Fiscal Quarter Financial
Results
Total revenues for the period equaled $11.5 million or a 14%
increase from the same quarter a year ago. This increase is largely
attributed to our ability to leverage our expanding customer base
with our existing sales
force.
Total operating expenses were approximately $3.7 million or a 15%
increase over the same quarter last year which was mostly
attributable to additional employees and increased R&D spend.
Compared with the same year ago quarter, operating expenses for
general and administrative increased 15%, R&D increased 19%,
and depreciation increased 14%.
Gross profit increased to $6.1 million or 53% of total revenues,
as compared to $5.1 million or 50% of total revenues in the
year-ago quarter. Gross profit margins fluctuate slightly each
quarter due to changes in product mix, direct labor costs, and
adjustments in our inventory and warranty reserves.
Net income was $1.7 million or $0.03 per share,
compared to a net income of $1.2 million or $0.03 per share in the
same year-ago quarter.
Cash and liquid investments totaled $22.2
million at the end of the quarter and the Company continues to
operate debt-free.
Management Commentary
“Our strategic initiatives over the past few years have
positioned us well to achieve future growth,” stated Ryan Oviatt,
CFO of Profire. “Profire's ability to respond quickly to customer
demands over the years has distinguished Profire from its
competition. Our resources allow us to be flexible in responding to
customer demand and market opportunities that will be beneficial to
Profire.”
“Profire increased revenues in the third quarter despite a
sequential slowdown in the industry.” said Brenton Hatch, President
and CEO of Profire Energy. “So far, this year is on track to be our
most profitable year in Company history and the second-best year in
terms of revenue. Our core values and strategies involving cost
management, and remaining debt free, have allowed us to see great
success throughout the industry recovery. Our anticipated
performance in 2018 is providing a solid foundation for additional
investments in 2019 and beyond.”
