SAN MARCOS, Calif., May 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omnitek Engineering Corporation (Pink Sheets:OMTK - News) today reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2009, with revenues impacted by the timing of customer order shipments for its diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems until after the quarter end.
Net revenues for the fiscal first quarter were $211,357 compared with $537,176 a year earlier. For the same period, the company reported a net loss of $156,891, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of $172,875, or $0.01 per share, a year ago.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $81,327 compared with $185,241 a year ago, due primarily to decreased sales. Gross profit for the three-month period as a percentage of sales was 38 percent compared with 34 percent in the same period a year ago.
"Notwithstanding the results for the quarter, which were impacted by the timing of customer order shipments rather than a precipitous decline in global demand for converting high-polluting diesel powered engines to operate on natural gas, we anticipate strong sales for the balance of 2009," said Werner Funk, president and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering Corporation.
He highlighted two recently announced agreements concerning initial conversion orders for fleets in Peru and Bulgaria to support management's growth expectations for the year. Both projects in Peru and Bulgaria commenced in May.
Funk indicated that a project to convert diesel powered irrigation pumps in central California is expected to commence within the next 30 days.
