6.5.2003: Meldung: CECO Environmental: First Quarter Results
CECO Environmental Corp. (Nasdaq: CECE - News), a leading provider of industrial ventilation and pollution control systems, today announced first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2003.
Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 was $15,201,000 compared to $18,879,000 during the same quarter in 2002.
First quarter FY2003 gross profit was $3,069,000 (20.2%) compared to $3,838,000 (20.3%) during the first quarter in 2002. Strong project management coupled with reduced factory overhead expenses maintained CECO"s gross margin in this competitive economic environment. Management"s cost- containment plans implemented in 2002 were instrumental in reducing factory overhead expenses in the current quarter.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $540,000 to $2,542,000 during the first quarter of 2003 from $3,082,000 in the same period of 2002. FY2003 will benefit from two previously announced cost reduction initiatives (principally through efficiencies and consolidation of functions) that were implemented during May and September of 2002. Annualized cost savings of $2,000,000 are expected, which began during the third quarter of 2002.
Operating profit for the first quarter FY2003 was $124,000 compared to $299,000 during the comparable period in 2002.
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was ($249,000) or ($0.03) per share compared to net loss of ($197,000) or ($0.02) per share for the same period in 2002.
Orders booked during the first quarter of 2003 were $14,350,000 compared to $19,530,000 in the same quarter of 2002. March 31, 2003, backlog was $13,500,000, compared to $14,600,000 at December 31, 2002. First quarter FY2003 bookings included $5,725,000 in previously announced contracts spanning diverse industry market sectors; $2,750,000 order for an automotive parts foundry located in Mexico, $1,600,000 order for a rubber manufacturer, $875,000 order for a steel mill and a $500,000 order for a power generation utility.
President, Richard Blum, stated, "We are seeing the sales opportunities throughout the industrial market sector improving. The decline in our first quarter bookings reflected the reluctance of many of our current and prospective customers to spend needed capital expenditures in this current economic environment." Blum added, "We are realizing the benefits of our cost reduction initiatives in reduced operating costs. Economic uncertainties aside, we are continuing to target further efficiencies and cost reductions throughout CECO."
