GENCOR RELEASES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2017 RESULTS

February 3, 2017 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) - Gencor Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: GENC) announced today net revenues increased 19% to $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to $13.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Gross margins increased to 26.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 from 24.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, due to increased revenues and cost absorption. Product engineering and development expenses increased $34,000 to $416,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 due to increased staffing. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $405,000 to $2,190,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Headcount additions and higher sales commissions contributed to most of the increase in SG&A expenses. Operating income for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $1.5 million or 9.8% of net revenues compared to operating income of $1.1 million or 8.4% of net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company had non-operating income of $0.4 million compared to non-operating income of $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 was $1.4 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

At December 31, 2016, the Company had $107.0 million of cash and marketable securities, an increase of $2.8 million over the September 30, 2016 balance of $104.2 million. Net working capital was $116.8 million at December 31, 2016. The Company had no short-term or long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2016.

The Company’s backlog was $40.8 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $31.2 million at December 31, 2015.

John Elliott, Gencor’s CEO, commented, “Gencor began fiscal 2017 with the largest backlog of asphalt plants and components in the company’s history. Many of our clients placed orders earlier in anticipation of 2017 construction work which has resulted in an increase in demand for our products. Federal funds from the FAST ACT are being dispersed to state departments of transportation and should result in an increase in bidding activity for our domestic customers.

First quarter revenues represent solid growth from the previous year and a 151% increase from two years ago. Revenues in our first quarter are often significantly lower than our second and third quarters as customers typically do not take delivery of equipment until late winter and spring.

In the first quarter Gencor delivered improved gross margins of 26.3% and managed operational expenses, which resulted in a 140 basis point increase in operating margins to 9.8%.

In January we implemented second shifts at both of our manufacturing facilities and are exploring avenues to significantly expand our production capabilities to meet the anticipated future demand for our products. Potentially favorable new legislation could have a positive impact on Gencor’s performance in the future. These include a proposed $1 trillion investment in domestic infrastructure, an immediate 100% tax deduction on all capital equipment purchases, and a proposed reduction in the corporate tax rate.

In March we will be exhibiting at the 2017 Conexpo-Con/Agg construction equipment show in Las Vegas where we anticipate significant interest in our products.”

Gencor Industries is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer for the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels and environmental control machinery and equipment used in a variety of applications.
