Allied Motion Reports Profit for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2009

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 4, 2009--Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOT) today announced it achieved net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, of $279,000 or $.04 per diluted share compared to net income of $704,000 or $.09 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Revenues for the quarter were down 30% to $14,980,000 compared to $21,538,000 last year. Bookings for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, were $15,703,000, down 14% when compared to the $18,308,000 for the same quarter last year. Backlog at September 30, 2009, was $25,904,000, reflecting a 7% decrease from September 30, 2008, and a 10% increase from the backlog at the end of 2008.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $12,566,000 or $1.67 per diluted share compared to net income of $2,629,000 or $.35 per diluted share for the same nine months last year. The loss includes a pretax asset impairment charge of $15,986,000 ($11,105,000 after tax) and inventory adjustments of $600,000 ($417,000 after tax) primarily for excess and obsolete inventories recorded in the second quarter of 2009. Revenues for the first nine months this year were $44,215,000 compared to $68,399,000 for the same period last year, or a 35% decrease. Bookings for the first nine months this year were $45,843,000, down 29% when compared to the $64,499,000 for the same nine months last year.

The Company ended the third quarter with $2,750,000 of cash and $800,000 of bank debt as compared with $2,962,000 of cash and $2,400,000 of bank debt at June 30, 2009, or an improvement in our net cash and debt position of $1,388,000 for the quarter. The Company used $212,000 of cash during the third quarter which included repayment of its $2,400,000 term loan with the bank and drawing $800,000 on its bank line of credit. The repayment of the term loan was done as a result of amending its bank credit agreement during the third quarter, which now provides up to $8,000,000 and €2,000,000 of borrowing availability, amends certain financial covenants and waives violation of one of the previous financial covenants. The amended agreement is scheduled to terminate July 31, 2010, unless extended by the bank and the Company.

“While the Company continues to be adversely affected by the economy, we are encouraged by the third quarter results,” commented Dick Warzala, President and CEO of Allied Motion. “We did see improvements in our third quarter as compared to the second quarter with bookings up 19% and revenues up 7.5%. Additionally, our cost saving initiatives allowed us to generate a profit even though sales were down 30% from the same quarter of the previous year. As announced last week, in addition to creating positive technology synergies, we expect to realize annual savings in excess of $500,000 through the consolidation of our COPI encoder operation in Chatsworth, Calif., into our Emoteq facility in Tulsa, Okla. The move is expected to be complete by the end of 2009. Our balance sheet continues to strengthen and our operations continue to improve through the utilization of our AST lean enterprise tools. The productivity improvements and our new design activities allows us to have a positive outlook for the long-term growth prospects of Allied Motion.”
