THIRD QUARTER RESULTS | ||
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 |
Elma, NY – Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE American: SVT) a designer and manufacturer of servo-control components and other advanced technology products announced financial for the period ended September 30, 2018.
Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $1,457,000 (or $0.63 per share Basic and $0.61 Diluted) on revenues of $12,768,000. This is compared to net income for the third quarter of 2017 of $671,000 (or $0.30 per share Basic and $0.29 Diluted) on revenues of $11,325,000. The 12.7% increase in revenue is the result of increases in commercial shipments at the Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) offset by a decrease in commercial shipments at the Consumer Products Group (“CPG”).
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $3,940,000 or 30.9% of revenue, compared with $3,091,000, or 27.3% of revenue for the same period of 2017. The increase, both in the aggregate and as a percentage of revenue, is primarily due to the increase of the number of units shipped and the average price of the product mix compared to the same period in 2017 at the ATG. Cost of goods sold increased approximately $594,000 or 7.2% as compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to the increase in volume shipped at the ATG offset by the lower volume of shipments at the CPG.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to $2,074,000 from $2,085,000 for the same period in 2017. SG&A expenses at the ATG decreased approximately $166,000 due to non-recurring charges incurred during the third quarter of 2017 however such decrease was offset by increased SG&A expenses at the CPG of approximately $155,000 attributable to the sales and marketing of products including media advertising and administrative support.
“Our quarterly and nine-month results continue to reflect strong demand for our products as indicated by the increase in revenues” commented Kenneth D. Trbovich, CEO and Chairman of the Board. “Also, our gross margin for both the quarter and year-to-date periods have increased not only on an absolute basis but also as a percentage of revenue reflecting our efforts to control costs while also investing for the future.”
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.
