Earnings per Share Increases 50% Year-over-Year
Cincinnati - Ceco Environmental, a leading global provider of air pollution control technology, systems and equipment, today announced first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2012.
Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 include:
Net sales were $33.0 million as compared to $36.0 million in the same period of 2011. The decline in revenues was a result of some customer project delays and previously communicated product portfolio improvements and divestitures;
Gross profit increased by 20%, to $10.2 million as compared to $8.5 million in 2011;
Gross margin increased to 30.9% compared to 23.6% for the same quarter in 2011;
Operating income increased to $3.7 million in 2012 as compared to $2.4 million in 2011, a 54% improvement;
Operating margin increased to 11.2% from 6.7% in 2011;
Net income increased to $2.0 million in 2012 as compared to net income of $1.3 million in 2011;
Net income per diluted share increased to $0.12 in 2012 as compared to $0.08 in 2011;
Bookings were $30.7 million compared to $33.3 million in 2011;
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $19.9 million compared to $12.7 as of December 31, 2011, with no bank debt; and
Backlog as of March 31, 2012 was $52.6 million compared to $54.9 million as of December 31, 2011 and $51.6 million as of March 31, 2011.
"I am once again very pleased with our results for the quarter as Ceco continued to achieve significant improvements in margins and profitability," commented Ceco's Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Lang. "We realized record gross and operating margins which was a direct result of our focus on operational excellence, improved product mix and enhanced sales pricing management. We are seeing positive activity from new and existing customers as evidenced by our year to date bookings, which as of today, are higher than the same period in 2011 and which we believe will allow CECO to continue to generate improving results for the remaining quarters of 2012."

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks and uncertainties, which are more fully described in CECO's Annual and Quarterly Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, but are not limited to: our dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding our estimates and our method of accounting for contract revenue; our history of losses and possibility of further losses; fluctuations in operating results from period to period due to seasonality of our business; the effect of growth on our infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; our ability to expand our operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; economic and political conditions generally; and the effect of competition in the air pollution control and industrial ventilation industry. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. We caution investors that other factors might, in the future, prove to be important in affecting our results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Investors are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
