"We had a strong second quarter, as expected," said Allen Carlson, Sun's CEO and president. "We met our revenue estimates, came in at the top of our earnings estimates, and have quickly regained our operating leverage. We are very pleased that second quarter results included shipments to new customers in China, North America and Europe. Some of this business represents sizeable ongoing orders. In all cases, it was our efforts during last year's downturn that proved to be the foundation of securing the new business. As evidenced in our results, we are operating at a high rate of efficiency. On-time deliveries are being maintained with a small amount of overtime and, to date, we have engaged in limited hiring in key areas."
Continuing, Carlson stated, "We have the infrastructure and capability in place to meet demand. And as we have proven, we are agile and can flex with the business cycle. Above all else, we will continue to service our existing customers, work diligently to gain new ones and invest in our people and processes to ensure Sun's long-term success."
Outlook
In conclusion, Carlson commented, "Our third quarter estimates reflect normal seasonality in demand levels. We typically have a strong second quarter followed by some softening in the third quarter and 2010 is following that same pattern. We continue to demonstrate strong operating leverage on higher revenues."
Third quarter sales are expected to be $37 million, a 59% increase in revenue compared to the same period last year, and earnings are expected to be $0.32 to $0.34 per share compared to $0.03 per share in the same period of the prior year.
