Gencor Releases Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results
ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gencor Industries, Inc. (the “Company” or “Gencor”) (NYSE American: GENC) announced today net revenues of $27,877,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $29,647,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Gross margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were 26.9% compared with 19.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 on increased efficiency, absorption, and favorable price realization.
Product engineering and development expenses decreased by $106,000 to $845,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $951,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 due primarily to reduced headcount and improved efficiency. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $637,000 to $3,214,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2,577,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to trade show expenses.
Operating income increased from $2,151,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 to $3,453,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, due to improved gross profit margins partially offset by increased operating expenses.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company had net other income of $719,000 compared to net other expense of $(3,390,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Interest and dividend income, net of fees, was $673,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $304,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year increased due to higher rates earned on fixed income investments coupled with the Company reallocating its holdings in equities to fixed income in January 2023. The net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities were $46,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 versus net realized and unrealized losses of $(3,693,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The fiscal 2022 investment losses were reflective of higher interest rates, inflation, market volatility and tightening of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.
The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was an expense of 23.0% versus a benefit of 18.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, based on the expected annual effective income tax rate.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $3,212,000, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, versus a net loss of $(1,015,000), or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 the Company had net revenues of $84,204,000 and net income of $11,561,000 ($0.79 per basic and diluted share) versus net revenues of $80,407,000 and a net loss of $(850,000) ($(0.06) per basic and diluted share) for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.
At June 30, 2023, the Company had $94,619,000 of cash and marketable securities compared to $98,881,000 at September 30, 2022. Net working capital was $163,209,000 at June 30, 2023. The Company had no short-term or long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2023.
The Company’s backlog was $27.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $40.2 million at June 30, 2022.
Marc Elliott, Gencor’s President, commented, “Third quarter activity levels were very solid compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022, and we achieved another quarter of strong operating margins of nearly 27%. Our profit enhancement was the result of a continuation of an improved materials environment, solid execution in manufacturing, and continued effective cost management efforts.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act continues to bear fruit for our industry along with the numerous states that have increased their infrastructure spending. We anticipate that equipment orders will follow the historic seasonal patterns for the upcoming fall and winter months as supply-chain issues and lead times improve. We are well-poised for an influx of new activity ahead, and remain optimistic about the growth of our business and our mission of delivering high-quality products to our customers.”
