Advanced Photonix, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2008 Results

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Advanced Photonix, Inc.(R) (AMEX:API) (the "Company") today reported its third quarter fiscal 2008 results ending December 28, 2007. Net sales for the quarter were $5.31 million, a decrease of $575,000, or 10%, compared to revenues of $5.88 million for the quarter ended December 29, 2006. The Company reported a GAAP net loss of $2.73 million, or ($.11) per share fully diluted for the quarter, as compared with a GAAP net loss of $964,000, or ($0.05) per share fully diluted, for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

The Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was $(892,000), or $(0.04) per share fully diluted, compared to a Non-GAAP net income of $256,000, or $0.01 per share fully diluted, for the comparable period a year ago.

On an EBITDA basis (which is defined as GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), the Company reported a loss of $1.49 million in EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. This compares to generating $194,000 in EBIDTA for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP and EBITDA financial measures reported herein to the Company's income as measured by generally accepted accounting principles is presented below.

The Company's revenues for the quarter ended December 28, 2007 were $5.31 million, a decrease of $575,000, or 9.8% from revenues of $5.88 million for the quarter ended December 29, 2006. Year to date revenues are 3.2% higher than the previous nine-month period, or $553,000.

While the telecommunications market revenues for the first nine months are approximately 2% higher than the prior year, they were 14% lower in the quarter ended December 28, 2007 (Q3 2008) as compared to the quarter ended December 29, 2006 (Q3 2007). Telecommunications market revenues for Q3 2008 were $1.52 million, a decrease of $245,000 from Q3 2007 revenues of $1.77 million. The shortfall was not caused by lack of demand, it was a result of delays in shipments of new 40G design wins due to difficulties our customers have experienced within their supply chain that have caused delays in their product shipments. Our customers continue to be optimistic about the prospects for growth for our 40 Gbps product lines. We expect shipments for this product offering to resume in Q4 2008 resulting in modest growth for the year.

Medical market revenues for Q3 2008 were $372,000, a decrease of 36% (or $206,000) from Q3 2007 revenues of $578,000. This decrease is a result of end of life product discontinuance by a customer. Any customer end of life purchases for their discontinued product is expected to be completed by the end of FY 2008. The Company expects Medical market revenue to be minimal for the Q4 2008.

Industrial Sensing/NDT market revenues decreased to $2.01 million in Q3 2008, a decrease of 12% (or $273,000) from Q3 2007 revenues of $2.29 million, due primarily to the Company's decision to stop supplying a low value added opto-electronic contract manufacturing part and loss of revenue experienced as result of the manufacturing delays during the closure of our Wisconsin facility, offset by increases in the THz/NDT revenue. We expect double digit growth for this portion of the market for the balance of the fiscal year.

Military/Aerospace market revenues were $1.23 million, an increase of 6% (or $67,000) from the comparable prior period revenues of $1.16 million. This increase is attributable to an increase in orders in Q3 2008, which were delayed from the 1st half of the fiscal year. Overall, the Company expects modest growth in Q4 2008, but military revenues will be down for the year.

The Company had Homeland Security revenues in Q3 2008 of $170,000 compared to Q3 2007 revenues of $88,000. The Company expects revenue in Homeland Security to increase substantially in the Q4 2008.

Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are disappointed with our year over year third quarter comparisons, but remain confident that we will end up 2008 well ahead of last year. We have made significant investments in people and infrastructure this year, and now have the capacity to meet the growing demands we are experiencing for our HSOR product platform, particularly in 40G. The successful completion of the private equity placement in the third quarter, netting the Company $4.3 million, along with the conversion of $3.2 million of debt to equity, allowed us to substantially deleverage our balance sheet and provide additional funds to help us grow future revenues and earnings. We are particularly excited by the broadening application development activities that occurred with our Terahertz product platform during the third quarter, bringing us closer to potential full-scale commercial deployment in a number of commercial, industrial and governmental sectors. Finally, we successfully closed the Dodgeville, WI facility in December 2007, consolidating all assembly manufacturing into Camarillo, CA, which will result in significant cost savings and position us solidly for the future."

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss the results for the third quarter ended December 28, 2007 on Monday, February 11, 2008, at 5:00 PM EST. Participants can dial into the conference call at 888-680-0892 (617-213-4858 for international) using the pass code 79490208.

The information contained herein includes forward looking statements that are based on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable but are subject to inherent uncertainties and risks including, but not limited to, risks associated with the move of our wafer fabrication facilities, technological obsolescence of existing product lines and technological obstacles which may prevent or slow the development and/or manufacture of new products, limited (or slower than anticipated) customer acceptance of new products which have been and are being developed by the Company and a decline in the general demand for optoelectronic products.
