Conrad Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results and New Business Update
MORGAN CITY, La., Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Conrad Industries, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: CNRD.PK) announced today its third quarter and nine months 2011 results and the signing of new contracts, sale of stock barges, and the cancellation of projects during the quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, Conrad had net income of $3.5 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.54 compared to net income of $1.6 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.26 during the third quarter of 2010. The Company had net income of $12.4 million and earnings per diluted share of $1.93 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to net income of $7.0 million and earnings per diluted share of $1.09 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The diluted shares for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 are 6.4 million and 6.5 million, respectively. The Company's financial reports are available at www.otcmarkets.com.
During the third quarter new contracts added include a 250'x 72'x 12' crane barge, a 265'x 54'x 13' LPG tank barge, and five 297'x 54' x 13' 30,000 bbl. double skin light oil tank barges.
We also sold three stock 297'x 54'x 12' double skin tank barges with 30,000 gross barrel capacity.
Additionally, a customer defaulted on contracts that include two 192'x 42'x10' 7500 bbl. double skin tank barges and two 75'x 30'x 10' towboats which were at the beginning stages of construction and thus were cancelled. The default also included two 192'x 42'x10' 7500 bbl. double skin tank barges and two 200'x 35'x 12'6" 10,000 bbl. tank barges that are under construction and for which we have interested customers. As a result of contract provisions that allow us to recover from the defaulting customer the difference between the contract price and what we sell the barge for, progress payments already made by the defaulting customer, and favorable market conditions for these vessels, we do not expect any material adverse financial consequences due to the default.
Backlog at September 30, 2011 was $87.7 million compared to $86.1 million at September 30, 2010, $89.5 million at December 31, 2010, and $88.7 million at June 30, 2011.
