EDAC Technologies Reports Solid First Quarter Results
FARMINGTON, Conn., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EDAC Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:EDAC), a designer and manufacturer of tools, fixtures, jet engine components, injection molds and spindles, today reported results for the first quarter of 2008.
Sales for the first quarter of 2008 were $11,181,000 and net income was $630,000 or $0.13 per diluted share, versus sales of $12,316,000 and net income of $781,000 or $0.16 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2007. Dominick A. Pagano, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "While this was a challenging quarter for our company, we are pleased with our results. As previously announced, during the first quarter, our aerospace customers changed their delivery schedules reducing our sales for the first half of 2008. However, while we were not able to react to minimize the impact of these changes on our first quarter results, going forward we believe that, our sales in each of the next three quarters will progressively allow us to show increased sales and net income for the year ending 2008 vs. 2007. Operating income for the first quarter was further impacted by the addition of sales and engineering personnel hired to handle our planned growth and order backlog.
Pagano added, "We fully anticipate that the aerospace market will remain strong for the long-term. Our strategy is to pursue those long-term opportunities by investing in skilled personnel and state-of-the-art machinery and equipment, and committing to continuous improvement throughout our organization. We will incur costs in the short-term, but in the long-term we believe this will build the financial strength of our company, to the benefit of our shareholders."
