The company reported strong financial performance with an 8% revenue increase and a 20% EPS rise. While SG&A expenses increased, the company maintained manageable debt levels and reduced interest expenses. Share repurchases of $30 million reflect confidence in cash flow. Positive guidance and strong bookings further support a positive outlook. Despite some margin pressures, the overall sentiment is positive, especially with expected margin improvements and continued revenue growth.
Revenue $146 million, up 8% year-over-year. The increase was attributed to strong performance across business units and effective execution of the company's strategy.
Cash from Operations $36 million, exceeding the high end of the guided range. This was driven by timing of collection activities, lower-than-anticipated inventory, and payments received in connection with settlement of foreign currency hedges.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) $0.24, up 20% year-over-year. The increase was due to strong revenue growth and operational efficiency.
MedTech & Specialty Audio Revenue $67 million, up 10% year-over-year. Growth was driven by increased demand in Hearing Health and Specialty Audio markets.
MedTech & Specialty Audio Gross Margins 50.6%, down 280 basis points year-over-year. The decline was due to unfavorable product mix and higher factory costs.
Precision Devices Revenue $79 million, up 6% year-over-year. Growth was attributed to increased revenue across all end markets for both OEM and distribution partners.
Precision Devices Gross Margins 38.7%, up 150 basis points year-over-year. The improvement was due to better pricing and higher production volumes, partially offset by higher scrap costs and factory inefficiencies.
R&D Expense $9 million, slightly up from Q2 2024 levels. The increase was attributed to ongoing investments in research and development.
SG&A Expense $28 million, up $2 million year-over-year. The increase was driven by annual merit increases and higher incentive compensation costs.
