August 9, 2024 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) - Gencor Industries, Inc. (the Company or Gencor) (NYSE American: GENC) announced today net

The lower revenues reflect the delayed timing of the shipment of orders.
As a percent of sales, gross profit margins decreased to 23.9% in the quarter
ended June 30, 2024, compared to 26.9% in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, on lower absorption from reduced production and lower parts sales.

quarter ended June 30, 2023. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $76,000 to $3,290,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3,214,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The
increase in SG&A expenses was due to increased professional fees.
Operating income decreased from $3,453,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023
to $1,993,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, due to lower net revenues, reduced gross profit margins, and slightly higher operating expenses.

Interest and dividend income, net of fees, was $966,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $673,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates earned on increased cash
balances and fixed income investments. The net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities were $363,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 versus $46,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, due to the sale of bonds prior to
maturity.

effective income tax rate.

Marc Elliott, Gencors President, commented,
Third quarter fiscal 2024 revenues dipped from the prior year, primarily due to timing of revenue recognition on orders nearing completion. This is positively reflected in our elevated backlog of $46.6 million, a historic high for this
time of year with an unprecedented 67% increase over fiscal 2023.
