Memry's principal SMA is a nickel-titanium alloy called nitinol. Approximately 95% of the Company's sales are to the medical device industry. Memry reported a 1.1% decline in second quarter fiscal 2007 revenue to $12.5 million and a net loss of $280,000, or $0.01 per share (diluted), compared with a net loss of $236,000, or $0.01 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) A metric used to show a company's profitability, but not its cash flow. EBITDA became popular in the 1980s to show the potential profitability of leveraged buyouts, but has become declined 48% to $1.1 million, or 8.6% of revenue, from $2.0 million, or 16.2% of revenue a year earlier. Second quarter results fell short of our break-even estimate mainly because of lower-than-projected revenue and gross margin. In discussing the outlook for the balance of fiscal 2007, Memry's management cautioned that it expects weakness in the Company's nitinol products segment's revenue and margins to continue for the rest of the fiscal year. We reduced our full-year fiscal 2007 diluted earnings estimate for Memry from $0.08 per share to $0.01 per share, versus $0.11 per share in fiscal 2006 excluding one-time separation expense of $0.02 per share. Our fiscal 2008 diluted earnings estimate is $0.05 per share. We believe that Memry's long-term prospects are bright. Nevertheless, in light of the uninspiring uninspiring Adjective not likely to make people interested or excited Adj. 1. uninspiring - depressing to the spirit; "a villa of uninspiring design" inspiring - stimulating or exalting to the spirit near-term earnings outlook, we are maintaining our Neutral rating on the Company's shares.
