Diluted EPS Increase 30% on Fewer Diluted Shares Outstanding
LARGO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 05/16/11 -- Unilens Vision Inc. (OTCBB: UVIC) (TSX-V: UVI), which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, today reported its operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of FY2011.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 (third quarter of FY2011), total revenue including royalty income declined 4.4% to approximately $2.2 million, compared with approximately $2.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Sales of the Company's specialty contact lenses were relatively unchanged at approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of each fiscal year. Royalty income decreased 14.0% to approximately $0.6 million in the most recent quarter, compared with approximately $0.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Declines in sales of disposable contact lenses and replacement/other lens categories were more than offset by increased sales of the Company's custom soft lenses during the quarter. The Company believes that the continued impact of a soft U.S. economy upon the specialty contact lens market and a competitor's new disposable multifocal lenses and rebate programs, were primarily responsible for softness in sales and royalty income in the third quarter of FY2011, when compared with the year-earlier period.
Pretax income decreased 1.9% to $442,177 in the third quarter of FY2011, compared with $450,559 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The modest decline in pretax income was primarily attributable to lower royalty income and gross profits, largely offset by a 12.9% decrease in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
The Company reported net income of $296,792 in the most recent quarter, for an increase of 7.7% when compared with net income of $275,569 in last year's third fiscal quarter. The Company earned $0.13 per diluted share in the third quarter of FY2011, which represented an increase of 30.0% versus earnings of $0.10 per diluted share in the third quarter of FY2010. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 2,369,354 common shares in the FY2011 third quarter, versus 2,855,684 diluted shares in the prior-year quarter. The 17% decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding resulted from the Company's repurchase of a large block of common stock from its previously largest shareholder on January 20, 2010.
"I am very pleased to report that sales in our custom soft lens category increased approximately 34% in the third fiscal quarter, reflecting our continued success in converting customers from the C-Vue Advanced Toric Multifocal lens free trial program into purchasers of revenue-generating boxes, and initial sales of our recently launched C-VUE Advanced® HydraVUE™ line of completely customizable silicone hydrogel contact lenses for monthly replacement," observed Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "Increased sales of these custom soft lenses more than offset declines in our disposable lens category and sales of replacement and other lenses, thereby allowing us to report a modest total sales increase in the most recent quarter. We believe the decline in royalty income from Bausch & Lomb during the third quarter continued to reflect new competitive product offerings and associated rebate programs in the disposable multifocal lens product category."
"Looking forward, we continue to believe that Unilens can realize significant sales growth by targeting the specialty segment of the contact lens market in order to benefit from demographic trends in America, and by working closely with independent eye care practitioners to develop sales and marketing strategies that can increase patient retention and practice profitability," continued Pecora. "As the 40 and over presbyopic population continues to grow faster than the population as a whole, the demand for custom and other specialty contact lenses should increase at an accelerating pace, as well," concluded Pecora.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, total revenue including royalty income decreased 6.1% to approximately $6.5 million, compared with approximately $6.9 million in the first nine months of FY2010. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a 3.7% decline in sales of the Company's various types of specialty contact lenses and an 11.0% decline in royalty income.
Pretax income decreased 23.2% to $1,456,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared with $1,895,360 in the prior-year period. The decrease in pretax income was primarily attributable to lower sales, royalty income and gross profit, along with an increase in interest expense related to the Company's loan with Regions Bank, partly offset by a reduction in SG&A expenses.
The Company reported net income of $978,878 for the first nine months of FY2011, a decrease of 18.1% when compared with net income of $1,194,965 in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The Company earned $0.41 per diluted share in the first nine months of FY2011, which represented an increase of 36.7% when compared with earnings of $0.30 per diluted share in the first nine months of FY2010. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 2,369,354 common shares in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, versus 3,998,122 diluted shares in the prior-year period.
The Company recently declared its 19th consecutive quarterly cash dividend, in the amount of $0.045 per share of common stock outstanding. The amount and frequency of future dividends will depend upon earnings, cash flow, and other aspects of the Company's business as determined and declared by the Board of Directors.

