EXTON, Pa., Oct. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omega Flex, Inc. (Nasdaq: OFLX ) today announced its third quarter financial results. Kevin R. Hoben, President and CEO , announced that the Company had Net Sales of $55,262,000 through the first nine months of 2013, compared to $45,590,000 in 2012, increasing $9,672,000, or 21.2%. Net Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013, increased $3,202,000, or 19.1% over the same quarter in 2012.
The Company's Net Sales have been boosted by the improved residential construction market, and by gains in market share from competing products, such as black iron pipe.
The Company's Net Income for the first nine months of 2013 was $6,826,000. During the same period last year the Company had Net Income of $6,102,000, which was strengthened by a one-time insurance legal recovery (ILR) gain of $4,700,000, as previously disclosed. Excluding that item (and related items such as income taxes on the ILR), the Company recognized an improvement in Net Income for the first nine months of 2013 of over 90% compared to last year. For the quarter, Net Income exceeded last year by 58.9%.
While the third quarter of 2013 showed strong financial performance, as noted above, the Company experienced some strong non-financial results as well. The Company announced that it had won two lightning subrogation jury verdicts during the quarter, and also unveiled a newly developed fitting, AutoSnap®, which reflects the Company's continued commitment to innovation.
