Dynatronics' Acquisitions Increase Sales 91 Percent in First Quarter

DYNT 1.29, +0.01, +0.8%) today announced results for its first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Sales for the quarter were up 91 percent to $7,891,430, compared to $4,139,057 in the prior year period. The increase in sales was primarily due to the acquisition of six of the company's top independent distributors on June 30, 2007, and July 2, 2007.
"We're pleased with this increase in sales," stated Kelvyn H. Cullimore Jr., chairman and president of Dynatronics. "Not only did we enjoy a strong increase in rehab sales from the acquisitions, but our aesthetic sales rose 81 percent for the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, the acquisitions contributed to a 97 percent increase in gross profit over the same period of the previous year."
Non-recurring items and costs related to the recent acquisitions estimated at $1.1 million in the quarter contributed to the net loss for the quarter of $712,203 ($.05 per share), compared to a net loss of $175,008 ($.02 per share) in the prior year period.
"Excluding the $1.1 million in acquisition related costs, the company virtually operated at a break-even for the quarter," explained Cullimore. "We're pleased to report that the assimilation process is going well and is on schedule. Much of the assimilation success is attributable to the fact we have known and worked with these target companies for many years."
"We're excited to continue adding direct sales reps in the field," reported Larry K. Beardall, executive vice president of sales and marketing. "With direct distribution of our products now in 23 states, we're progressing toward our goal of establishing the premier distribution channel in our industry by combining the best sales reps and dealers available."
Cullimore added that the strategic plans to reposition Dynatronics in a fast-evolving, competitive industry are showing great promise as sales momentum continues to build as does interest on the part of sales reps and dealers to be part of the Dynatronics team.
