Packaged Home Solutions Subsidiary Announces an Agreement With Marketing Firm to Install Products Exclusively for Major Home Products Retailer
Initial Rollout Expected to Generate $1.5 Million in the Next 12 Months
Jun 29, 2007 9:00:00 AM
CINCINNATI, OH and JACKSONVILLE, FL -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 06/29/07 -- Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PKGH) (www.packagedhomesolutions.com) ("PHS" or "the Company") announced today that its subsidiary, Southeastern Renovations ("SER"), has agreed to terms with Bildtec, Inc., a Houston-based national retailer of residential product and installation services. The agreement outsources to SER Bildtec's installations and warranty services, which Bildtec has been providing on an exclusive basis to a major national retailer of home products in over 120 locations throughout the U.S.

SER's Installation Division, headed by Chuck Horne, a former Lowe's senior executive in charge of installed sales, is providing similar estimating and installation services for other national retailers. This new contract will allow the Installation Division to achieve further market growth in its existing markets, as well as new market openings that fit into the Company's current regional market expansion strategy.

After many weeks of negotiations, Bildtec chose to outsource all of its installations and warranty work conducted on behalf of this national retailer to SER as a result of the proven operational experience of both SER's lead management as well as the company's historical performance. PHS projects to implement the SER-Bildtec relationship in 5-8 locations initially, forecasting approximately $1.5M in gross revenue over the next 12 months from these 5-8 stores involved in the initial rollout. Expected gross profit margins should exceed 25%. After the initial rollout is completed, SER will continue to service additional locations and markets for Bildtech.

Packaged Home Solutions Chief Executive Officer Todd Medina commented, "We are extremely pleased with the relationship which we are developing with Bildtec. As we expand into a market area to handle the needs of Bildtech, we will also be bringing into that market our other products and services. However the installation-only services that we are providing to Bildtec and other national home improvement retail chains gives us a base of income and profits on which to build our other operations. The installation-only services area allows us to ramp up much quicker than we had originally planned. This relationship with Bildtec will positively impact our 3rd Quarter Revenues, which we will publicize in early October. Most exciting are the long-term possibilities, in that stores such as these can easily generate $250K annually per store in installed sales. The potential, given the number of stores, is astronomical. This not only provides huge potential growth and return for our shareholders, but it is a stable and secure model that allows us to broaden our coverage areas, while enhancing overall revenues through the cross marketing of other products and services offered by our other PHS subsidiaries."
