NEWARK, NY -- IEC Electronics reported fiscal second-quarter net income rose 49% year-over-year to $2.61 million.

The EMS company said revenue rose 8% year-over-year to $38 million for the period ended March 30. EBITDA rose 37% to $5.5 million, while the gross profit margin was 21.7% and operating margin was 11.8%.

Chairman and CEO  W. Barry Gilbert said, "This was an excellent quarter with meaningful improvements across all of our important financial metrics. [I]t was the shift to higher margin product mix in combination with operational improvement in all segments of the business that produced these historically strong results. All of our businesses operated better than they did last quarter."

Gilbert said the company expects operating margins to return closer to 10% over the next 18 months, which would be ahead of the contract printed circuit board assembler's average operating margin for the past two years of approximately 8%.

Current backlogs are about 10% lower than the backlog figure reported in the firm's fiscal 2011 10-K.
