ETC Announces Fiscal 2022 Full Year and Fourth Quarter Results
As it happens, the company was in focus yesterday after it announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2022 which had ended on February 25, 2022.
The Chief Executive Officer and President of the company Robert L Laurent Jr noted that although the company’s performance was not up to the mark as far as its historic levels were concerned, there was an improvement on a year-on-year basis. The company managed to bring in net earnings of $1.8 million for the fiscal year and that worked out to diluted earnings per share of $0.08. It should be noted in the fiscal year 2021, the company had suffered a loss of $7.5 million. On the other hand, the net sales for the fiscal year stood at $19.1 million and that reflected a year-on-year rise of as much as 17.7%.
Robert L. Laurent, Jr., ETC’s Chief Executive Officer, and President stated, “ETC’s fiscal 2022 results, though below historical levels, improved over the prior year, but those results were once again affected by worldwide travel restrictions that made sales activities challenging. Fiscal 2022 results reflect a net sales increase of 17.7%, a gross profit increase of 241.6%, and a 14 % reduction in operating expense and other income of $5.2 million, leading to a return to net income of $1.8 million. We enter fiscal 2023 with significant prospects.”
