007 has shown robust growth in fixed single point sales. Mikron’s European units continued to outperform last year’s sales while the North American operations have experienced a decline in sales compared to the first quarter last year. This resulted in an increase over the comparable quarter last year of 11% in sales. We were also pleased to see our gross margin increase from 54.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to 57.3% in the first fiscal quarter of 2007. This increase is attributed to product mix and a fuller absorption of overhead at the higher sales level. Total sales remained sequentially flat with the previous two quarters reflecting the more difficult sales environment in the portable thermal imaging segment of our business.” Dennis Stoneman, Mikron’s Executive Vice President said: "We continue to experience pricing pressures in our portable thermal imaging product line. This has led us to focus more of our attention to our fixed thermal imaging business, where we are selling complete systems.” Paul Kohmescher, Mikron’s Chief Financial Officer stated: "In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, Mikron’s operating income was adversely impacted by almost $300,000 of expenses related to our recently announced agreement to sell the company.” About Mikron Infrared, Inc.
