Systemax Inc. (NYSE:SYX), a leading distributor and manufacturer of PC
hardware, related computer products and industrial products in North
America and Europe, today announced results for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2006.
Net sales for the quarter increased 8.1% to $547.2 million compared to
$506.1 million in the same quarter last year. North American sales
increased 12.5% to $375.8 million compared to the same period last year.
In Europe, sales totaled $171.4 million in reported U.S. dollars,
essentially flat compared to last year. Income from operations increased
more than three-fold to $10.6 million from $3.2 million in the second
quarter last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net sales increased 7.5% to
$1.122 billion from $1.044 billion during the same period last year. Net
income increased 493% to $24.7 million or $.67 per diluted share
compared to $4.2 million or $.11 per diluted share a year-ago. Results
for 2006 include an after tax gain of $4.3 million or $.12 per diluted
share from the sale of a warehouse facility. Excluding this gain, net
income would have been $20.4 million or $.56 per diluted share compared
to $4.2 million or $.11 per diluted share in the same period last year.
Richard Leeds, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “I
am very pleased with our strong operating performance in the second
quarter, highlighted by an 8% sales increase and the continued benefits
of the cost cutting, streamlining and restructuring actions that we have
implemented over the last two years. We successfully maintained our
selling, general and administrative expenses at the reduced levels
resulting from all that we have done. Net income was $7.1 million or
$.19 per diluted share compared to $1.5 million or $.04 per diluted
share in the year ago period.”
Gilbert Fiorentino, CEO of Tiger Direct, commented that the Company
remains focused on controlling its costs and broadening our product
offerings in order to grow the business across all the markets we serve.
He noted, “The sales growth of North American
computer products during the second quarter of 2006 was in large part
via e-commerce and also reflects the success of our strategy of
expanding product offerings. Industrial product sales were also strong,
increasing 12% during the quarter. European sales increased 2% in
constant dollars compared to the year-ago quarter.”
Steven Goldschein, Chief Financial Officer, noted that the Company’s
overall financial condition is solid as evidenced by its strong cash
position and short-term borrowings only in certain European operations.
In the second quarter, lower than anticipated accounts receivable
write-offs enabled us to reverse previously provided allowances totaling
$1.2 million which was offset by a $1.9 million reduction in revenue for
returns and allowances related to prior periods. The Company continues
to work diligently to become current in its financial reporting and
intends to release third quarter results before the end of December 2006.
