ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL – EMS provider SigmaTron International Inc. reported second-quarter fiscal 2009 revenues were $41.1 million, down 4% year-over-year.
 
Net income was $1.5 million, up 54% compared to the same quarter last year.
 
For the six months ended Oct, 31, revenues were $79.6 million, down nearly 4% year-over-year. Net income for the same period was $2.1 million, up 28.6% year-over-year. 
 
“Unfortunately, starting the first week in November, we have seen our revenue drop approximately 30% from October's run rate. Given the condition of the economy, this slowdown comes as no surprise, and at this point, it will certainly continue for the third quarter and probably beyond. Recently, the company decided to postpone the planned expansion of its China facility, announced in July 2008, in response to the current economic conditions,” said Gary R. Fairhead, president and CEO.
