6mo results Mond Industries Inc MII Shares issued 28,605,000 Jul 20 close $0.62 Tue 21 Jul 98 News Release Mr. Pat DiLillo reports For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the company had revenues of $29.8-million compared with $17.9-million. Net earnings were $561,481 compared with a net loss of $1,209,000. Net earnings per share were 2 cents compared with a loss of 4 cents. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the company had revenues of $59.0-million compared with $36.5-million. Net earnings were $1,047,128 compared with a loss of $1,659,000. Net earnings per share were 3 cents compared with a loss of 5 cents. In June, the company added a second shift to deal with an order book that now stands at approximately $30-million, or about three months production. The improved profitability for the quarter reflected the company's successful efforts to increase the proportion of higher, value added trailers within the manufacturing mix. In fact, unit throughput was marginally lower, compared with the first quarter of 1998, because the more complex and higher margin models take longer to manufacture. Margins continued to improve in the second quarter and the company continues to focus efforts on reducing unit costs, improving productivity and enhancing gross margins, while maintaining the momentum achieved on the marketing front. The higher margin service sector is now operating 14 bays and it is expected that the third and fourth quarters will see continuing improvements on the service side. The outlook for the remainder of the year is for continuing robust sales and profitability. (c) Copyright 1998 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com |
