HOPE, Ark., Apr. 19, 2007 -- Champion Parts, Inc. , remanufacturer of automotive parts, today announced net sales of $3,127,000 for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2006, compared to $4,523,000 in the comparable period of 2005. The company reported a net loss of $269,000, or $0.08 per share in the quarter, compared to a net loss of $242,000, or $0.07 per share in the same period of 2005.
For the year 2006, the company reported net sales of $18,061,000, compared to $21,651,000. The company had net income of $10,000, or $0.00 per share, compared to $37,000, or $0.01 per share for the same period in 2005.
Jerry A. Bragiel, president and chief executive officer, said, "While the company remained profitable for the year, its results were negatively impacted by weaker sales."
The executive noted that its late 2006 year-end acquisition of the carburetor business of Tomco will be fully reflected in the current 2007 year and will afford the company with increased revenues and expected profit margins generated from remanufactured carburetors. Champion will now benefit greatly from Tomco's widely diversified and loyal customer base who have relied on Tomco's excellence of product and demonstrated devotion to service. In 2005, Tomco reported $9.5 million in carburetor sales.
The company also said it is continuing to pursue other new products and market opportunities and diversification.
