SERVOTRONICS, INC. (AMEX– SVT) ANNOUNCES
SIX MONTHS AND 2ND QUARTER RESULTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
 
Elma, NY – Servotronics, Inc. (AMEX – SVT) reported an approximate 124.1% increase in net income to $1,441,000 (or $0.74 per share – Basic, $0.67 per share Diluted) on an approximate 12.2% increase in revenues to $16,717,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net income of $643,000 (or $0.33 per share Basic, $0.30 per share Diluted) on revenues of $14,904,000 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $588,000 (or $0.30 per share Basic, $0.27 per share Diluted) on revenues of $7,732,000. The comparable net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $439,000 (or $0.23 per share Basic, $0.21 per share Diluted) on revenues of $8,374,000. The Company attributes the increased revenue and net income for the six month period to increased shipments at both the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and its Consumer Products Group (CPG) and aggressive cost containment. The Company further noted that in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 the Company’s ATG reported increases in revenue and operating income while the CPG’s revenues and operating income decreased primarily as a result of previously reported volatility in delivery requirements associated with government procurements.
 
The ATG primarily designs, develops and manufactures servo control and other components for various commercial and government applications (i.e., aircraft, jet engines, missiles, manufacturing equipment, medical, etc.). The CPG designs and manufactures cutlery, bayonets, machetes and combat, survival, sporting, agricultural, and pocket knives for both commercial and government applications.
 
SVT’s high priority business development efforts are continuing at both the ATG and CPG. New products and modifications of existing products are continuing at an aggressive pace. Consistent with the approved practice, all developmental costs are expensed as they are incurred. Often there is a significant time period before the SVT developed products enter the production phase and the full benefits of the developed products are received.
 
As previously reported, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase by the Company of up to 250,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has purchased 194,357 shares under this authorization. Also noted was the previously reported $0.15 per share cash dividend that was declared by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2008. The dividend was paid on March 14, 2008 to shareholders of record on February 20, 2008. This dividend does not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis.
