Atrion Reports Second Quarter Results

ATRI

ALLEN, Texas, Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atrion Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRI) today announced that for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 revenues totaled $38.8 million compared with $36.2 million for the same period in 2017. Net income for the second quarter of 2018 totaled $8.8 million as compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2017, with diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2018 at $4.74 compared to $5.40 in the second quarter of 2017.

Commenting on the Company’s results for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period last year, David A. Battat, President & CEO, said, “Revenues were up 7% with most major products contributing to this solid performance, and operating income increased 11%.” Mr. Battat continued, “Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2018 was 22% compared to 5% in the comparable 2017 period largely due to significantly lower tax benefits from stock compensation.  If we excluded those benefits in both periods, our income per diluted share in the 2018 period would have been $4.70 compared to $3.79 in the 2017 quarter."  Mr. Battat concluded, “Manufacturing efficiencies and disciplined cost control resulted in operating income constituting 29% of revenues in the current year quarter compared to 28% in the second quarter of 2017. During the quarter, we added $3.5 million to our cash and short and long term investments bringing the total to $82.4 million as of June 30, 2018. We continue to be debt free.”

Atrion Corporation develops and manufactures products primarily for medical applications.  The Company’s website is www.atrioncorp.com.
