IWG announces third quarter results - Fiscal 2009
BURNABY, BC, July 23 /CNW/ - International Water-Guard Industries Inc. today announced the financial results for the third quarter fiscal 2009 ended June 30, 2009.
The Company reported sales of $1,146,415 compared to $1,292,745 for the same quarter of the previous year, representing an 11% decrease. Nine month sales to June 30th were $3,686,825 compared to $3,003,193 in the prior year, a 23% increase.
Third quarter net earnings were $22,694 compared to net earnings of $46,338 in the prior year's third quarter, but nine month net earnings were $122,043 compared to a loss of ($137,113) a year earlier. This increase reflects a recovery from the prior year's temporary drop off in sales and of the US dollar exchange rate that occurred in the prior year's first six months.
"Our performance over the first nine months of the year has been good, in particular considering the generally negative industry climate," said David Fox, IWG's president & CEO. "Looking forward, we are moving with caution in terms of our cost base while increasing our sales activities and investigating opportunities that are being uncovered by the downturn," he added.
The results for the quarter provide 0.1 cents net earnings per share in the current quarter (0.4 cents year to date) compared to net earnings of 0.1 cents per share in the third quarter of the prior year (loss of 0.4 cents year to date) on both a basic and fully diluted basis.
