EX-99.1 2 a5393200-ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 EXHIBIT 99.1 Dayton Superior Reports First Quarter Results DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2007--Dayton Superior Corporation (NASDAQ:DSUP), the leading North American provider of specialized products for the non-residential concrete construction market, reported today the following results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared with results for the similar period of 2006: -- Net sales were $99 million, down slightly from $101 million in 2006 as harsh weather curtailed first quarter construction activity in many markets; -- Gross profit increased by $2.9 million to $29 million or 11%, as costs were reduced and pricing improved; -- Net loss of $8 million, or 45 cents per share, improved from $9 million, or 92 cents per share. Eric R. Zimmerman, Dayton Superior's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are devoting a great deal of attention to improving gross margins and customer service, and the results are evident in our improved first quarter financial results. The latest F.W. Dodge reports confirm our own indications that conditions are improving following severe weather that restricted construction activity in many regions this winter, following a mild winter in 2006. Additional confirmation of our market strength is seen in construction employment, as, apart from homebuilding, it is expanding nicely. We are well prepared to benefit both from seasonal trends and the upturn in demand from new infrastructure and commercial construction projects. We will continue to improve our customer service and our cost structure, with a goal of improving our earnings while building on our leading position in the non-residential markets. We are encouraged by our first quarter results and excited about the potential 2007 holds." Sales of Dayton Superior's products were $80 million, a decrease of 4% from the first quarter of 2006. Unit volume was lower due to the weather, but partially offset by higher sales prices. Revenues from rentals of concrete forming and shoring equipment were $15 million, up 10%, the result of an improving rental market and better positioning of the fleet. Sales of used rental equipment sales were down slightly. Gross profit on product sales was $20 million, or 25% of sales, compared with $18 million and 21% in the first quarter of 2006. Higher sales prices and improvements in operating costs, including freight expense, were principal factors. Gross profit on rental revenue was $6 million, compared with $5 million in the first quarter of 2006. Depreciation on rental equipment was $4 million in both periods. Rental gross profit before depreciation was $10 million in the quarter, or 72% of revenue. This is an 11% increase from $9 million, or 71% of revenue in the first quarter of 2006, resulting from increased rental revenue and higher utilization compared to 2006. As a percentage of sales, gross profit on the sales of used rental equipment for the first quarter of 2007 was slightly better than in the first quarter of 2006. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $25 million in the recent quarter from $24 million for the first quarter of 2006. The increase was due to increased sales and engineering headcount, salary increases, and distribution center lease costs. Stock compensation expense, a non-cash expense, was $1 million in the first quarter of 2007 and is related to the continued vesting of restricted common stock in connection with our initial public offering in December 2006. Proceeds from the IPO were used in part to pay down our revolving credit facility, which led to a $1 million reduction in interest expense from last year's first quarter, to $11 million.
