TULSA, OK / ACCESSWIRE / January 20, 2015 / Greystone Logistics, Inc. (OTCBB:GLGI) Greystone had gross revenue of $9,991,448 for the six months ended November 30, 2014 compared to $10,872,407 for the comparative period of the prior year. Pallet sales were $8,946,888 in the current year compared to $10,500,967 in the comparative period of the prior year.
Greystone's net income (loss) for the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2014 is $(305,379) and $(658,052), respectively, compared to $1,572,154 and $(12,724) for the corresponding periods of the prior year. Net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the six-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2014 is $(581,623), or $(0.02) per share, and $(796,121), or $(0.03) per share, respectively, compared $1,298,026, or $0.05 per share, and $(150,626), or $(0.01) per share, for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
This decline is primarily attributable to the timing of delivery of pallets to customers. A significant portion of Greystone's production costs are fixed. Total pallet sales were down 14.8% compared to the prior year same period. Because of the inflexibility of the production costs, the decrease in sales had a significant impact on the operating results.
"In the first six months of our corporate year, we saw some of our customers push back their normal expenditures for pallets," stated Warren Kruger, CEO. "I anticipate increased demand for the balance of the year which would include seasonal upward adjustments and the start of production and delivery on a significant purchase order from a wine manufacturer. Additionally, we also have two new molds being delivered over the next 60 days that should add to revenue this year. The platform for growth is in place and Greystone expects production and corresponding sales to be significantly higher for the remaining two quarters ending May 31, 2015 which will normalize production costs as a percentage of sales and produce income for our shareholders."
