Sparton Reports Q1 FY2018 Net Sales of Nearly $83M
November 14, 2017 | Sparton Corp.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Sparton Corporation has announced consolidated net sales of $82.8 million and gross profit margin of 17.6% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 ended October 1, 2017.
"As a result of our recent growth in new program wins, we experienced some interruptions in production and increased inventory levels which is typical with new program introductions. We believe that the backlog from these programs has us positioned for growth in the upcoming quarters and beyond," commented Joseph J. Hartnett, interim president and CEO.
Joseph G. McCormack, senior vice president and CFO, commented, "We experienced net cash outflows and increasing debt in the quarter. This was principally the result of the timing of a payment from the U.S. Navy, significant transaction-related costs as a result of the signing of the merger agreement during the quarter, increasing inventories as a result of the new product introductions, as well as typical year-end compensation related payments. The underlying fundamentals of the business remain unchanged and we expect to return to positive free cash flows and reducing our debt levels in the second quarter."
