FIRST QUARTER RESULTS | ||
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 |
Elma, NY – Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE American: SVT) a designer and manufacturer of servo-control components and other advanced technology products announced financial results for the period ended March 31, 2018.
Net income for the first quarter of 2018 was $331,000 (or $0.14 per share Basic and Diluted) on revenues of $10,559,000 as compared to net income for the same period of 2017 of $26,000 (or $0.01 per share Basic and Diluted) on revenues of $9,103,000. The 16.0% increase in revenue is the result of increases in commercial and government shipments at the Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) offset by a decrease in commercial and government sales at the Consumer Products Group (“CPG”).
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Trbovich said “We’re off to a strong start to 2018 as demonstrated by our strong revenue growth and greater profitability. While we are seeing an increase in shipments at the ATG, progress is gradual and challenges are real. We believe our performance is reflective of the successful execution of our strategy and we look forward to continue building on this momentum today and in the years ahead.”
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2018 was $2,247,000, or 21.3% of revenue, compared with $2,061,000, or 22.6% of revenue for the same period of 2017. Cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased approximately $1,270,000 or 18.0%. The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue volume, the costs incurred by an increase in headcount and increase warranty expense. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased approximately $214,000 or 11.7%. The decrease is primarily driven by the decrease in salary and wages attributable to Servotronics’ former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer recognized in 2017 but not in 2018.
The Company is composed of two groups – the ATG and the CPG. The ATG primarily designs, develops and manufactures servo controls 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, pocket knives, machetes and combat knives, survival, sporting, agricultural knives and other edged products for both commercial and government applications.
