IMMEDIATE NEWS RELEASE
Schmitt Industries Announces Fourth Quarter and
Fiscal 2015 Operating Results
|
|
|
July 24, 2015 |
|
NASDAQ: SMIT |
Portland, Oregon Schmitt Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMIT) today announced its operating results for the fourth quarter
and fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. For the three months ended May 31, 2015, total sales increased $831,837, or 27.5%, to $3,857,681 from $3,025,844 for the three months ended May 31, 2014. Net income was $92,759, or $0.03 per fully
diluted share, for the three months ended May 31, 2015 as compared to net loss of $157,757, or $(0.05) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended May 31, 2014. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, total sales increased
$934,585, or 7.7%, to $13,069,091 from $12,134,506 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014. Net loss was $93,669, or $(0.03) per fully diluted share, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 as compared to net loss of $539,624, or $(0.18) per
fully diluted share, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014.
Balancer segment sales focus throughout the world on end-users, rebuilders and original
equipment manufacturers of grinding machines with the target geographic markets of North America, Asia, Europe and South America. Balancer segment sales increased $300,123, or 15.9%, to $2,183,735 for the quarter ended ended May 31, 2015
compared to $1,883,612 for the quarter ended May 31, 2014. The increase is primarily attributed to increased sales in Asia for the quarter.
Balancer
segment sales increased $129,025, or 1.7%, to $7,850,236 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 compared to $7,721,211 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014. The increase is primarily attributed to stronger sales in Asia and Germany for
the fiscal year.
The Measurement segment product line consists of SMS® and Lasercheck® laser-based surface microroughness measurement systems, Acuity® laser-based distance measurement and dimensional sizing laser sensors, and
Xact® ultrasonic-based remote tank monitoring products. Total Measurement segment sales increased $531,714, or 46.6%, to $1,673,946 for the three months ended May 31, 2015 compared to
$1,142,232 for the three months ended May 31, 2014, driven by an increase in revenues associated with the sales of Xact® remote tank monitoring products and the sale of a CASI® laser scatterometer system.
Measurement segment sales increased $805,560, or 18.3%, to $5,218,855
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 compared to $4,413,295 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, driven by an increase in revenues associated with the sales of Xact® remote tank
monitoring products and related monitoring services and an increase in sales of SMS laser-based surface measurement products.
Gross margin for the three
months ended May 31, 2015 increased to 45.9% as compared to 45.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2014. Gross margin for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 increased to 47.0% as compared to 46.4% for the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2014. The fluctuations in gross margin in the three month and fiscal year comparative periods are primarily influenced by shifts in product sales mix involving our five product lines.
Operating expenses increased $167,481, or 11.2%, to $1,668,839 for the three months ended May 31, 2015 as compared to $1,501,358 for the three months
ended May 31, 2014. General, administrative and selling expenses increased $166,958, or 11.8%, for the three months ended May 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year due in part to increases in personnel costs,
commissions, and professional fees offset by reductions in marketing and trade show expense. Research and development expenses increased $523, or 0.6%, for the quarter ended May 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
CORPORATE
OFFICE: 2765 NW NICOLAI ST. PORTLAND, OREGON 97210 503/227-7908 FAX 503/223-1258
Operating expenses increased $66,605, or 1.1%, to $6,205,156 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 as
compared to $6,138,551 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014. General, administrative and selling expenses increased $163,730, or 2.9%, for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Increases in
personnel costs and commissions expense were offset by decreases in professional fees, depreciation expense and other general office expenses. Research and development expenses decreased $97,125, or 20.4%, for fiscal year 2015 as compared to the
same period in the prior year.
We are pleased to have ended our fiscal year 2015 with a strong fourth quarter, which reflected the sale of one of
our laser scatterometer systems, the continued growth of our Xact® tank monitoring business and increased sales of our SBS products into Asia and Germany as compared with the prior year. In
addition, we generated positive EBITDA and cash flow from operations for the full fiscal year, commented James A. Fitzhenry, President and CEO of Schmitt Industries. We accomplished a great deal in fiscal year 2015 and are optimistic
about fiscal year 2016, Fitzhenry concluded.
