Earnings Calls
Last Earnings Call
Revenue: Alpha Pro Tech said 2012 revenue rose 6.6% to $41.1 million, but that fell short of the company’s 10% target for the year.
Profitability: Full-year net income increased 4.7% to $977,000, while fourth-quarter net income fell to $118,000 from $355,000 as expenses rose.
Building Supply: This was the strongest business, with 2012 sales up 10% to a record $23.7 million and fourth-quarter sales up 23% on strong housewrap and roof underlayment demand.
Margins: Gross margin declined to 34.4% in the quarter and 35.2% for the year, pressured by higher raw material costs and competitive pricing in Building Supply; management said 35% to 36% remains the target range.
Outlook: Management expects Building Supply products such as TECHNOply and REX Wrap Fortis to gain more traction in 2013, helped by new distribution agreements.
Capital: The company ended the year with no debt, $4.6 million of cash, and an expanded share buyback authorization of $2 million.
Investor focus: In Q&A, management said Q4 profitability was mainly hurt by higher bonuses and sales and marketing costs, and they reiterated that more revenue growth should improve earnings leverage.
