SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 18, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pro-Tech Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:PTCK), a leader in design-build infrastructure services, announced its results for the quarter ending March 31, 2011.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company reported revenue of $3.6 million and net income of $50,000 from continuing operations or $0.00 per share. This compares to revenue of $2.8 million and net loss from continuing operations of $402,000 or $(0.02) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $31,000 or $0.00 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to a $374,000 loss or $0.02 loss per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company views EBITDA as a useful measure of its operating performance as it eliminates the aberrations produced by amortization and discontinued operations, and enables the investment community to better evaluate our long run profitability from the ongoing operations.
For the trailing twelve months, the Company's revenues were $14.6 million with an operating profit of $622,000 and net income of $553,000 from continuing operations or $0.03 per share. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $861,000 or $0.05 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. A reconciliation of these numbers has been included in the tables section and is taken from our filings.
Donald Gordon, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated, "We are pleased with the progress made over the past twelve months. It shows the hard work of the management team and our associates is paying off. We have made hard decisions which at times have been difficult, but the positive results help to reinforce these decisions."
Sean McGuire, President of Pro-Tech Fire Protection Systems Corp, added, "Decisions we have made to emphasize the service and support side of our Fire Life Safety segment are beginning to pay dividends as we go into the second quarter. We are excited about the possibilities these services bring to the segment as we build up the services division to take on a more prominent role. We believe but cannot guarantee that we will see significant market penetration in this area as our investment takes hold in late second quarter and into quarter three."
