- Company improves margins to offset higher material prices. ST.
LOUIS, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allied Healthcare
Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:AHPI) reported that its net income increased
38 percent to $869,000, or 11 cents per share, during its fourth
quarter ending June 30, 2007, versus $629,000, or 8 cents per
share, for the fourth quarter last year. Despite its stronger
fourth quarter, Allied experienced flat net income of $1,641,600,
or 21 cents per share, compared to $1,648,600, or 21 cents per
share, for the prior fiscal year. Fourth quarter sales decreased by
about 3 percent, or $417,000, compared to the last quarter of the
prior year. However, lower costs and expenses more than offset the
sales decline, producing a solid increase in net income despite
income tax expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 that were
$606,000 higher than for the fourth quarter of 2006. The 2006
fourth quarter benefited from a settlement and resolution of state
tax contingencies. For fiscal year 2007, Allied sales declined
about $1.04 million, or 2 percent, compared to 2006. Lower costs
for 2007 offset the decline. Higher prices for raw materials such
as copper, brass and zinc increased costs about 5.4 percent in
fiscal 2006. Despite competitive pricing pressures, Allied was able
to selectively increase prices during 2007. These increases,
combined with programs to cut costs, resulted in improved margins
for Allied. "We are far from satisfied with flat results for 2007,"
said Earl Refsland, president and chief executive officer. Refsland
said the company would continue to hold the line on costs in 2008
and work to increase domestic and international sales with new
products. A weaker U.S. dollar helped boost international orders
for Allied by almost 9 percent over 2006, and Refsland said that he
expects this positive effect to continue to help the company in
2008. Despite increases in inventory and capital expenditures in
2007, the company increased its cash balance by about $1 million,
Refsland said. Allied Healthcare Products, Inc. is a leading
manufacturer of respiratory care products, medical gas equipment
and emergency medical products used in a wide range of hospital and
alternate care settings. "SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT: Statements
