Omega Flex, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2024 Earnings

EXTON, Pa., July 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dean W. Rivest, CEO, announced that net sales of Omega Flex, Inc. (the “Company”) for the first six months of 2024 and 2023 were $49,836,000 and $55,822,000, respectively, decreasing $5,986,000 or 10.7%. Net Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 4.7% lower than for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in net sales was mainly due to lower sales unit volumes as the overall market continued to be suppressed because of, among other factors, a decline in housing starts.

The Company’s net income for the first six months of 2024 was $8,715,000, compared to $10,298,000 for the first six months of 2023, decreasing $1,583,000 or 15.4%. Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was 1.3% below the same period in 2023. The decrease in net income is mainly due to the decrease in net sales and a related decrease in production, which resulted in lower absorption of factory labor and overhead costs. Factors partially offsetting the impact of the lower net sales and related decrease in production include lower raw material costs; lower executive incentive and stock based compensation; lower product liability reserves and expenses; lower marketing commissions and freight; lower provision for income taxes; and higher interest income.
