IMPCO Reports First Quarter 2005 Results CERRITOS, Calif., May 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMCO),
today reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2005.
IMPCO's first quarter fiscal 2005 results were $25.0 million in
revenue and $2.2 million in operating loss, as compared to $28.6
million in revenues and $2.4 million in operating income for the
same period in 2004. First quarter fiscal year 2005 revenue
decreased $3.6 million, or 13%, while operating income decreased
$4.6 million, or 190%, compared to the same period in 2004. Net
loss for the first quarter of 2005 was $2.2 million or $0.10 net
loss per share, compared to a net income of $0.5 million or $0.03
net income per share in the same period in 2004. Since the
acquisition of the remaining 50% of BRC was completed on March 31,
2005, the consolidated statement of operations includes only our
50% share in BRC's earnings for the first quarter although the BRC
balance sheet is fully consolidated with IMPCO's at March 31, 2005.
The operating loss in the first quarter of 2005 of $2.2 million as
compared to income of $2.4 million for the same period of 2004 is
attributed primarily to: * A reduction in gross profit of $0.7
million due to reduced revenues of $3.6 million partially offset by
a 1% higher gross margin. * Compensation expenses of $2.2 million
including the remeasurement of stock options related to the
departure of two former executive officers. * Higher costs of $0.9
million related to the filing of our 10-K for 2004 and expenses
related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. * Higher research and
development expenses of $0.4 million related to the development and
testing of new product programs and releases * Recognition of $0.1
million for acquired in-process research and development related to
the first quarter of 2005 acquisition of BRC. Mariano Costamagna,
President and CEO, said, "Our first quarter revenue was down
compared to the same period last year primarily due to the fact we
are no longer consolidating the revenue of our operations in Mexico
and India. Additionally, sales were down for the period in the
industrial and power generation market due to fewer natural
disasters and reduced demand for engine systems compared to last
year when the product line was first introduced." Mr. Costamagna
mentioned that, "With the closing of the BRC acquisition complete,
we are now focused on the integration and consolidation of the two
companies with a focus on creating operating efficiencies that will
allow us to take advantage of industrial and commercial growth
opportunities while at the same time improving profitability. We
are very pleased with the current market demand being shown for our
BRC transportation products with unconsolidated BRC revenues up 77%
in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period last
year." First Quarter 2005 Conference Call IMPCO will host a
