THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTH RESULTS
FOR THE PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
 
Elma, NY – Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE Amex – SVT) reported a 37.7% increase in net income to $833,000 (or $0.43 per share Basic and $0.40 Diluted) on a 5.2% increase in revenues to $8,224,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to net income of $605,000 (or $0.31 per share Basic, $0.29 per share Diluted) on revenues of $7,818,000 for the same three month period ended September 30, 2008. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was $1,668,000 (or $0.86 per share Basic, $0.81 per share Diluted) on revenues of $24,868,000. The comparable net income for the corresponding nine month period of 2008 was $2,046,000 (or $1.06 per share Basic, $0.96 per share Diluted) on revenues of $24,535,000.  The Company primarily attributes the period to period differences in net income to decreased sales at the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) offset by increased sales at the Consumer Products Group (CPG) in combination with significant gross margin vagaries as a result of product mix in the relevant periods.
The Company is composed of two groups – the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and the Consumer Products Group (CPG). 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, etc.). The CPG designs and manufactures cutlery, bayonets, machetes and combat, survival, sporting, agricultural, and pocket knives for both commercial and government applications.
The commercial aircraft and jetliner manufacturing segment of the Aerospace industry continues to be affected by the global recession.  However and as reported by certain economists, there are indications that the Country is in the early stages of a slow economic turnaround which requires additional time for validation and consensus.  There are Aerospace industry reports that reference the need for more fuel efficient aircraft and for replacement airliners that will have to be purchased as the aging domestic fleets retire airliners which are meeting and exceeding their life expectancies.  Also, there appears to be growing agreement that increasing globalization will accelerate the need for airliners throughout the world.
The U.S. Government programs that are being selected for substantial and sustaining support are not yet completely identified by the new U.S. Administration.  Therefore, Government procurements are expected to continue to be volatile and may result in significant period to period revenue fluctuations.  The Company’s marketing efforts continue to be enhanced by the ongoing product developments by both the ATG and CPG.  The Company recently expanded its capabilities in its continuing efforts to add product lines and resources to the Company’s inventory of skills and product offerings.  The Company’s many ATG products that are in a wide range of programs are expected to benefit the Company as a turnaround in the Aerospace industry becomes more apparent.  The CPG’s product developments have led to significant government procurements and the expansion of the CPG’s product line.
