WASHINGTON, NC--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 2, 2009 -- Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. (AMEX:FPB - News), a leading manufacturer of high performance sport boats, fish boats and express cruisers, today announced the results of its fiscal 2009 second quarter and six-month period, ended December 31, 2008.
"The recreational fiberglass boating market downturn has continued for three years, with the decline deepening sharply in the quarter ended December 31, 2008," commented Reginald M. Fountain, Jr., Fountain Powerboat Industries Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. "The global economic downturn, finance industry collapse and stock market crash had significant detrimental effect on marine markets during the quarter. Retail financing for boats tightened and floor plan financing for boat dealers became very difficult. With dealers reluctant to replenish their inventories and retail sales stymied, orders for off season production became scarce."
Second Quarter Financial Results
-- Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, ended December 31,
2008, were $5,839,908, compared to net sales of $15,196,038 for the
comparable quarter of fiscal 2008.
-- Gross loss for the quarter was ($1,031,092), compared to a gross
profit of $2,216,271 for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
-- Operating loss for the quarter was $2,860,691, compared to an
operating loss of $447,076 for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
-- Net loss for the quarter was $3,178,585, or net loss per share of
$0.73 on a basic and diluted basis, versus a net loss of $765,055, or net
loss per share of $0.16 on a basic and diluted basis, for the second
quarter of fiscal 2008.Six-Month Financial Results
-- Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2009, ended December 31,
2008, were $23,427,947, compared to net sales of $33,245,468 for the first
six months of fiscal 2008.
-- Gross profit was $1,187,226, compared to gross profit of $4,920,857
for the first six months of fiscal 2008.
-- Operating loss was ($2,511,148), compared to operating income of
$191,393 for the first six months of fiscal 2008.
-- Net loss was $3,096,816, or a loss per share of $0.71 on a basic and
diluted basis, compared to a net loss of $491,676, or a loss per share of
$0.10 on a basic and diluted basis, for the first six months of fiscal
2008.Fountain continued, "We have been in continuous operation for 30 years and have weathered difficult times in our long history, although none have been this challenging. We will weather this downturn as well and come out of this recession stronger than ever. As a leader in the industry -- and in the Fountain Powerboat spirit, we will continue to improve our product lines and strengthen our distribution channels."
