Transportation Components, Inc. Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999HOUSTON, Aug. 12 -- Transportation Components, Inc. (TransCom USA) today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999. For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company reported net income of $1.6 million, or $.09 per diluted share, on revenues of $81.1 million, compared with net income of $24,000, or $.01 per diluted share, on revenues of $3.8 million for the second quarter of 1998. Founded in October 1997, TransCom had no operations until its initial public offering on June 24, 1998, when it acquired its nine founding companies. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company earned $3.6 million, or $.20 per diluted share, on revenues of $159.4 million, compared with a net loss of $4.8 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, on revenues of $3.8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The results for the six months ended June 30, 1998 included a nonrecurring, noncash compensation charge of $4.9 million related to common stock issued to TransCom's management and consultants in the first quarter of 1998. "We are pleased with the quick pace of our integration efforts," commented T. Michael Young, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Because of the critical importance of installing common operating and financial systems throughout the TransCom family of companies, we have accelerated our implementation schedule. These systems should be substantially installed by the end of 1999." Young continued, "We have also made substantial progress in implementing product line commonality, which is important to maximizing our purchasing discounts and in marketing to and servicing national and regional customers. Administrative expenses, however, will remain higher than we would like until our systems have been fully implemented and our integration efforts are further along." Reporting on significant events, Young said, "TransCom has just been named the preferred provider for a national fleet company. In addition, a TransCom company was recently selected to be the exclusive crane supplier for Halliburton Energy Services, a major oilfield service company, as a result of Halliburton's standardization efforts. While we can't estimate the amount of business these selections may represent, we believe they present significant future business opportunities for our company."
