(Nasdaq: GENC) announced today net revenues of $18.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $24.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Gross margins were 25.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to 26.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as the benefit from the Company’s cost management and operational improvements were offset by lower production levels. Product engineering and development expenses increased $100,000 to $881,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, due to higher headcount and salaries. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $292,000 to $2,471,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Increases in sales headcount and related travel expenses resulted in the increased SG&A expenses. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was down 59.5% to $1.4 million compared with $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Included innon-operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 were net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities of $1.1 million, due to the increase in the domestic equity markets in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Company’s backlog was $11.9 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $29.3 million at June 30, 2018.

John Elliott, Gencor’s CEO, stated, “Gencor experienced a slowdown in orders from the prior year, as customers have focused on their late project starts and have delayed capital purchases. Historically, orders have been strong in the early and middle years of a multi-year Federal highway bill and then moderate in the later years. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act enacted in December 2015 is set to expire in October of 2020. Currently, there is no long-term bill in place that will replace the FAST Act. Bipartisan political support for domestic infrastructure is a positive sign that the nation will continue to receive long-term Federal funding, which will ultimately benefit our industry.

Third quarter bookings were below our expectations as permitting issues and delays resulted in deferred customer purchases. We expect this to be more of a timing issue as our sales pipeline remains strong. Our customers are busy improving the infrastructure of our country and are generally positive about their business outlook.

We continue to invest in plant, personnel and R&D to expand our product lines and geographic reach. We see growth opportunities in new markets to position Gencor for continued success.

We have taken advantage of the available capacity andpre-built equipment that will assist us during the busy fall and winter months to shorten our delivery cycles. The Company is well positioned going forward to take full advantage of all opportunities in the marketplace and our industry over the coming year.”

Gencor Industries is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer for the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels and environmental control machinery and equipment used in a variety of applications.