Unilens Vision Inc. Announces Amendment to Term Loan Facility, Capital Equipment Financing and Reduction in Quarterly Cash Dividend
Marketwire - Apr 04 08:28 EDT

Company Symbols: TorontoVE:UVI, OTC-PINK:UVIC
LARGO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/04/11 -- Unilens Vision Inc. (OTCBB: UVIC) (OTCQB: UVIC) (TSX-V: UVI), which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, today announced an amendment to its term loan facility with Regions Bank and a reduction to its quarterly cash dividend.
The amendment to the term loan facility reduces the Company's minimum monthly principal repayment from $100,000 to $54,762, retaining the January 2015 expiration date, at which time a final balloon payment will be due, although additional quarterly principal payments (not to exceed the original amortization in the aggregate) will be payable to the extent the Company generates cash flow in excess of certain specified amounts. In addition, Regions Bank is providing the Company with a new seven-year credit facility of up to $500,000 for capital equipment financing.
In conjunction with the amendment to the term loan facility, the Company's Board of Directors has voted to reduce the quarterly cash dividend payable to common shareholders to $0.045 per share from the previous quarterly cash dividend rate of $0.09 per share.
"We are very pleased to announce the amendment to our term loan facility with Regions Bank and the bank's agreement to extend the Company up to $500,000 in credit for capital equipment financing," stated Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "When combined with the reduction in our quarterly cash dividend, our monthly cash flows from operations will improve significantly, thereby allowing us to expand our manufacturing capabilities and further develop our sales and marketing initiatives in support of the growth that we anticipate from our Custom lens category sales in coming years. As the 40 and over presbyopic population continues to grow faster than the population as a whole, we believe the ability to satisfy the increasing demand for existing and future toric multifocal and multifocal contact lens product offerings will create substantial value for our shareholders. Although we considered it necessary to reduce the cash dividend in order to achieve these strategic objectives, the new quarterly cash dividend rate still provides a healthy annualized yield of 3.9%, based upon the most recent closing stock price of $4.60 per share."

Unilens Vision Reports Second Quarter Operating Results, Including 67% Increase in Diluted EPS ($0.15 vs. $0.09) on Fewer Shares Outstanding

Company's Emphasis Upon Specialty Contact Lenses Anticipates Above-Average Growth of America's Presbyopic Population
LARGO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/14/11 -- Unilens Vision Inc. (OTCBB: UVIC) (TSX-V: UVI), which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, today reported its operating results for the second quarter and first half of FY2011.
For the three months ended December 31, 2010 (second quarter of FY2011), total revenue including royalty income declined 2.6% to approximately $2.1 million, compared with approximately $2.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009. Sales of the Company's specialty contact lenses declined 1.5%, while royalty income decreased 4.8%, when compared with the prior-year quarter. The Company believes that the continued impact of a soft U.S. economy upon the specialty contact lens market and new product offerings by competitors were the primary reasons for lower sales and royalty income in the second quarter of FY2011, when compared with the year-earlier quarter.
Pretax income decreased 20.6% to $519,659 in the second quarter of FY2011, compared with $654,071 in the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The reduction in pretax income was primarily attributable to lower sales and royalty income and an increase in interest expense related to the Company's loan with Regions Bank, which financed the repurchase of 48% of the Company's previously outstanding shares in January 2010; partially offset by lower administrative and sales and marketing ("SG&A") expenses.
The Company reported net income of $350,237 in the most recent quarter, a decrease of 17.7% when compared with net income of $425,308 in last year's second fiscal quarter. The Company earned $0.15 per diluted share in the second quarter of FY2011, which represented an increase of 66.7% versus earnings of $0.09 per diluted share in the second quarter of FY2010. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 2,369,354 common shares in the FY2011 second quarter, versus 4,557,852 diluted shares in the prior-year quarter. The 48% decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding resulted from the Company's repurchase of 2,188,861 outstanding shares of common stock on January 20, 2010.
