HEI, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HEII) (http://www.heii.com) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, which ended September 29, 2012.

Sales for the third quarter were $9,882,000, compared to $9,221,000 for the third quarter of 2011. The Company generated a net loss of ($503,000) for the third quarter of 2012 compared to net income of $162,000 for the same period in 2011. Sales for the first nine months of 2012 were $28,595,000, compared to $28,215,000 for the first nine months of 2011. The Company generated a year-to-date net loss of ($1,012,000) for 2012 compared to a net income of $686,000 for the first nine months of 2011.

Sales were up 7.2% year-over-year in the third quarter as a result of increases in our Victoria operation which was partially offset by decreased sales in our other two operating divisions. Gross margins were down on a consolidated basis with Victoria gross margins improving as a result of improved efficiencies associated with the increased sales volumes while the other two operating divisions’ gross margins declined as a result of product mix changes and the lower sales levels as compared to the prior year. The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 included an increase to our reserve for inventory obsolescence of $380,000, which had no cash impact during the quarter.

“Increasing sales continues to be our focus and product demand and customer backlogs are strong in our Victoria plant, and our Tempe and Boulder divisions are working to increase sales penetration,” commented HEI CEO, Mark B. Thomas.

Also during the third quarter, Thomas Leahy resigned from the board of directors for personal reasons, and Timothy Floeder was elected to the board of directors. Mr. Leahy continues to be a significant shareholder of HEI.
