GOLDFIELD REPORTS 2013 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
MELBOURNE, Florida, November 12, 2013 - The Goldfield Corporation (NYSE MKT: GV) today announced its earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Goldfield Corporation headquartered in Florida, through its subsidiary, Southeast Power Corporation, is a leading provider of construction services to electric utilities, with operations primarily in the southeastern, mid-Atlantic, and western regions of the United States.
Nine months ended September 30, 2013
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 18.8% to $66.4 million from $55.9 million in the comparable prior year period. This increase was attributable to higher electrical construction revenue.
Income from continuing operations before tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $5.2 million from $10.5 million in the same period in 2012. This decrease largely resulted from approximately $3.7 million of additional subcontractor and equipment expenses on the South Texas Electric Cooperative (“STEC”) project, to make up for delays occasioned by unanticipated weather conditions in order to ensure completion by the August 30th target date. Also contributing to the decrease in operating income were project losses of approximately $1.1 million, resulting from the unsatisfactory performance of a subcontractor which had to be replaced on two other large projects.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.4 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to net income of $7.7 million, or $0.30 per share, in the comparable prior year period. This decrease resulted from the expenses noted above and a special charge of $748,440 (after tax) in discontinued operations in connection with an EPA matter relating to a mining property owned over 50 years ago.
Three months ended September 30, 2013
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased 18.5% to $23.3 million from $19.7 million in the comparable prior year period.
Income from continuing operations before tax for the three months ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $2.2 million from $3.9 million in the same period in 2012. This decrease was mainly due to project losses of approximately $1.1 million, attributable to the unsatisfactory performance of a subcontractor which had to be replaced on two other large projects noted above. In addition, special expenses were incurred to achieve the timely completion of the STEC project in August 2013.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.3 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.10 per share, in the comparable prior year period. This decrease was mainly due to the aforementioned project losses recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as well as additional expenses on the STEC project.
John H. Sottile, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldfield said, “The steadily increasing revenues reflect the inherent strength of our electrical construction operation. Our challenge is to avoid, to the extent possible, the sort of special charges that have dampened our results.” “We are working on this,” Mr. Sottile added.
