PHOENIX, Nov. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Radyne Corporation (Nasdaq:RADN), today reported sales of $38.4 million and earnings of $0.19 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2007. This compares to sales of $32.1 million and earnings of $0.15 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2006. For the first three quarters of 2007, sales were $102.3 million and earnings per diluted share were $0.43 compared to $97.9 million and $0.44 for the same period last year. Sales for the third quarter set a new company record surpassing the previous sales record of $36.8 million set during the fourth quarter of 2005.
Year-to-date as well as quarterly results included two months from the Company's recently acquired AeroAstro business unit totaling $2.3 million in sales. AeroAstro designs and builds small and microsatellites and related technologies and operates the Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS), which provides cost effective satellite based low data rate communications and asset tracking around the world.
The company booked $33.1 million in new orders during the period generating a backlog of $40.3 million. In the year-earlier period, Radyne booked $32.1 million in new orders, resulting in a backlog of $33.2 million. During the month of October, the company booked an additional $22.6 million in new orders.
"We are continuing to execute the objectives outlined in our growth strategy," commented Myron Wagner, CEO. "Sustained strength in our Xicom amplifier business coupled with the penetration of the troposcatter modems market and continued strong interest in our Skywire(tm) product line are positioning our core businesses for stabilized growth. The integration of our newest business, AeroAstro remains on plan, and we look forward to reporting further growth next quarter."
Reported earnings included equity compensation expense of $392,000 during the third quarter of 2007 which reduced EPS by $0.01 per share. Third quarter 2006 equity compensation expense was $924,000 which had the effect of reducing earnings per diluted share by $0.03.
At the end of the third quarter, Radyne's cash balance dropped to $19.9 million from $27.5 million at the end of 2006. As mentioned above, during the third quarter, Radyne completed its purchase of AeroAstro, Inc. for $18.5 million which consisted of $17.2 million of cash, assumption of $354,000 of debt (net of cash acquired), and stock valued at $897,000 at the time of the acquisition announcement.
