Sparton Corporation Reports $0.43 EPS For Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter

Sparton Corporation (NYSE: SPA) today announced results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ended December 31, 2012. The Company reported second quarter sales of $66.0 million, or an increase of 19.2 %, from $55.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Reported net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $4.4 million or $0.43 per share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.19 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Cary Wood, President & CEO, commented, “The first half $0.52 diluted earnings per share results outpaced the first half of the prior year by 57%. As expected, the second quarter was very strong, as delayed shipments from the first quarter were realized during the current quarter and a tax benefit resulting from a worthless stock deduction was recognized as a result of ceasing our Canadian operation a number of years ago. On an adjusted basis, the first half earnings per share of $0.36 is up from the same time period last year.”

Onyx Acquisition

Mr. Wood continued, “We are extremely pleased to have closed the Onyx acquisition this past November. The first six weeks have resulted in a neutral impact to adjusted earnings and positive incremental EBITDA. We continue to expect that, as operational synergies and new business opportunities are realized, the acquisition will be accretive to earnings by the end of the year. The entry into the Minneapolis technological corridor laden with many large Medical OEM’s has already opened doors for Sparton’s legacy medical business for engineering programs as well as allowing the South Dakota team to explore larger and more complex device build opportunities with existing customers that were previously unattainable.”
