FITCHBURG, MA--(Marketwire - November 8, 2010) - Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. (the "Company") (
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, total revenue of $17,256,000 and net income of $441,000 was achieved as compared to total revenue of $15,512,000 and net income of $267,000 for the same period in 2009. Basic net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.16 as compared to $0.10 for the same period in 2009. Total revenue increased by 11% while net income increased by 65% and earnings per share increased by 60% in the nine months ending September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.
James E. Rouse, the Company's President and CEO commented, "We are very pleased to report that our quarterly results include $200,000 in initial SAECG licensing revenue related to the Company's previously reported initial multi-year license for its Predictor SAECG software. We also recorded a $580,000 increase in sensor revenue during the quarter compared to the same period in 2009. This increase is primarily due to a 21% increase in sensor unit volume in the quarter as well as higher than expected silver surcharge revenue. We were disappointed that timing delays in our defense industry and medical molding products adversely affected MIT's revenues and represented a $402,000 decrease as compared to the same period in 2009. Net income was positively affected by gross margin improvement of 28% year to date in sensor manufacturing due to investments in automation and process improvements. During the quarter, we invested over $210,000 in operating and business development expenses as well as over $66,000 in capital expenditures for technology related to our new subsidiary, RMDDx. These investments adversely impacted our short-term results, but will generate revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2010. We expect RMDDx revenues, expenses and capital expenditures to continue to increase through the remainder of 2010 and into 2011 as RMDDx accelerates its business development efforts."
