Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO, announced that the Company had experienced higher sales growth across all of its product lines in the first quarter of 2012. Net Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased 26.5% over the first quarter of 2011, expanding to $14,548,000 from $11,498,000. The Company’s TracPipe® CounterStrike® product, a highly advanced corrugated stainless steel tubing system used for fuel gas applications, easily eclipsed its previous year’s sales. Additionally, the Company’s strategy of further business diversification is beginning to bear fruit as its emerging products, such as DoubleTrac® and DEF-Trac® double-containment flexible piping systems, had significant sales growth from the comparable prior period. The Company’s growth in sales occurred both in the United States and internationally, most notably in the United Kingdom.
The Company’s Net Income was almost four times higher than last year, increasing 378.6%. For the first three months ended March 31, 2012 net income was $3,920,000, compared to $819,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2012, the Company settled a legal dispute relating to insurance coverage and received $4,700,000 as part of the settlement. Excluding that item (and related items such as income taxes on the settlement proceeds), the Company still recognized an improvement in Net Income of approximately 70% over last year.
