REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2008 RESULTS
DALLAS,
TEXAS … May 2, 2008 … CompX International Inc. (NYSE: CIX) announced today sales
of $40.5 million for the first quarter of 2008 compared to $43.6 million in the
same period of 2007. Operating income was $3.5 million in the
first quarter of 2008 compared to $5.4 million in the same period of
2007. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008 were $0.13
compared to $0.20 in the same period of 2007.
Net sales
decreased principally due to lower order rates from many of our customers as a
result of general unfavorable economic conditions in North America, offset in
part by the effect of sales price increases for certain products in order to
mitigate the effect of higher raw material costs. The decrease in
operating income is primarily due to reduced coverage of fixed manufacturing
costs caused by the lower sales volume, increased raw material costs not
entirely passed on to customers and changes in product mix.
“The year
has begun as a particularly challenging one with an economic environment that
sends mixed signals,” commented David A. Bowers, President &
CEO. “While lower order rates and higher costs are putting pressure
on our margins, all of our business units continued to be profitable for the
quarter. For the balance of the year, we will continue our focus on
improving the efficiency of our cost structure and on developing new product and
customer opportunities.”
CompX is
a leading manufacturer of security products, furniture components and
performance marine components. It operates from eight locations in
the U.S., Canada and Taiwan and employs more than 1,000 people.
Statements
in this release relating to matters that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements based upon management’s belief and assumptions using
currently available information. Although CompX believes the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it
cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be
correct. Such statements, by their nature, involve substantial risks
and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results, and actual
future results could differ materially from those described in such
forward-looking statements. While it is not possible to identify all
factors, CompX continues to face many risks and uncertainties. Among
the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially include,
but are not limited to, general economic and political conditions, changes in
raw material and other operating costs, demand for office furniture, service
industry employment levels, competitive products and prices, fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, the introduction of trade barriers, potential
difficulties in integrating completed acquisitions, the ability to sustain or
increase operating income improvement resulting from cost control initiatives,
uncertainties associated with new product development and other risks and
uncertainties detailed in CompX’s Securities and Exchange Commission
filings. Should one or more of these risks materialize or if the
consequences worsen, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results could differ materially from those currently forecasted or
expected. CompX disclaims any intention or obligation to publicly
update or revise such statements whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
