"Total revenues of $9.6 million increased by 46% from the prior third quarter, reaching the highest level of quarterly revenue in 17 years.

This system was placed with a leading European programming center. After the quarter ended, we also announced our collaboration with Maxim Integrated to support personalized, secure provisioning of Maxim's DS28C36 and DS2476 DeepCover ICs on the SentriX Platform.

Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter of 2017 were $9.6 million, compared with $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2017.

For the 2017 third quarter, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 62.1%, compared to 55.3% in the third quarter of 2016 and 56.9% in the second quarter of 2017. The improvement in gross margin as a percentage of sales compared to earlier periods was primarily due to higher order volume and favorable product mix, particularly from demand for the PSV family of products by automotive electronics and programming center customers, and improved factory utilization.

Net income in the third quarter of 2017 was $1.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with net income of $625,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") was $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $755,000 in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding equity compensation, was $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $865,000 in the third quarter of 2016.

Bookings in the third quarter of 2017 were $8.2 million, compared to $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2016. Backlog at September 30, 2017 was $4.6 million, compared to $4.7 million at June 30, 2017 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2016. Deferred revenue was $1.6 million at September 30, 2017, down from $2.8 million at June 30, 2017 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2016.

Spending in the third quarter was up approximately $1.1 million from the same period of 2016. Approximately $655,000 of the increase was selling, general and administrative variable costs related to the increased level of business activity. Approximately $456,000 of the increase reflects additional spending on research and development to support new product development for the SentriX platform, LumenX™ programmer capabilities and features, ConneX™ software, and enhancements to other products. The majority of this was personnel related, including additional headcount in engineering. The Company continues to invest to support automotive demands in the near term and security opportunities in future years.

Data I/O's financial condition remains strong with an increase in its cash position to $15.2 million at September 30, 2017 from $12.0 million at June 30, 2017 and working capital of $18.4 million at September 30, 2017. The Company continues to have no debt.
