Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO, indicated the Company’s sales and earnings for the second quarter of 2006 improved 17% and 37% respectively, over second quarter 2005 results. Net Income Before Unusual Items, a non GAAP financial measure that reports net income before unusual or anomalous items, was up 27% for the quarter over the same period in 2005 reflecting the rate of growth in the Company’s operations. Sales and earnings for the first six months of 2006 improved 23% and 48% over the first six months of 2005. Net Income Before Unusual Items, a non-GAAP financial measure, was up 49% for the first six months of 2006 over the same period in 2005, reflecting the rate of growth in the Company’s operations.

 

The increases are due principally to continued strong sales of the Company’s flexible gas piping products. Results overall were impacted adversely by non-recurring expenses for stock-based compensation in the first six months 2005 (impacting earnings three cents per share), and unusual and significant legal expenses in the six months 2006 and 2005 (impacting earnings eight cents per share in 2006 and two cents per share in 2005), as explained more fully in the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Net Income Before Unusual Items is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents the Company’s after-tax earnings exclusive of items which the Company believes are unusual in nature. Management believes that the unusual items identified, while not necessarily "nonrecurring", are sufficiently anomalous to warrant the presentation of a separate financial measure which allows investors to evaluate the Company's performance exclusive of these items. The unusual items consist of (1) non-recurring stock-based compensation, a non-cash charge to earnings, the obligation for which was cancelled at the time of the “Spin-Off” in July 2005 as explained more fully in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (2) unusual legal expenses, also explained more fully in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
