Janel World Trade Ltd. Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2012 Results
Company Continues Investment in Higher Margin Vertically Integrated Food Division
(firmenpresse) - JAMAICA, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/12 -- Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTCBB: JLWT), a full-service global provider of integrated transportation logistics and vertically integrated supply chain services in the food industry, announced today the financial results for its three months ending December 31, 2011.
For the three months ending December 31, 2011, Janel reported revenue of $23,585,132 a decrease of $2,848,862 or down 10.8% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010.
For the three months ending December 31, 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $(246,912) or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, compared to the prior year reported net income of $8,570, or $0.00 per fully diluted share.
"The results were disappointing for the quarter ended December 31, 2011," said James N. Jannello, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer. We experienced weaker than expected freight volumes from our top customers within our transportation logistics segment when compared to the prior year and within our food industry segment (which began in April 2011) we incurred a $226,221 operating loss primarily the result of the payment and charge against revenue of $190,900 of slotting fees for the positioning of retail store shelf space in order to place product on the shelves of two major supermarket chains.
Jannello continued, "Looking ahead, we expect improvement in our financial results for fiscal 2012 within our transportation logistics business segment as the economy improves and we plan to continue the expansion of our new operating division focused on vertical supply chain services. During fiscal 2011 we invested $400,000 in our New Jersey operation and constructed a 15,000 square foot walk/drive-in freezer for our traditional freight forwarding and logistics business. The construction was completed at the end of January 2012 and we expect this new warehouse revenue, with higher gross profit margins, to kick in during the March 2012 quarter."
Jannello concluded, "We are focused on significantly improving the results of our core logistics business and moving ahead with the expansion of our new operating division catering to the food industry. We will not be satisfied until we return our core business to profitability and realize the attractive gross profit margins that we expect from our food distribution network."
