Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO, announced that the Company had Net Sales of $64,016,000 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012, compared to $54,193,000 in 2011, increasing $9,823,000, or 18.1%. For the fourth quarter, Net Sales were $18,426,000 and $15,618,000, for 2012 and 2011, respectively, increasing $2,808,000 or 18.0%.
The Company has experienced sales growth from almost all of its product lines during the year. Domestically, the Companys gas piping product, TracPipe® CounterStrike®, has benefited from the uptick in the construction environment, such as the building of single family homes and high-rises. Additionally, the Companys DoubleTrac® and DEF-Trac® double-containment piping systems have seen increases in orders shipped. Internationally, despite the soft economy, the Companys traditional product, TracPipe®, also showed an increase in sales compared to 2011.
The Companys Net Income through December 31, 2012 was $7,696,000, surpassing last years income of $4,647,000 by $3,049,000, or 65.6%. As announced during the first quarter of 2012, the Company received an insurance legal recovery, which enhanced net income for the year by approximately $2,530,000. Excluding that event, the years income was still 11.2% higher than last year. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, Net Income was solid at $1,594,000, compared to $1,708,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011, diminishing by $114,000 or 6.7%. The shortfall largely relates to a rise in legal expenses in the 4th quarter of 2012, and a one-off tax adjustment which increased income by $151,000 in the 4th quarter of 2011.
