Earnings before accounting changes for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 were $2,580, or $0.20 per share, compared to $3,307, or $.25 per share, for the same period last year. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 were $91,097, down slightly from $91,721 reported in the same quarter last year. Due to poor economic conditions, results at the Company's operations in Europe and Japan were weak, with sales declines from last year of 11% and 2%, respectively. Sales in North America increased 4% over last year. Sales increases were recorded at GB Electrical, Power-Packer, and APITECH of 15%, 8% and 100%, respectively. Due to poor economic conditions in Europe and Japan, Enerpac sales declined 7% from last year. First quarter sales at Barry Controls were lower than the comparable period last year due to reduced demand from aircraft manufacturers, as well as the sale of the helicopter product line in the second quarter of fiscal 1993. The Company's overall gross profit margin declined from 37.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 1993 to 37.2% in the most recent quarter, reflecting an unfavorable shift in product mix.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
