American Locker Group Incorporated (Pink Sheets: ALGI) ("American Locker" or the "Company") today reported net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 of $639,000 compared to a net loss of $8,092,000 in fiscal year 2005. Net income per share was $0.41 in 2006 compared to a net loss per share of $5.25 in 2005. Net income before taxes in 2005 was negatively impacted by one time charges of $6,155,000 for impairment related to the write-down of previously recorded goodwill, and $2,329,000 for restructuring charges.
Revenues were $25,065,000 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $32,304,000 in fiscal year 2005. Revenues decreased $7,239,000 or 22.4%, due to the loss of the United States Postal Service ("USPS") contracts for polycarbonate and aluminum cluster box units ("CBU") that expired May 31, 2005. This revenue was partially offset by an 8.2% increase in sales of postal lockers to the private market.
During 2006, gross margin was 34.4% up from 26.0% in 2005. In 2005, gross margin was lower due to one-time expenses of $617,000 resulting from an increase in the reserve for inventory valuation, the write-off of $615,000 of inventory related to the termination of the Company's manufacturing agreement with Signore, and expenses associated with the cancellation of the USPS polycarbonate CBU contract.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,204,000 to $7,285,000 in 2006 compared to $8,489,000 in 2005. The decrease of approximately 14.1% in 2006 was primarily due to a reduction in personnel-related expenses as a result of the implementation of the restructuring plan, which was partially offset by an increase of $698,000 in legal, consulting and accounting fees related to the fiscal year 2005 audit.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $2,508,000 of cash on hand and working capital of $7,907,000. On March 5, 2007, the Company entered into a new credit facility with The F&M Bank and Trust Company, which was used to repay the Company's existing mortgage loan. The new credit facility consists of a $2,200,000 term loan and a $750,000 revolving line of credit. The loan bears interest at prime plus 75 basis points (0.75%). The revolving line of credit matures on March 5, 2008 and the term loan matures on March 5, 2012.
