OSI Systems Reports Revenues of $24.6 Million, Net Income of $0.08 Per Share Before Non-Recurring Restructuring Costs

    HAWTHORNE, Calif.--April 29, 1999--OSI Systems Inc. , today announced its revenues and earnings for the third quarter and nine months of its fiscal 1999 year, which ended March 31, 1999.
    Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 were $24.6 million, compared to $21.9 million for the third quarter of last year. Pro forma net income for the third quarter, which excludes non-recurring restructuring costs, was $771,000, and diluted earnings per share of $0.08 compared with net income of $2.1 million, and diluted earnings per share of $0.21, for the third quarter of last year.
    Taking into account the non-recurring above mentioned charges, the company reported net income of $380,000 and diluted earnings per share of $0.04 for the third quarter as compared to net income of $2.1 million, and diluted earnings per share of $0.21, for the third quarter of last year.
    Revenues for the nine months ending March 31, 1999, were $70.9 million, resulting in net income, before in-process research & development charges and restructuring costs, of $4.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.45. Factoring in the one-time charges, the company reported net income of $1.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.15. This compares with fiscal 1998 nine-month revenues of $69.1 million, net income of $5.9 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.68.
    "We continue to make progress in integrating the various acquisitions which were partly responsible for lower net earnings," said Deepak Chopra, OSI's chairman and chief executive officer.
    "Osteometer continues to further penetrate the U.S. market and unit sales volume for densiometers worldwide is increasing on a month to month basis, reflecting our vision for the growth prospects in the Osteoporosis Medical market. Metorex Security Products, which sells walk through metal detectors, had a good quarter with strong sales in the U.S. especially.
    "SMI's semiconductor production is slowly getting absorbed at UDT Sensor's Hawthorne Plant. It is taking us longer than originally anticipated," continued Chopra. "Management continues to work diligently in order to complete the integration of these acquisitions within a short period."
    OSI Systems Inc., headquartered in Hawthorne, Calif., manufactures and sells optical and pressure-sensitive electronics subsystems worldwide through its global network of sales and manufacturing facilities in Singapore, Malaysia, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
