Zoom Technologies Reports Q3 2007 Results, Including 56% Sales Increase
Monday October 29, 3:00 pm ET


BOSTON, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 29, 2007 -- Zoom Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqCM:ZOOM - News), a leading producer of modems and other communication products, today reported net sales of $5.6 million for its third quarter ended September 30, 2007, up 56% from $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2006. As reported in October 2006, Q3 2006 net sales were reduced by $0.5 million due to a major customer's shift to consignment.

Zoom reported an operating loss of $0.7 million for Q3 2007, a significant improvement over the operating loss of $1.8 million for Q3 2006. Zoom reported a net loss of $0.6 million or $0.07 per share for Q3 2007 compared to a net loss of $0.8 million or $0.09 per share for Q3 2006. Zoom's Q3 2006 net loss benefited from other income of $0.9 million, a portion of Zoom's gain from the sale of Intermute.

Zoom's sales in North America in Q3 2007 were up 43% over Q3 2006, with particular strength at retail. Zoom's sales outside North America in Q3 2007 were up 79%, with strong growth at retail in the UK.

Gross profit was $1.3 million or 23.2% of net sales in Q3 2007, up from $0.2 million or 6.7% of net sales in Q3 2006. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenues and lower fixed costs, as fixed costs benefited from the move of Zoom's North American final assembly, test, warehousing, and shipping facility from Boston to Tijuana.

Operating expenses were $2.0 million or 36.4% of net sales in Q3 2007 compared to $2.0 million or 55.7% of net sales in Q3 2006. Variable selling expenses went up in Q3 2007 due to higher revenues, but these increases were offset by reductions in G&A and R&D expenses.

Zoom's cash balance on September 30, 2007 was $3.7 million, down from $5.8 million on June 30, 2007. This change was primarily due to Zoom's previously reported $1.1 million investment in Unity Business Systems, $0.1 million Unity transaction costs, and Zoom's $0.6 million loss in the third quarter of 2007. Zoom's current ratio was 3.6 on September 30, 2007, and Zoom's working capital was $8.6 million. Shareholder equity on September 30, 2007 was $9.85 million, over $1 per share. Zoom has no long-term debt.

"Our results benefited from dramatically higher broadband modem sales, especially through retailers in the US and UK," said Frank Manning, Zoom's President and CEO. "DSL sales more than doubled, and our cable modem sales also increased dramatically. We have increased our broadband shelf space, and we are benefiting from end-users who like the features, warranty, and high performance per dollar that Zoom's modems provide. We are also benefiting from our successful efforts to reduce manufacturing fixed costs as well as the cost of many of our DSL modems. During Q3 2007 we closed our Florida customer support facility, consolidating all support in Boston. Our primary focus now is on growing sales through marketing and sales efforts, new product introductions, and superior logistics and customer support. We also made a strategic investment in Unity Business Systems in July 2007, and we continue to review strategic opportunities."

Zoom has scheduled a conference call for Monday, October 29th at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. You may access the conference call by dialing (888) 211-9937 for calls made within the United States and (913) 312-1276 for calls made from outside the United States.
