LAFOX, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ:RELL - News) today reported net sales for the third quarter ended February 28, 2009, of $110.3 million, a 20.6% decrease from net sales of $138.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $11.4 million, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million in the prior year. The net loss of $11.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 includes $9.7 million of significant charges primarily due to the write-off of $5.8 million of software development costs as a result of the decision that it would be too costly and disruptive to proceed with the related system implementation. Excluding the $9.7 million of significant charges, net loss would have been $1.7 million. A complete reconciliation of these items is provided within this press release under the heading “Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information.”

Gross margin was $23.7 million, or 21.5%, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, which includes $2.0 million of expense for increased inventory reserves related to exiting certain markets and product lines, low-margin customers, and the analog to digital broadcast conversion. The gross margin percentage during the third quarter reflects the fact that sales within the Company’s higher-margin businesses, specifically the Electron Device Group and Canvys, declined at a faster rate than sales for the RF, Wireless and Power Division.
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 were $27.7 million, or 25.1% of net sales. The SG&A costs for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 include $1.2 million of severance expense and $0.7 million of expense related to the write-off of a long-term note receivable. Excluding these items, SG&A for the third quarter would have been $25.8 million.
“Given our sales decline, we aggressively reduced our operating cost structure. We accelerated staffing reductions, acted upon underperforming business lines and customers, and reduced discretionary spending. We believe these actions, the majority of which are permanent, should lead to significantly improved financial performance,” said Edward J. Richardson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Richardson Electronics, Ltd.
