Rock of Ages Corporation (NASDAQ: ROAC) announced today that net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $2,200,000, or $0.30 per share, which included costs and expenses associated with the exploration of strategic options and the shareholder lawsuit totaling $358,000, or $0.05 per share. For the third quarter of 2009, net income was $1,534,000, or $0.21 per share. Revenue for this year's third quarter increased 22% to $15,756,000 compared to $12,881,000 for the third quarter of 2009.
Divisional operating income increased 44% to $3,583,000 compared to $2,492,000 last year, and unallocated corporate overhead decreased to $622,000 from $660,000.
Manufacturing revenue for the third quarter of 2010 increased 11% to $7,719,000 compared to $6,967,000 for the third quarter of 2009. Decreased sales in the Barre monumental division were offset by increased sales in the Rock of Ages Canada monumental division and industrial products. Operating income in the manufacturing segment increased to $1,264,000 from $1,084,000 a year ago, reflecting the higher revenue. "The mausoleum sales have not bounced back as quickly as we had hoped but the industrial products and our Canadian monumental sales have more than filled the gap. We remain confident regarding the performance of our manufacturing operations for 2010 as a whole," said Chief Executive Officer Donald Labonte.
Quarry revenue for the third quarter of 2010 increased 36% to $8,037,000 compared to $5,914,000 for the third quarter of 2009, and operating income increased 65% to $2,319,000 compared to $1,408,000 last year, reflecting the higher revenue, lower operating expenses and higher productivity due to the development and production improvements undertaken in the past years. "As we expected, our quarry development programs have increased our ability to produce and deliver higher quantities of saleable granite. The demand for our granite remains strong and we continue to be optimistic about our quarry performance for the remainder of the year," Labonte said.
