Sterling Consolidated Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results
NEPTUNE, N.J., Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sterling Consolidated Corp. (OTCBB: STCC), a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic seals to the automotive and industrial marketplace, today reported its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Key Highlights:
- Formed Acquisition Committee as the Company looks to consolidate the highly fragmented O-ring distributor market
- Identified several strategic targets for acquisition
- Announced the sale of its non-strategic Cliffwood Beach, NJ property which allowed the Company to retire nearly 50% of its secured debt
Revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $1,500,809 million, up slightly compared to $1,471,319 million for the same period in 2012. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 was $484,912, a 23% increase from $394,582 for the same period in 2012.
The Company's operating loss for the second quarter of 2013 was $140,618 compared to operating income of $113,820 in the second quarter of 2012. Net loss for the period was $107,451, or $0.0029 per diluted share, compared to net income of $38,327, or $0.001 per diluted share, in the comparable period in 2012. This decrease is due to an increase in Selling, General and Administrative expenses. The increase in General and Administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in administrative and professional fees related to becoming a public company.
Darren DeRosa, Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Consolidated, commented, "Since becoming a publicly traded company, we have reached a couple of significant milestones. The sale of our non-strategic property in Cliffwood Beach, NJ for $650,000 resulted in the retirement of nearly 50% of the Company's secured debt. This closing gave way to the formation of our Acquisition Committee last month and has allowed us to be aggressive as we strategically search, review and approve potential acquisition targets."
Mr. DeRosa continued, "At this exciting time, we are in an excellent position to consolidate small O-ring distributors that will contribute to our top and bottom lines. Our Acquisition Committee has already identified several potential acquisition candidates and we are in deep discussions with O-ring distributors that will complement the Company's goals of expanding our geographic footprint and strategically growing our business."
