Highlights Financial Sales & Marketing Third Quarter Fiscal 2010 Financial Results Net income for the third quarter was $0.1 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $13.4 million or $0.88 per diluted share for the comparable quarter of the prior year. Cash flow from operations in the quarter was ($0.6) million compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Orders for the quarter were approximately $36.4 million, compared to $30.5 million in the third quarter of the prior year, an increase of 19%. Backlog as of March 31, 2010 was $30.2 million compared to $33.4 million at December 31, 2009. Please refer to the schedule following the reported GAAP results which shows a reconciliation of these GAAP results to non-GAAP adjusted results, and the notes below explaining management's reasons for providing certain non-GAAP financial measures. Introducing New Consumables Trade Shows Significant Announcements Comments "Going forward, we are focused on new uses for our technology. I am pleased about an increasing demand for our consumables, primarily driven through our environmentally friendly product offerings and an overall trend in the industry towards shorter runs that require more cleaning. As highlighted above, we are introducing a new consumable, the CleanPac cleaning cloths. We are also pursuing several global projects for supply chain management and standardization and global procurement to reduce material costs. As a market leader, Baldwin offers a complete spectrum of products, related consumables and services through a well established global network in all major markets for print," Puehringer concluded. Vice President and CFO John P. Jordan said, "Cash flow from operations during the quarter was slightly less than break even, which was attributable to timing of customer deposits (decreased by $2.5 million). The controllable components of working capital, on the other hand, contributed $0.9 million to operating cash flow." "Total debt at March 31, 2010 of $18.7 million is $1.3 million less than at December 31, 2009 and $9.2 million less than at 2009 fiscal year end, resulting primarily from the application of the patent infringement suit settlement proceeds received during the second quarter. The Company has met its EBITDA and liquidity covenants under the Credit Agreement Amendment completed July 31, 2009, but the currency-adjusted net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2010 were less than the amount required under the Agreement. The banks agreed to waive that breach." "Operating expenses for the quarter of $11.0 million were $0.6 million lower than third quarter fiscal 2009 operating expenses of $11.6 million after adjusting for a nonrecurring charge in 2009. Excluding the unfavorable currency effect, operating expenses were $1.2 million or 10% lower than prior year adjusted operating expenses. The current year quarter results reflect the full benefit of restructuring and cost reductions that were started during the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2009. Year to date operating expenses were $7.1 million (18%) less than prior year, excluding the unfavorable currency effect and adjusted for a non-recurring charge." "The Company is well positioned to leverage its lower cost structure to deliver higher margins from any additional business that should emanate from a recovery when the world's economies and demand for print equipment recover from the recent economic contraction. We will continue our diligence in managing costs to maintain profitable operations," Jordan concluded.
