Sales increased 31% to $33.1 million from sales of $25.2 million in the first quarter last year. Gross margin was 33% versus 37% in the same quarter a year ago. The decline in gross margin is attributable to normal quarterly fluctuations in product mix. First quarter income from operations increased 17% to $7.5 million versus $6.4 million in the comparable year-ago quarter. Income from continuing operations increased 18% to $4.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, from $4.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share in the first quarter last year. Net income was $4.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, versus net income of $5.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the first quarter a year ago. Last year's first quarter net income included a gain from discontinued operations of $1.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, net of tax, attributable to the sale of a real estate purchase option. Explosive Metalworking First quarter sales at the company's Explosive Metalworking segment increased 30% to $31.5 million from $24.2 million in the first quarter last year. Operating income increased 13% to $7.5 million from $6.7 million in last year's first quarter. Order backlog at the end of the first quarter was $67.9 million, down slightly from the all-time high $68.8 million reported at the end of last year's fourth quarter. AMK Welding Sales at DMC's AMK Welding segment increased 60% to $1.6 million versus sales of $1.0 million in the first quarter last year. Operating income increased 144% to $264,000 versus $108,000 reported in the comparable year-ago quarter. Management Commentary Yvon Cariou, president and chief executive officer, said, "Our first quarter financial results were stronger than expected thanks to the convergence of several positive developments. Late in the quarter, we received earlier-than-anticipated deliveries of select source metals at our Mt. Braddock, Pennsylvania facility, and our team responded with a tremendous effort and many long hours to move these metals through production. In addition, we were able to utilize some of the new equipment we have been bringing on-line at Mt. Braddock as part of our capacity expansion program. "We expect that the new capacity at our U.S. facilities will be largely operational by the end of the current quarter, and we are pleased by the progress being made on the modernization of our production sites in France and Sweden," Cariou added. "Although we expect to see ongoing tightness in the metal supply chain, we remain encouraged by the continued strong demand we are experiencing from across all of our global target markets." Rick Santa, chief financial officer, said, "We previously indicated that the last three quarters of fiscal 2007 could be stronger than the first quarter, which we believed would be impacted by metal supply issues. Given our better-than-expected Q1 performance, we now believe that our second quarter results will likely be comparable to those of the first. For the full fiscal year, we are reiterating our forecast of year-over-year top-line growth in the 20 percent range."
