MPC Corporation Reports Unaudited Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Thursday, August 14, 2008 7:00 PM

NAMPA, Idaho, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MPC Corporation (Amex: MPZ) today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Net revenue was $125.4 million, an increase of $71.8 million, or 134%, compared to the same period in 2007. The net loss was $12.5 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted common share. These results compare with a net loss of $25.3 million, or $1.91 per basic and diluted common share, over the same period in 2007.

Gross margin percentage for the second quarter was 13.2 %, compared to 12.3% during the second quarter of 2007. The improvement in gross margin percentage was due primarily to an increase in revenue and gross margin from the company's Professional Business, where the increase in volume reduced the impact of our fixed manufacturing costs. SG&A expense for the quarter was $22.0 million, compared to $8.8 million during the second quarter of 2007, while R&D expense was $1.3 million, compared to $0.5 million during the second quarter of 2007. The increase in SG&A expense and R&D expense for the quarter was primarily due to additional expense from the acquisition of the Professional Business. The Professional Business was acquired from Gateway, Inc. on October 1, 2007.

As previously announced, during the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, MPC Corporation entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement (MSA) with Flextronics. Under the MSA, Flextronics will perform procurement, supply chain management, manufacturing, assembly and testing for MPC Corporation at the Flextronics manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico.

Additional financial details are available through the 10-Q filed today.

'Delays in manufacturing and customer deliveries, and service and support issues have caused our inventory and accounts payable to grow materially throughout the first six months of 2008,' noted MPC Corporation's Chairman and CEO, John Yeros. 'Nevertheless, we anticipate the outsourcing of our manufacturing operations could result in potential manufacturing and overhead cost savings. Our revenue backlog at the end of the second quarter was in excess of $104 million, so we are looking forward to catching up with customer orders as we complete this transition.'
