Greystone Reports Sales Growth of Over $2.2 Million in First Quarter
Tulsa-based Greystone Logistics, Inc. reported sales growth of over $2.2 million for the first quarter ended August 31, 2016, with sales of over $7.8 million compared to less than $5.6 million for the prior period, an increase of over 40%.
Greystone’s pallet sales to its two major customers during the three months ended August 31, 2016, were 66% of total sales (36% and 30%, respectively) compared to 31% (31% and -0-%, respectively) in the prior period. The increase in pallet sales is primarily attributable to the addition of the second major customer, a pallet leasing company.
For the three months ended August 31, 2016, Greystone recorded net income of $27,008 compared to $48,396 in the prior period. For the three months ended August 31, 2016, Greystone recorded a net loss available to common stockholders of $(117,439), or $(0.00) per share, compared to $(91,315), or $(0.00) per share, for the prior period.
“The addition of the pallet leasing customer has had a significant impact on Greystone’s sales and operations,” stated Warren Kruger, President and CEO. “Greystone incurred substantial costs necessary to achieve this growth including an approximately 68% increase in the number of employees over the prior period. The pallet leasing company’s demand for pallets is expected to be a continuing major source of revenue for Greystone. To meet this demand, we continued to invest in our company’s future through the addition of another injection-molding machine under a capital lease during the quarter ended August 31, 2016, and a second machine in September 2016. Further, we will be focusing on improving the returns for our shareholders through improvements in operating efficiencies and cost containment to achieve better margins.”
