Omega Flex (OFLX) reported declining financial results for Q3 2024. Net sales decreased by 10.3% to $74.7 million for the first nine months of 2024, compared to $83.3 million in 2023. Third-quarter net sales fell 9.5% year-over-year. Net income dropped 16% to $13.3 million for the nine-month period, with Q3 net income declining 17.2% compared to 2023. The company attributed these decreases to lower sales volumes amid suppressed market conditions and declining housing starts. Higher overhead expenses from newly leased facilities impacted profitability, though lower raw material costs helped partially offset the decline.

Omega Flex (OFLX) ha riportato risultati finanziari in calo per il terzo trimestre del 2024. Le vendite nette sono diminuite del 10,3% a 74,7 milioni di dollari per i primi nove mesi del 2024, rispetto a 83,3 milioni di dollari nel 2023. Le vendite nette del terzo trimestre sono scese del 9,5% rispetto all'anno precedente. Il reddito netto è calato del 16% a 13,3 milioni di dollari per il periodo di nove mesi, con una diminuzione del reddito netto del Q3 del 17,2% rispetto al 2023. L'azienda ha attribuito queste diminuzioni a volumi di vendita inferiori in un contesto di mercato sfavorevole e all'abbassamento delle nuove costruzioni. L'aumento delle spese generali dovute a strutture appena affittate ha inciso sulla redditività, sebbene i costi inferiori delle materie prime abbiano parzialmente compensato il declino.

Omega Flex (OFLX) reportó resultados financieros decrecientes para el tercer trimestre de 2024. Las ventas netas disminuyeron un 10.3% a 74.7 millones de dólares durante los primeros nueve meses de 2024, en comparación con 83.3 millones de dólares en 2023. Las ventas netas del tercer trimestre cayeron un 9.5% interanual. La utilidad neta se redujo un 16% a 13.3 millones de dólares para el período de nueve meses, con una caída del 17.2% en la utilidad neta del Q3 en comparación con 2023. La compañía atribuyó estas disminuciones a volúmenes de ventas más bajos en medio de condiciones de mercado deprimidas y una caída en el inicio de construcciones. Los mayores gastos generales de las instalaciones recientemente alquiladas impactaron la rentabilidad, aunque el descenso en los costos de las materias primas ayudó a compensar parcialmente la disminución.

오메가 플렉스 (OFLX)는 2024년 3분기 재무 결과가 감소했다고 보고했습니다. 2024년 첫 아홉 달 동안 순매출은 10.3% 감소한 7470만 달러로, 2023년의 8330만 달러와 비교됩니다. 3분기 순매출은 작년 대비 9.5% 감소했습니다. 9개월 동안의 순이익은 16% 감소한 1330만 달러이며, Q3의 순이익 또한 2023년 대비 17.2% 하락했습니다. 이 회사는 이러한 감소를 시장이 침체된 가운데 판매량 감소와 주택 착공의 감소에 기인한다고 설명했습니다. 새로 임대된 시설에서 발생한 높은 간접비는 수익성에 영향을 미쳤으나, 원자재 비용의 감소가 부분적으로 감소를 상쇄했습니다.

Omega Flex (OFLX) a signalé une baisse de ses résultats financiers pour le troisième trimestre 2024. Les ventes nettes ont diminué de 10,3 % pour atteindre 74,7 millions de dollars au cours des neuf premiers mois de 2024, contre 83,3 millions de dollars en 2023. Les ventes nettes du troisième trimestre ont chuté de 9,5 % par rapport à l'année précédente. Le bénéfice net a baissé de 16 % pour s'établir à 13,3 millions de dollars pour la période de neuf mois, le bénéfice net du T3 ayant diminué de 17,2 % par rapport à 2023. L'entreprise a attribué ces baisses à des volumes de ventes réduits dans un contexte de marché difficile et à une baisse des mises en chantier. Des frais généraux plus élevés dus à des installations récemment louées ont eu un impact sur la rentabilité, bien que la baisse des coûts des matières premières ait partiellement atténué la diminution.

Omega Flex (OFLX) meldete sinkende Finanzergebnisse für das dritte Quartal 2024. Der Nettoumsatz fiel um 10,3 % auf 74,7 Millionen Dollar in den ersten neun Monaten des Jahres 2024, verglichen mit 83,3 Millionen Dollar im Jahr 2023. Der Nettoumsatz im dritten Quartal sank im Jahresvergleich um 9,5 %. Der Nettogewinn fiel um 16 % auf 13,3 Millionen Dollar für den Neunmonatszeitraum, wobei der Nettogewinn des Q3 im Vergleich zu 2023 um 17,2 % zurückging. Das Unternehmen führte diese Rückgänge auf niedrigere Verkaufszahlen in einem schwachen Marktumfeld und den Rückgang bei Baustarts zurück. Höhere Gemeinkosten durch neu angemietete Einrichtungen beeinflussten die Rentabilität, während sinkende Rohstoffkosten teilweise zur Milderung des Rückgangs beitrugen.

Insights

The Q3 2024 results show concerning downward trends, with $24.88M in quarterly revenue marking a 9.5% decline year-over-year. Net income dropped more sharply at 17.2%, with EPS falling to $0.46 from $0.55. The housing market slowdown is directly impacting sales volumes, while operational inefficiencies from lower production levels are squeezing margins. The combination of reduced factory utilization and higher overhead costs from new facilities presents a challenging operational environment. While lower raw material costs provided some relief, they weren't enough to offset the broader headwinds. The 10.3% year-to-date revenue decline and 16% drop in net income suggest this isn't a temporary dip but rather a more sustained market adjustment that could persist into 2024.

EXTON, Pa., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dean W. Rivest, CEO, announced that net sales of Omega Flex, Inc. (the “Company”) for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 were $74,716,000 and $83,318,000, respectively, decreasing $8,602,000 or 10.3%. Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were 9.5% lower than for the third 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 nine months of 2024 was $13,332,000, compared to $15,874,000 for the first nine months of 2023, decreasing $2,542,000 or 16.0%. Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was 17.2% 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. Higher overhead expenses, mainly due to newly leased facilities, also contributed to the decrease in net income, and lower raw material costs were among the factors mitigating the decrease.
