TORONTOSMTC Corp. reported revenue of $61.1 million and net income of $1.3 million, or $0.09 per share, for the second quarter ended July 2, up from revenue of $57 million and net income of $0.3 million from Q2 2005. The results are also up from the first quarter of 2006, when the company reported revenue of $59.9 million and net income of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per share.  
 
Gross profit for the quarter was $6.8 million, or 11.2% of revenue, compared with $6.1 million, or 10.1%, for the previous quarter and $4.7 million, or 8.3% of revenue for Q2 2005.
 
John Caldwell, president and chief executive, said in a statement, “Strengthening revenue resulted from increased orders from both long standing and newer customers while improved margins in part reflect favorable customer and product mix.” 
 
“The company again affirms annual guidance provided at the beginning of the year indicating that 2006 is expected to be a year of growth in both revenues and earnings,” stated Caldwell.  “We expect continuing revenue growth in the last half of the year and increased net income.”
 
On July 21, SMTC was notified of the approval of a U.S. income tax refund of $2.7 million plus interest relating primarily to fiscal years 1999 and 2000. It is anticipated that the refund will be received in Q3 2006. Separately, on July 31, redundant land located in Texas was sold for net proceeds of approximately $1 million. Both transactions are expected to be recorded in the third quarter of 2006 and proceeds of approximately $4 million applied to reduce indebtedness.
