Colonial Commercial Corp. Reports 2011 Second Quarter Results

HAWTHORNE, New Jersey (August 15, 2011) – Colonial Commercial Corp. (“Colonial”) (OTCQB: “CCOM,” “CCOMP”), today announced financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Sales for the three months were $20,194,697, down 6.1%, or $1,306,288, from the corresponding period in 2010. The decrease in sales was substantially related to a continuing decline in demand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning units utilized in residential new construction and the reduction of commercial hydronic and plumbing bid and specification work.

Gross profit for the three months was $5,441,288, down 2.9%, or $165,193, from the corresponding period in 2010. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales was 26.9% in the 2011 period compared to 26.1% for the corresponding period in 2010. The decline in gross profit was directly related to the loss in sales. The increase in gross margins expressed as a percentage of sales was caused by a continuing decline in commercial bid and specification work and a decline in heating, ventilating and air conditioning units sold for new construction, both of which are sold at lower than normal margin percentages.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,852,682, down 4.9%, or $250,433, from the corresponding period in 2010. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to a $60,674 reduction in payroll and benefit costs, a $293,457 reduction in rent, a $22,524 reduction in depreciation and amortization and a $44,861 reduction in office expense, offset by a $26,890 increase in facility expense and a $138,453 increase in professional fees related to property tax reassessments.

The Company’s net income for the three months was $499,069, up 61.7%, or $190,440, compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The increase in net income is primarily the result of the $250,433 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and an $88,966 decrease in interest expense, partially offset by the $165,193 decrease in gross profit.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Sales for the six months were $35,256,670, down 5.7%, or $2,142,214, from the corresponding period in 2010. The decrease in sales was substantially related to a continuation of the reduction in demand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning units utilized in residential new construction and the reduction of commercial hydronic and plumbing bid and specification work.

Gross profit for the six months was $9,619,755, down 3.1%, or $309,052, from the corresponding period in 2010. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales was 27.3% in 2011 compared to 26.5% for the comparable period in 2010. The decline in gross profit was directly related to the loss in sales. The increase in gross margins expressed as a percentage of sales was caused by a continuing decline in commercial bid and specification work and a decline in heating, ventilating and air conditioning units sold for new construction, both of which are sold at lower than normal margin percentages.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,149,124, down 3.1%, or $324,398, from the prior-year six months. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to a $106,113 reduction in payroll and benefit costs, a $322,655 reduction in rent, a $43,612 reduction in depreciation and amortization and an $83,071 reduction in office expense, offset by a $65,126 increase in facility expense and a $164,247 increase in professional fees related to property tax reassessments.

 
 

 

The Company’s net loss for the six months was $766,710, down 11.1%, or $95,434, compared to the corresponding period in 2010.  The decrease in net loss is primarily the result of the $324,398 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and a $68,151 decrease in interest expense, partially offset by the $309,052 decrease in gross profit.

William Pagano, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “Our focus on improving operating efficiencies resulted in a 16.9% increase in operating profits this quarter versus the same quarter of the prior year. We are positioned that any increase in sales should have a favorable impact on profitability in the future. Currently, the economic trends remain unclear and the competitive landscape remains difficult. However, we believe that a pent-up demand is building for the products that we sell and eventually this demand should be released for our products and services. We expect this to happen during the next 12 to 18 months.”
