Speedemissions, Inc Reports First Quarter Results

ATLANTA, GA. May 13, 2011/Business Wire/ — Speedemissions, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPMI - News), a leading vehicle emissions testing and safety inspections company with testing stores in Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis and Salt Lake City today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Financial and Operational Highlights:

 

   

Revenue decreased 13.9% or $341,987 to $2,111,126 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $2,453,113 in the comparable period of 2010. The decrease in revenue over the comparable period was primarily due to the closure of two stores and a decrease in same store sales of 7.5%. The decrease in same store sales was mainly attributable to an extended period of inclement weather during the first quarter and increased competition.

 

   

Store operating expenses decreased 7.4% or $114,835 to $1,441,887 in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $1,556,722 in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in store operating expenses was primarily due to the closure of two stores and a decrease in same store operating expenses of $62,215.

 

   

General and administrative expenses decreased $54,940, or 13.9% in the first quarter of 2011 over the comparable period of 2010, mainly due to lower professional fees.

 

   

The Company incurred a net loss of $143,951, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2011 compared to a net loss of $51,575, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2010.

Richard A. Parlontieri, President and Chief Executive Officer of Speedemissions commented:

“The first quarter historically is one of our slowest periods. This year was impacted even more so by the large patches of inclement weather. We’re happy to put it behind us. We believe the poor weather conditions in January and February, which forced us to close stores in all four cities for a collective ten (10) days, negatively affected our same store sales comparisons across all of our stores. On a positive note, we continue to see a growth in product sales (windshield wipers, light bulbs, etc.) despite a decrease in overall tests. To bolster sales even further, we will be adding other automotive services sometime this year.”
