O.I. Corporation Reports Correction to Third Quarter 2007 Earnings Release |
College Station, Texas, November 13, 2007 – O.I. Corporation (NASDAQ: OICO) announced its Third Quarter Earnings on November 8, 2007, through the publication of a press release. The press release reported basic earnings per share based upon an incorrect number of weighted average shares which resulted in an overstatement of one cent for the quarter.
Weighted average shares (basic, in thousands) for the three and nine months ended September 30 were reported as 2,730 and 2,829; the correct number of shares is 2,770 and 2,842 respectively. Weighted average shares (diluted, in thousands) were also incorrectly reported as 2,814 and 2,916 for the three and nine months; the correct number of shares is 2,825 and 2,895 respectively. The change in these numbers results in a decrease in basic earnings per share for the quarter from $0.15 as previously reported to $0.14. No other amounts in the release were affected. A corrected tabular presentation including the portion affected is included below.
