The Company also reported net income of $409,000 or $.14 per diluted share for the fiscal 2015 third quarter compared to $321,000 or $.11 per diluted share in the prior year third quarter or an increase of 27%. Included in the fiscal 2015 third quarter net income was an income tax benefit related to research and development tax credits of $113,000.

Benjamin Rashleger, president and chief executive officer, commented: “We are pleased to report that our fiscal 2015 third quarter provided both top line sales and bottom line net income growth over the prior year quarter. Our results continue to be driven by our recreational vehicle powersports business which experienced another quarter of year over year growth with revenues expanding by 24%. Our aerospace and other market segments also experienced a sales increase with revenues growing by 17% over the prior year’s quarter.” Rashleger continued: “Our energy business continued to soften with sales down quarterly year over year. With the price of oil remaining at unusually low levels, our customers continue to see a very weak demand for their products, which in turn eliminates their need to outsource their manufacturing requirements. This sales decrease created underutilized capacity which contributed to a lower gross margin level than the prior year quarter. The lack of energy business will continue to negatively impact our sales, capital utilization, and margins, and it will continue to do so until the energy market has stabilized and investment returns.” Rashleger concluded: “These industry cycles further reinforce our priority of expanding our business development efforts, with an intentional focus on diversification into other industries and customers. We are pleased with the level and quality of our quoting activity, and our optimism for our future business and potential remains high.”
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $.04 per share. The dividend will be payable July 21, 2015 to holders of record on July 7, 2015.
