Lancer Reports Second Quarter Results SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 12
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lancer Corporation (AMEX:LAN) announced
results of operations for the second quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2004. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004
were $31.7 million, up 8% from sales in the second quarter of 2003.
Net earnings for the second quarter were $1.4 million, compared to
$0.2 million in the same period last year. Second quarter earnings
per diluted share rose to $0.15 in 2004 from $0.02 in 2003. In the
six months ended June 30, 2004, net sales were $61.2 million, up 9%
from sales in the same period of 2003. Net earnings in the first
half of 2004 were $2.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share,
compared to a loss of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in the
first half of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004, sales growth
was centered in the Europe and Asia/Pacific regions. Currency
fluctuations added 2% to sales in the quarter. The higher sales,
plus manufacturing cost reductions and the benefits of higher
factory output, caused most of the improvement in profitability
during the second quarter of 2004. Professional fees in the second
quarter of 2004 rose $0.8 million from the second quarter of 2003,
driven by the cost of the re-audit of financial statements for
prior years. Christopher D. Hughes, Chief Executive Officer,
commented: "Business was good in the Europe and Asia/Pacific
regions during the second quarter, but demand was generally flat in
North America. We are, however, seeing a growing number of orders
for our Flavor Select line of fountain dispensers from convenience
retailers in North America. Our Lancer FBD joint venture is also
enjoying widespread acceptance of its line of frozen beverage
dispensers. "I am pleased with the solid improvement in our second
quarter performance. Our focus on manufacturing costs and
efficiency is beginning to pay off, and that focus will continue as
we develop new sales opportunities." Lancer Corporation is a
