CompX International Inc. (NYSE American: CIX) announced today sales
of $42.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $35.9
million in the same period of 2021. Operating income was $6.3
million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $5.8 million in
the first quarter of 2021. Net income was $5.0 million, or $.40 per
basic and diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2022
compared to $4.7 million, or $.38 per basic and diluted common
share, in the same period of 2021.
Net sales increased for the quarter primarily
due to higher Security Products sales across a variety of markets
and to a lesser extent higher Marine Components sales primarily to
the towboat market. Operating income increased during the first
quarter of 2022 due to the higher sales offset by increased
production costs including increased raw material costs, higher
shipping costs, and increased labor costs due to higher wages,
overtime and increased headcount.
CompX is a leading manufacturer of security
products and recreational marine components. It operates from three
locations in the U.S. and employs approximately 600 people.
Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release relating to
matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements that represent management’s belief and assumptions based
on currently available information. Although we believe the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations
will be correct. Such statements, by their nature, involve
substantial risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact
expected results, and actual future results could differ materially
from those predicted. While it is not possible to identify all
factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties.
The factors that could cause our actual future results to differ
materially include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Future demand for
our products,
· Changes in our
raw material and other operating costs (such as zinc, brass,
aluminum, steel and energy costs) and our ability to pass those
costs on to our customers or offset them with reductions in other
operating costs,
· Price and product
competition from low-cost manufacturing sources (such as
China),
· The impact of
pricing and production decisions,
· Customer and
competitor strategies including substitute products,
· Uncertainties
associated with the development of new products and product
features,
· Future
litigation,
· Our ability to
protect or defend our intellectual property rights,
· Potential
difficulties in integrating future acquisitions,
· Decisions to sell
operating assets other than in the ordinary course of business,
· Environmental
matters (such as those requiring emission and discharge standards
for existing and new facilities),
· The ultimate
outcome of income tax audits, tax settlement initiatives or other
tax matters, including future tax reform,
· The impact of
current or future government regulations (including employee
healthcare benefit related regulations),
· General global
economic and political conditions that introduce instability into
our supply chain, impact our customers’ level of demand or our
customers’ perception regarding demand or impair our ability to
operate our facilities (including changes in the level of gross
domestic product in various regions of the world, natural
disasters, terrorist acts, global conflicts and public health
crises such as COVID-19),
· Operating
interruptions (including, but not limited to labor disputes,
hazardous chemical leaks, natural disasters, fires, explosions,
unscheduled or unplanned downtime, transportation interruptions,
cyber-attacks and public health crises such as COVID-19); and
· Possible
disruption of our business or increases in the cost of doing
business resulting from terrorist activities or global
conflicts.
Should one or more of these risks materialize or
if the consequences worsen, or if the underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results could differ materially from those
currently forecasted or expected. CompX disclaims any intention or
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement
whether as a result of changes in information, future events or
otherwise.
