MPC Corporation Reports Unaudited Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

2008-08-14 18:00:00

    NAMPA, Idaho, Aug. 14 /EMWNews/ -- 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."
