(Windsor, Ontario – June 5, 2018) – Reko International Group Inc. (TSX-V: REKO) today announced results for its third quarter ended April 30, 2018.

Consolidated sales for the quarter ended April 30, 2018, were $11.8 million, compared to $11.7 million in the prior year, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.7%. The increase in sales was related to increases in timing of program kickoffs in certain divisions.

Gross profit for the quarter ended April 30, 2018, was $1.9 million, or 16.3% of sales, compared to a gross profit of $1.9 million, or 16.5% of sales in the prior year.

Selling and administrative expenses for the quarter ended April 30, 2018 were $1.2 million, or 10.0% of sales, compared to $1.1 million, or 9.7% of sales in the prior year. The increase in SG&A relates to additional staff for expansion as well as one-time expenses associated with the new building.

Net income for the quarter ended April 30, 2018 was $0.6 million or $0.10 per share, compared to net income of $0.6 million, or $0.09 per share in the prior year. The increase in net profit and earnings per share can be attributed to a net foreign exchange gain in the latest quarter, partly offset by higher income taxes.
