Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Second quarter 2013 net sales were $24.6 million, a $4.3 million, or 22 percent, increase compared with $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, and a decrease of $10.3 million, or 30 percent, compared to net sales $34.9 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Gross margin in the second quarter of 2013 was 34 percent, a 12 percentage point improvement compared with the 22 percent gross margin reported in the first quarter of 2013 and a four percentage point deterioration compared with the 38 percent gross margin in the second quarter of 2012. The significant improvement in gross margin in the second quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to a more typical product mix of system sales as compared to the last quarter when approximately 85 percent of our system shipments consisted of our lower margin strip products.
Total operating expenses were $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, which represents a $2.6 million, or 18 percent, decrease as compared with the first quarter of 2013 and $4.8 million, or 29 percent, decrease as compared with the second quarter of 2012. Excluding restructuring and other charges, non-GAAP operating expenses were $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2013, which represents a $0.7 million, or 6 percent, decrease compared with the first quarter of 2013 and a $4.4 million, or 28 percent, decrease as compared to the second quarter of 2012.
Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $3.6 million, or a $0.06 net loss per share. This compares to a net loss of $9.5 million, or a $0.16 net loss per share, in the first quarter of 2013, and a net loss of $3.3 million, or a $0.06 net loss per share, reported in the second quarter of 2012.
