SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Detrex Corporation (OTCQX:DTRX), today announced 2015 second quarter net income of $661,594, or $0.38 per fully diluted share, and year-to-date net income of $1,374,545, or $0.80 per fully diluted share. This compares to 2014 second quarter net income from continuing operations of $521,140 and net income of $217,001, which includes a dispute settlement in discontinued operations related to the sale of the Harvel Plastics, Inc. business. The 2014 year-to-date net income from continuing operations was $1,063,085, and net income was $758,946. The Company also announced that it will pay a third quarter dividend of $0.25 per share on September 18, 2015 to shareholders of record as of September 4, 2015.
Revenues in 2015 increased both for the quarter and year-to-date compared to the prior year. Second quarter 2015 revenues were $10.0 million, representing a $0.2 million improvement over 2014 and year-to-date revenues of $20.9 million are $1.0 million above the year-ago period. The year-over-year revenue improvement was the result of gains in several product lines and improving sales of a product that tends to fluctuate in volume from month to month. Earnings improved in 2015 for the quarter and year-to-date primarily as the result of higher gross margin from volume and improved product mix.
“Elco is performing well in the current market environment and we are pleased to see improved year-over-year performance,” said President and CEO Tom Mark. “We continue to invest in the business to generate global growth as we embrace strategic opportunities to generate shareholder value.”
