Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation Announces Fiscal 2013 Financial Results

ELMWOOD PARK, N.J., Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation (OTC: KRSL) announced sales and earnings for the year ended June 30, 2013. Kreisler achieved Fiscal 2013 net income of $1.8 million compared to a Fiscal 2012 net loss of $2.8 million.  Fiscal 2012 results were negatively impacted by the sale of Kreisler Polska Sp. z o.o to United Technologies Holding SAS. Our cash balances at June 30, 2013 were $8.9 million, an increase of $6.7 million compared to June 30, 2012. Backlog also grew 14% to $41.3 million.  Fiscal 2013 net sales of $30.4 million were $7.1 million lower than Fiscal 2012 sales.  Fiscal 2013 income from operations (after tax) was $1.7 million, a decrease of 24% compared to Fiscal 2012 income from operations (after tax) of $2.3 million.

The Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year-ended June 30, 2013 are available at www.kreislermfg.com/investors and should be read in conjunction with this press release.

"Fiscal 2013 was our first full year following the sale of Kreisler Polska Sp. z o.o as announced on July 9, 2012," said Kreisler Co-President & CEO Michael Stern.  "As a result, we were able to focus solely on improving the performance of Kreisler Industrial Corporation.  During the fiscal year, we were able to significantly improve our delivery performance to all customers and continue to improve our product quality and manufacturing processes.  This also included maintaining our profitability despite a 19% reduction in year-over-year sales.  We also experienced a significant increase in our balance sheet cash and short-term investments.  This cash growth was primarily attributable to a combination of inventory reductions ($2.3 million), reductions in accounts receivable ($1.0 million), income taxes due to our exit from Poland ($1.6 million) and net income ($1.8 million).  Our ability to increase cash during Fiscal 2013 allowed us to pay our stockholders a special dividend of $0.50 per share during August 2013."

Michael Stern added, "On behalf of Ned Stern, Co-President & CCO, and me, we want to thank our Kreisler colleagues for their efforts in allowing us to achieve these improvements and performance in the present environment.  We also thank our stockholders for their continued support of our company."