"Sales of our custom soft lens category increased significantly in the second quarter as our C-Vue Advanced Toric Multifocal lenses continue to gain traction in the marketplace, almost completely offsetting declines in our disposable lens category," observed Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "The C-Vue Advanced Toric Multifocal was introduced in the first quarter of Fiscal 2010 with a free trial option, and sales have increased as eye care professionals convert trial fits to revenue-generating sales. We expect a similar phenomenon over time with our recently introduced C-Vue Advanced® HydraVUE™ line of silicone hydrogel custom contact lenses for monthly replacement, which are completely customizable and feature a risk-free trial program and exceptional deliverability."
"Although sales and royalties were lower than prior-year levels in the second quarter, we are encouraged that the 1.5% decline in our specialty contact lens sales represented an improvement relative to a 9.2% decrease in the first quarter, while the 4.8% decline in royalty income was much less severe than the 14.0% first quarter decrease. Longer-term, we believe that the specialty segment of the contact lens market will benefit significantly as the presbyopic population continues to grow at a faster rate than America's population as a whole, and we have positioned our Company to benefit from such trends by providing independent practitioners with specialty contact lens options that contribute to patient retention and practice profitability," concluded Pecora.
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, net sales including royalty income decreased 7% to approximately $4.3 million, compared with approximately $4.6 million in the first half of FY2010. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a 5.7% decline in sales of the Company's various types of specialty contact lenses and a 9.4% decline in royalty income.
Pretax income decreased 29.8% to $1,013,823 in the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared with $1,444,801 in the prior-year period. The decrease in pretax income was primarily attributable to lower sales and royalty income and an increase in interest expense related to the Company's loan with Regions Bank, partly offset by a modest reduction in SG&A expenses.
The Company reported net income of $682,086 for the first half of FY2011, a decrease of 25.8% when compared with net income of $919,396 in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. The Company earned $0.29 per diluted share in the first six months of FY2011, which represented an increase of 45.0% when compared with earnings of $0.20 per diluted share in the first six months of FY2010. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 2,369,354 common shares in the six months ended December 31, 2010, versus 4,556,969 diluted shares in the prior-year period.
The Company recently declared its 18th consecutive quarterly cash dividend, in the amount of $0.09 per share of common stock outstanding. The amount and frequency of future dividends will depend upon earnings, cash flow, and other aspects of the Company's business as determined and declared by the Board of Directors.

UVIC.. $03.09
Aththe current leveland new products on stream,, UVIC should trade higher in the next year.. While not a barn burner UVIC offers downside protection with it's dividend...
The interest here in the company really dried up quickly. The report wasnt bad, looks to me like they stopped losing sales.
The only thing im comfortable doing a DCF calclulation is my hewlett packard calc which is lost but Ill try and explain my reasoning whithout any hard numbers.
If you assume the royalty income continues in its present amount, it's about 2.8 million a year. Ill just say three.
So 3 mil for six years is 18 mil. Or less depending on the rate you use. The market value of the stock with the new share count is around 12.4 mil. And then theres about 4 mil of debt net of cash and recievables, inventory etc.
When the share repurchase was announced, I wondered how bausch and lomb missed that one. The royalty they pay alone would have been able to finance the stock purchase.
I guess what I was thinking was let the cash flows from the royalty finance the buyout and you get 6 million of annual revenues for very very cheap. Seems to me those numbers would jive for a bausch and lomb or a coopervision looking to grow revenues by aquisition.
OK I keep saying I haven't sat down and done a DCF so here is a link for anyone that is curious and you can plug in your own assumptions.
http://www.lasvegas4us.com/JwwDCF/discounted_cash_flow_calculator.htm
After plugging in a few things one thing I could see is perhaps Baker Street would try to get the company to liquidate its current business and sell the royalty? To me its not worth the risk for the upside at the levels they paid anyway.
I haven't sat down and done a DCF but I think there would have to be a non-trivial amount of royalty income in 2016 and beyond (when the last adjustment occurs to the royalty) for the present value of the royalty to be worth more then the current share price. Since I sold out my thinking was/is there is very little to nothing coming from the royalty when the patents end. So one is left with the underlying business which from the PR looked negative. I am not sure what Baker Street Capital sees perhaps they have more insight into the royalty or see something I am missing?
I sold half my position friday. Had a feeling it was Baker Street Capital that set the price at 4.60 and was buying anything and everything. Its now a twenty percent owner.
