The company reported Q3 2018 results last week and, like so many of our featured stocks lately, they had decent results. Sales for the fiscal 2018 third quarter increased to $65,349,000, from $45,084,000 for the same period last year. The 44.9% increase in 2018 third quarter sales was primarily due to improved demand for the Company’s 8500 series transmission systems from North American fracking customers, and higher sales of aftermarket components. In addition, global demand year-over-year has improved across many of the Company’s other markets. Year-to-date, sales were $166,960,000, compared to $114,591,000 for the fiscal 2017 nine months. Currency movement contributed $2,141,000 and $3,599,000 to the third quarter and year to date volume growth, respectively.
CEO John Batten had this to say about the latest results:
Strengthening demand trends from customers in the North American fracking market, as well as throughout many of our other global markets, is driving significant growth in sales and profitability, The actions we took during the past two years aimed at realigning our cost structure, investing in our products, and supporting our customers is paying off and we are extending our leadership position throughout many of our product categories. As our financial results benefit from improving demand, we are working to further expand our competitive position, enhance our operations, and improve the diversification of our business. We have created a compelling global platform that is well positioned for continued growth.
