Inventronics Announces 2010 Q3 Results

CALGARY, Nov. 24 /CNW/ -- CALGARY, Nov. 24 /CNW/ - Inventronics Limited (IVX:TSX Venture), a designer and manufacturer of custom enclosures for the telecommunications, electric transmission, cable television and other industries in North America, today announced its unaudited 2010 third quarter financial results.
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, Inventronics reported net income of $4,000, or 0.1 cents per share, on sales of $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $170,000, or 3.9 cents per share, on sales of $1.55 million for the third quarter of 2009.
"Although Inventronics experienced a difficult second quarter, with some of our regular customers dramatically reducing their typical seasonal spending pattern, the adjustments we made to our costs in the second and third quarters allowed us to take advantage of the modest improvement in customer demand that occurred during Q3", said Dan Stearne, President & CEO.
