ROCHESTER, MN -- Pemstar Inc.'s June quarter revenue rose 1.3% to $212.5 million, and net income jumped to $4.8 million, compared to a net loss of $17.6 million a year ago.

The June quarter period includes a one-time gain of $2.5 million related to the reversal of previous restructuring provisions.

President and COO Roy Bauer said, "We are still doing a little bit more realigning of our portfolio.  We are considering, as previously disclosed, strategic alternatives for our Tianjin, China, operations. We see optimism in our medical, computing and data storage and industrial businesses for the second half of the year."

For the quarter, industrial sales accounted for 38.4% of net sales, computing and data storage was 23.5%, communications was 36.2% and medical was 1.9%.

Accounts receivable at June 30 was $125.5 million with days sales outstanding of 53 compared with $121.1 million in accounts receivable with DSO of 56 at March 31.

Net inventories were up nearly $10 million, to $64.2 million, and inventory turns dropped 0.9 turns to 12.4 times. Cash cycle was 31 days, down from 40 days in the March quarter.

Jefferies Broadview was retained to explore possible partnerships or a sale of the Tianjin, China operations. Pemstar said it seeks to reduce its consumer business and focus on more profitable markets like medical, industrial, instrumentation, military/aerospace and process equipment.

For the September quarter, Pemstar expects net sales of $200 million to $220 million.
