GREENVILLE, S.C., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- JPS Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets: JPST) today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended July 30, 2005.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2005, JPS reported a net income of $1.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, on sales of $42.4 million compared with a net income of $1.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, on sales of $42.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, the Company reported a net income of $3.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, on sales of $117.5 million compared with a net income of $2.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, on sales of $111.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2004.
Michael L. Fulbright, JPS's chairman, president and chief executive officer, stated, "Third quarter was in line with our expectations, though slightly below last year. The results reflect a number of variables within our businesses. We were successful in implementing price increases throughout the Company to cover the raw material increases we had experienced during the first six months of our fiscal year but saw demand weaken in several markets during the latter part of the quarter. These included electronics, commercial and military aircraft, and other defense related markets that affected our JPS Composite Materials and Stevens(R) Urethane businesses. Countering these areas was strength in our Stevens(R) Roofing business and solid results from other industrial markets that are serviced by our Stevens(R) Urethane and JPS Composite Materials product lines."
Commenting further, Mr. Fulbright stated, "Looking to the balance of the year, we would expect the softness in the markets we describe above to strengthen from our most recent experience, but remain at levels below those of last year. While raw material cost plateaued in third quarter, it remains unknown at this juncture how oil prices and energy related cost will affect us in the coming months."
