Gencor Industries reports Q1 EPS 23c vs 26c last year

Reports Q1 revenue $23.577M vs $31.4M last year. Marc Elliott, Gencor’s President and Chairman of the Board, commented, “Despite a first quarter decline in revenues, Gencor realized a higher gross profit margin on sales due primarily to robust aftermarket sales activity. We started our fiscal year with weaker-than-normal backlog and a government shutdown that affected customer confidence in the first quarter. In recent months, however, we have seen a pickup in order activity and more optimism from our customers on large capital purchases. Our current backlog of over $57 million suggests a solid year ahead with continued optimism.”