I was expecting the royalty income to increase at least. They are not making enough right now to even cover the dividend after paying down the principle on the note.
I wonder if someones intending to sell this comapany out. The present value of the royalty income out six and a half years is worth close to the value of the stock right now I imagine. Went looking for my financial calculator but it has dissappeared.
I got rid of my remaining shares today was hoping to hold for long term capital gains tax but the report scared me along with the fear the market will start discounting the royalty as it approaches its end.
Surprised the stock held up this well!
Unilens Vision Reports Third Quarter Operating Results
Nine-Month Diluted E.P.S. of $0.30 Compare With $0.28 in Prior-Year Period
On Friday May 28, 2010, 12:01 pm
LARGO, FL--(Marketwire - 05/28/10) - Unilens Vision Inc. (OTC.BB:UVIC - News) (TSX-V:UVI - News), which develops, licenses, manufactures, distributes and markets specialty contact lenses, today reported its operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of FY2010.
Royalty income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased slightly to a third quarter record of $734,803, compared with $734,249 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Sales of licensed products by the Company's licensee, Bausch & Lomb, continued to increase, resulting in higher royalty income.
Net sales excluding royalty income declined to $1,535,454 in the most recent quarter, versus $1,701,043 in the third quarter of FY2009. The decrease in sales was primarily due to a soft U.S. economy and increased competition from new product offerings and rebate programs.
FY2010 third quarter pretax income decreased 39.5% to $450,559, compared with $745,249 in the third quarter of FY2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to (1) a reduction in gross profit resulting from lower sales, (2) one-time administrative expenses of approximately $110,000 associated with stock compensation expense and the migration of the Company's corporate presence from Canada to the U.S., and (3) interest expense and amortization of loan fees of approximately $60,000 related to financing of the stock repurchase completed in January 2010.
After recording net income tax expense of $174,990, the Company reported net income of $275,569 in the most recent quarter, a decrease of 38.3% when compared with net income of $446,850 in the year-earlier quarter (after income tax expense of $298,399). The Company earned $0.10 per diluted share in the third quarter of FY2010, versus earnings of $0.10 per diluted share in the third quarter of FY2009. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 2,855,684 common shares in the FY2010 third quarter, versus 4,555,678 diluted shares in the prior-year quarter. The 37% decrease in average diluted shares resulted from the Company's repurchase of 2,188,861 outstanding shares of common stock on January 20, 2010.
"The decline in third quarter earnings was primarily due to the introduction of new products and marketing programs by certain competitors in the midst of an economic recession, combined with one-time administrative expenses," stated Michael Pecora, Chief Executive Officer of Unilens Vision Inc. "We have developed strategies to address recent competitive challenges and will continue to build upon our reputation as 'The Independent Eye Care Professionals' Contact Lens Company'. Meanwhile, our royalty income stream continues to grow as Bausch & Lomb utilizes our proprietary technology in new products and markets its contact lenses in an expanding number of countries around the world."
Royalty income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 increased 6.6% to a record $2,253,865, compared with $2,114,215 in the first nine months of FY2009, demonstrating continued sales growth of licensed products by Bausch & Lomb.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, net sales excluding royalty income declined to $4,633,666, compared with $4,992,811 in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. Net sales of the Company's C-Vue brand disposable contact lenses increased approximately 0.5% during the first nine months of FY2010, while sales of custom lenses and replacement products continued to decline, as expected.
Pretax income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 decreased 10.6% to $1,895,360, compared with $2,120,225 in the prior-year period. After recording net income tax expense of $700,395, the Company reported net income of $1,194,965, for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, versus net income (after income tax expense of $848,063) of $1,272,162 in the first nine months of FY2009. The Company earned $0.30 per diluted share in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, versus earnings per diluted share of $0.28 in the prior-year period. Diluted per-share earnings were calculated on 3,998,122 common shares in the first nine months of FY2010, compared with 4,556,425 diluted shares in the corresponding period in FY2009. The 12% decrease in average diluted shares resulted from the Company's repurchase of 2,188,861 outstanding shares of common stock in January 2010.
