DULUTH: Wegener Corp.’s final results for the first quarter of its fiscal 2010 were in line with its preliminaries. Wegener posted a net loss of $990,000, or 8 cents a share, on revenues of $1.9 million in the quarter ending Nov. 27, 2009. Year-earlier net loss was $1.2 million on revenues of $2.3 million.
The 18-month backlog was $4.2 million at the end of F1Q10, compared to $8.1 million F1Q09. Total backlog was $6.6 million compared to $12.5 million. Bookings in the most recently completed quarter were $1.8 million compared to $1.3 million a year earlier.
“As mentioned when we released the preliminary results for first quarter, we continued to cut costs in the first quarter and the fiscal 2010 first quarter operating results reflect approximately $247,000 in severance costs compared to $24,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009,” said Troy Woodbury, president and CEO of Wegener.
Wegener was delisted from the NASDAQ (WGNR) in December for noncompliance. Wegener executives will appear before a NASDAQ hearings panel Jan. 13 to present a plan for meeting listing requirements.
“I believe that our plan is reasonable and is achievable,” Woodbury said. “Also, while I am not giving specific earnings guidance, I do believe the second quarter of fiscal 2010 will have improved operating results over the first quarter.”
