Farmingdale, NY, Aug. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cemtrex (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP, CETXW), a world leading industrial and
manufacturing leader, today reported its financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017.
“We maintained strong topline growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, with total revenue increasing 13% to $27.8 million,
while remaining profitable. Our ability to drive steady revenue growth is evident when looking out over the past couple of years.
Our revenue has increased from $42 million to $56 million to $86 million for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2015, 2016 and
2017, respectively,” stated Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. “We are focused on continuing to grow our business through
the acquisition of new, high quality customers, as well as expanding organically through our existing customers. In April 2017, we
received a record number of new incoming orders for a single month, totaling over $21 million. Included in these orders is a $15
million, three year agreement with one of our existing customers, which is the single largest order we have ever received.”
“In addition, we announced the establishment of our new subsidiary, Cemtrex Advanced Technologies along with its first
development product, an advanced ‘smart desk.’ It is an exciting time at Cemtrex as we leverage our deep experience in electronics
development and manufacturing and focus on bringing to market proprietary technologies that we believe are revolutionary. Our
initial products, in line with the innovative ‘smart desk’, will embrace the concept of bringing the workspace environment up to
speed with technological advances.”
“Cemtrex is strategically positioned to continue growth organically and through acquisitions. With $13.2 million in cash and
cash equivalents we are consistently evaluating growth opportunities to advance our businesses. This is a pivotal time for the
company as we see a strong pipeline in new and existing customers as well as new product development under our subsidiary. We
continue to scale the business with shareholder value as a core focus on going,” concluded Mr. Govil.
