TAT Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results
Friday August 15, 1:21 pm ET
GEDERA, Israel, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TAT Technologies Limited
(Nasdaq: TATTF - News), which is engaged in the manufacture, repair and overhaul
of heat transfer equipment and other various accessories mainly in aircraft,
reported today net income of $1,404,143 on revenues of $23,199,622 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to net income of $1,923,020 on revenues of
$23,064,471 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 the Company reports net income of
$2,903,101 derived from revenues of $45,442,969 compared to net income of
$4,508,262 and revenues of $48,091,458 for the same period ended June 30, 2007.
The Company's $23,199,622 revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 are
slightly higher compared to the $23,064,071 revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2007.
The 27% decrease in net income to $1,404,143 for the three months ended June 30,
2008 from $1,923,020 in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was
caused by: (i) the decrease in the net profit of our main subsidiary,
Limco-Piedmont, from $1,565,000 last year (fully owned) to $624,000 this year
(for our 62% ownership) which is due in part to an adjustment to inventory and a
decrease in revenues which was primarily attributable to slower than anticipated
parts sales which was offset by growth in MRO revenues, and (ii) a one time
compensation charge of $460,000 arising from the previously announced retirement
of certain managers. The quarterly results also reflect the positive addition to
our net profit for the quarter of $434,000 of net income attributable to our new
37% owned subsidiary, Bental Industries Ltd.
