Omega Flex, Inc. Announces 1st Quarter 2017 Earnings

EXTON, Pa., April 20, 2017 -- Omega Flex, Inc. (Nasdaq:OFLX) today reported its results of operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017:

Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO, announced that the Company’s Net Sales for the first quarter of 2017 were $25,607,000, increasing $4,981,000 (24.1%) over the first quarter of 2016, which had Net Sales of $20,626,000. 

The Company’s Net Income for the first three months of 2017 was $4,138,000 compared to $2,643,000 established during the same quarter last year, increasing $1,495,000 or 56.6%. 

The Company is encouraged that it has outperformed the current level of construction activity, both in the United States and abroad, and was able to widen its income over last year, despite an increase in the cost of its core raw material components.  Sales expanded in most areas of the business, as we saw a resurgence of activity with some of our largest volume customers that had slumped during the previous year.  Continuing with our trend of growth over the last several years, this was the Company’s most successful first quarter to date.
