Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO, indicated the Company’s 3rd quarter 2009 Revenues were down $6,371,000 (36.0%) from Revenues in the 3rd quarter 2008, and Net Income decreased $754,000 (31.5%) over the same period.

 

Notably, Net Income for the 3rd quarter of 2009 has however improved over 150% compared to the 2nd quarter of 2009, and was more than 3 times higher than income in the 1st quarter of 2009. Revenues for the same period grew approximately 12%, showing increased demand in the market.

 

Regarding the nine-month results, Revenues were $18,955,000 (37.5%) below Revenues in the same period in 2008 and Net Income in 2009 decreased $3,723,000 (58.2%) over the same period.

 

The decline in Revenue and Net Income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2009 was consistent with the contraction in the construction industry. The Company was able to outperform this general trend with its focus on cost reductions and higher market penetration of its proprietary products.
