Second Quarter 2016 Results
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, revenues from continuing operations were $15.5 million, a 3.7% increase compared to $14.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Bullion sales were up compared to the prior year quarter. Jewelry and scrap sales were down approximately 29% and 11%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter.
Gross profit from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016 decreased $287,000, or 11.2%, to $2.3 million compared to $2.6 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 14.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 17.2% for the same period in the prior year.
SG&A expenses increased by $60,000, or 2%, to $2.6 million, as compared to $2.5 million during the same period in 2015. The slight increase in SG&A as compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to cost associated with proposed transactions with Elemetal, LLC and NTR Metals, LLC.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $28,000, or 34%, to $110,000 compared to $82,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase was due to one-time write off of assets formerly utilized in one store closed during second quarter of 2016.
Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016, net of taxes, was $537,000 or $0.04 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $132,000, or $0.01 per share, in the second quarter of 2015.
Net loss, inclusive of discontinued operations, was approximately $537,000 or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $90,000, or $0.01 per share, in the year-ago period.
Year-to-Date 2016 Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, revenues from continuing operations were $27.3 million, a 2.0% decrease compared to $27.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to continued weakness in the Company’s scrap business, which is consistent with industry-wide trends. Bullion sales were up 19% compared to prior year, while jewelry sales were down 2% for the same period in the prior year.
Gross profit from continuing operations for the first six months of 2016 decreased by $471,000, or 9.6%, to $4.4 million compared to $4.9 million during the first six months of 2015. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 16.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to 17.6% for the same period in the prior year.
SG&A expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.7%, to $5.2 million, as compared to $5.4 million during the same period in 2015. The decrease in SG&A is due to our continued efforts to reduce expenses at all levels, including store-level operating expenses, corporate overhead and advertising expense.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $13,000, or 5.8%, to $209,000 compared to $222,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to one-time write off of assets formerly utilized in four stores closed during Fiscal 2015.
Loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016, net of taxes, was $1.2 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $0.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2015.
Net loss, inclusive of discontinued operations, was approximately $1.2 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.9 million, or $0.07 per share, in the year-ago period.
