GENCOR RELEASES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2018 RESULTS
February 2, 2018 (PRIME NEWSWIRE)Gencor Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: GENC) announced today net revenues increased 46% to $23.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Gross margins were 22.0% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to 26.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 as the Company increased its manufacturing overhead to support the significantly higher production, as annual revenues have doubled over the past two years. Product engineering and development expenses increased $284,000 to $700,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 due to increased staffing to meet the higher demands for our engineered products. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $502,000 to $2,692,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Headcount additions, higher sales commissions and increased advertising and trade show expenses to capitalize on the renewed optimism within the highway construction industry contributed to most of the increase in SG&A expenses. Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company had non-operating income of $0.5 million compared to non-operating income of $0.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The 2017 tax benefit resulted from the adjustment to the net deferred tax liability and applying the lower corporate tax rates to comply with the recently enacted U.S. tax law, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 was $2.3 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.
At December 31, 2017, the Company had $113.2 million of cash and marketable securities, an increase of $2.4 million over the September 30, 2017 balance of $110.8 million. Net working capital was $125.0 million at December 31, 2017. The Company had no short-term or long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2017.
The Companys backlog was $50.2 million at December 31, 2017 compared to $40.8 million at December 31, 2016.
John Elliott, Gencors CEO, commented, First quarter revenues of $23.1 million represent the best start to our fiscal year in over twenty years. We have a positive outlook which is supported by favorable market conditions and the recently enacted U.S. tax law legislation: Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Fixing Americas Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) and plans to increase domestic infrastructure spending at the Federal level have resulted in an increase in asphalt plant orders and quoting activity. We also anticipate being a beneficiary of lower corporate tax rates and the accelerated tax deduction on capital purchases as a domestic manufacturer and purchaser of capital equipment.
We are pleased with our 46% sales increase in the first quarter, which is traditionally our lowest revenue quarter. Our customers continue to place large orders as domestic highway construction spending remains strong. Net income in the quarter was enhanced by the changes to U.S. tax legislation, specifically a reduction in corporate tax rates on deferred tax liabilities and acceleration of tax depreciation on capital expenditures.
In the first quarter gross margins declined as the company increased its manufacturing overhead to support the significantly higher production, as revenues have doubled over the past two years. The company also accelerated its capital purchases in the first quarter to maximize the tax benefit due to anticipated lower future tax rates. Gencor will continue to invest in its operations to improve efficiencies and meet the strong demand for its products.
Backlog of $50.2 million is 23% higher than the prior year and represents continued optimism from highway contractors that the Federal government and many states are once again focused on investing in Americas infrastructure. We look forward to growth and continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our existing businesses.
In March we will be exhibiting at the 2018 World of Asphalt show where we anticipate significant interest in our products.
Gencor Industries is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer for the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels and environmental control machinery and equipment used in a variety of applications.
