Atrion Reports Second Quarter Results and Announces Dividend Increase |
ALLEN, TX--(Marketwired - August 09, 2016) - Atrion Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRI) today announced that for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 revenues totaled $36.1 million compared with $37.7 million in the same period in 2015. On a diluted per share basis, earnings for the period increased to $4.02 as compared to $3.99 in the same period of last year. Net income for the second quarter totaled to $7.5 million in both years. Commenting on the Company's results for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period last year, David A. Battat, President & CEO, said, "Overall sales were down 4%, reflecting lower prices in Ophthalmology following patent expirations and the impact of exchange rates on all our exports." Mr. Battat continued, "Cost of goods remained unchanged, as lower revenues reflected lower prices rather than volume. As a result, operating income was down 9% despite lower operating expenses in the period." Mr. Battat stated, "Net income for the second quarter was basically flat, benefitting from our adoption of a new accounting rule concerning employee share-based compensation that reduced our taxes from an effective rate of 35% in the second quarter of 2015 to 27% in the current year period, resulting in a $623,000 tax savings. Diluted EPS was up 1%, with the number of diluted shares slightly lower than in last year's second quarter." Mr. Battat added, "During the quarter we did not engage in stock buybacks while adding $2.3 million to our cash and short and long term investments, bringing the total to $41.4 million as of June 30, 2016." Mr. Battat stated, "For the remaining quarters of 2016, we expect to continue to see lower realized prices, while additional tax benefits from the new accounting rule are uncertain and will be uneven going forward." Mr. Battat concluded, "Our Board of Directors, confident in our long term growth, has approved a quarterly dividend increase from $0.90 to $1.05 per share payable on September 30, 2016 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2016."
