Aerosonic Reports First Quarter Results

CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aerosonic Corporation (NYSE Amex: AIM), a leading supplier of precision flight products for commercial, business and military aircraft, announced that today it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-months ended April 29, 2011, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 decreased $222,000, or 3%, to $6,709,000 when compared to $6,931,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the sales volume decreased from the prior year by approximately $674,000 on reduced demand for mechanical instruments, transmitter products, and sensor products, offset by approximately $445,000 of increased sales volume of repairs, contributing to the net decrease of $222,000.

For the quarter ended April 29, 2011, net loss was approximately ($317,000) or ($0.08) basic and diluted loss per share, versus net income of approximately $259,000, or $0.07 basic and $0.06 diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended April 30, 2010.

Doug Hillman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The first quarter was impacted by continued slowness in the business jet and general aviation markets, as well as the cost of investing in several improvements. This includes closing the Charlottesville repair station and moving those capabilities to Clearwater, an action taken to further improve customer support while reducing our operating costs. We expect to complete most of these investments during the first half of the year, setting the stage for improved performance in the second half of our fiscal year.”

Aerosonic Corporation, headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, is principally engaged in the manufacture of aviation products. For additional information, visit the Company’s website at www.aerosonic.com.
