Net income for Q2 2024 rises to $3.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for Q2 2023.
Gross margin increases to 25% in Q2 2024 compared to 22% in Q1 2023.

SHELTON, CT / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2024 / The Eastern Company ("Eastern") (NASDAQ:EML), an industrial manufacturer of unique engineered solutions serving commercial transportation, logistics, and other industrial markets, today announced the results of operations for the second fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2024.
President and CEO Mark Hernandez stated, "Our second quarter results reflect some of the progress we have made in enhancing portions of our business operations over the past 18 months, although much remains to be done. Many of our initiatives have improved gross margins, increased our agility, and enhanced customer relationships. As a result, we were ready to address some specific customer needs when those customers experienced supply chain disruptions. Our ability to react quickly will lead to continuing business opportunities with those customers."
Mr. Hernandez continued, "Our overall business transformation program is proceeding, albeit methodically, while we continue to evaluate our business for long term performance and while we focus on our order backlog. At the same time, we are observing some softening in the commercial vehicle market and certain electric vehicle programs which has been negatively impacting the demand for our custom returnable packaging solutions. Much work needs to be done in our pursuit of operational excellence and strengthened customer relationships. We are striving to reach our goal of consistently delivering solid performance and creating value for our shareholders."
Second Quarter and Six Months 2024 Financial Results
Net sales in the second quarter of 2024 increased 7% to $73.2 million from $68.3 million in the corresponding period in 2023. Net sales for the first six months of 2024 increased 0.2% to $141.1 million from $140.8 million in last year's period. Sales increased in the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to increased demand for truck mirror assemblies of $8.0 million and returnable transport packaging products of $0.4 million, offset by lower demand for truck accessories of $3.6 million. In the second quarter of 2024, truck mirror assemblies volume was favorably impacted by additional orders of approximately $5.0 million from two key customers due to our operational flexibility and competitive advantages. Sales were relatively flat for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 with increased demand for truck mirror assemblies of $12.2 million offset by lower demand for truck accessories of $7.6 million and returnable transport packaging products of $4.3 million. Our backlog as of June 29, 2024 increased 43% to $107.3 million from $75.3 million as of July 1, 2023, driven by increased orders for various truck mirror assemblies and returnable transport packaging products.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 25% in the second quarter of 2024 and 24% in the first six months of 2024 compared to 22% in both the second quarter and the first six months of 2023. Our gross margins in the second quarter of 2024 primarily reflect the impact of price increases to customers to recover increases in raw material costs and other cost savings initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 2%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher payroll-related expense of $0.4 million and higher travel expenses of $0.1 million, partially offset by lower legal and professional expenses of $0.1 million, and lower selling costs of $0.2 million. Selling and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, in the first six months of 2024 when compared to the corresponding period in 2023 primarily due to lower payroll-related expenses of $0.1 million, lower legal and professional expenses of $0.3 million, and lower selling expenses of $0.1 million, partially offset by higher travel and other expenses of $0.3 million.
Other income and expense decreased $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and increased $0.4 million in the first six months of 2024 compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The decrease in other income of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by a $1.6 million favorable adjustment for the final settlement of our swap agreement with Santander Bank, N.A. ("Santander") in the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by $1.4 million expense associated with the closure of Associated Toolmakers, Ltd. in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in other income of $0.4 million for the first six months of 2024 when compared to the corresponding period in 2023 was primarily driven by $1.4 million of expense associated with the closure of Associated Toolmakers, Ltd. in the second quarter of 2023 and an unfavorable final working capital adjustment of $0.4 million related to the sale of the Greenwald business in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by a $1.6 million favorable adjustment for the final settlement of our swap agreement with Santander in the second quarter of 2023.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $3.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2023. In the first six months of 2024 net income was $5.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the comparable 2023 period.
Adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $3.5 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $2.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2023. For the six months ended June 29, 2024, adjusted net income was $5.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.76 per diluted share for the comparable 2023 period. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was $7.2 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 million for the 2023 period. For the six months ended June 29, 2024, adjusted EBITDA was $12.4 million compared to $11.5 million in the 2023 period. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below and the reconciliation table accompanying this release.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased 10,000 shares of common stock under its share repurchase program authorized in August 2023.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this press release of the Company that are not based on historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "would," "should," "could," "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "intend," "continue," "plan," "potential," "opportunities," or similar terms or variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. There are many factors that affect the Company's business and the results of its operations and that may cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or anticipated. These factors include:
the impact of higher raw material and component costs and cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and shortages, particularly with respect to steel, plastics, scrap iron, zinc, copper, and electronic components;
delays in delivery of our products to our customers;
the impact of global economic conditions and rising interest rates, and more specifically conditions in the automotive, construction, aerospace, energy, oil and gas, transportation, electronic, and general industrial markets, including the impact, length and degree of economic downturns on the customers and markets we serve and demand for our products, reductions in production levels, the availability, terms and cost of financing, including borrowings under credit arrangements or agreements, the potential impact of bank failures on our ability to access financing or capital markets, and the impact of market conditions on pension plan funded status;
restrictions on operating flexibility imposed by the agreement governing our credit facility;
risks associated with doing business overseas, including fluctuations in exchange rates and the inability to repatriate foreign cash, the impact on cost structure and on economic conditions as a result of actual and threatened increases in trade tariffs and the impact of political, economic, and social instability;
the inability to achieve the savings expected from global sourcing of materials;
lower-cost competition;
our ability to design, introduce and sell new or updated products and related components;
market acceptance of our products;
the inability to attain expected benefits from acquisitions or the inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses and achieve expected synergies;
costs and liabilities associated with environmental compliance;
the impact of climate change, natural disasters, geopolitical events, and public health crises, including pandemics (such as COVID-19) and epidemics, and any related Company or government policies or actions;
military conflict (including the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas, the possible expansion of such conflicts and geopolitical consequences) or terrorist threats and the possible responses by the U.S. and foreign governments;
failure to protect our intellectual property;
cyberattacks; and
materially adverse or unanticipated legal judgments, fines, penalties, or settlements.
The Company is also subject to other risks identified and discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the 2023 Form 10-K, and that may be identified from time to time in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other filings we make with the SEC.
Although the Company believes it has an appropriate business strategy and the resources necessary for its operations, future revenue and margin trends cannot be reliably predicted, and the Company may alter its business strategies to address changing conditions. Also, the Company makes estimates and assumptions that may materially affect reported amounts and disclosures. These relate to valuation allowances for accounts receivable and excess and obsolete inventories, accruals for pensions and other postretirement benefits (including forecasted future cost increases and returns on plan assets), provisions for depreciation (estimating useful lives), uncertain tax positions, and, on occasion, accruals for contingent losses. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, alter, or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures we provide in this release should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
To supplement the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have presented Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures in the same way. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as net sales, net income, diluted earnings per share, or other measures prescribed by U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income excluding, when incurred, gains or losses that we do not believe reflect our ongoing operations, including, for example, the impacts of impairment losses, gains/losses on the sale of subsidiaries, property and facilities, transaction expenses primarily relating to acquisitions and divestitures, factory start-up costs, factory relocation expenses, executive severance, and restructuring costs. Adjusted Net Income is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operating performance.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share is defined as earnings per share excluding, when incurred, certain per share gains or losses that we do not believe reflect our ongoing operations, including, for example, the impacts of impairment losses, gains/losses on the sale of subsidiaries, property and facilities, transaction expenses primarily relating to acquisitions and divestitures, factory start-up costs, factory relocation expenses, executive severance, and restructuring costs. We believe that Adjusted Earnings Per Share provides important comparability of underlying operational results, allowing investors and management to access operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization and excluding, when incurred, the impacts of certain losses or gains that we do not believe reflect our ongoing operations, including, for example, impairment losses, gains/losses on sale of subsidiaries, property and facilities, transaction expenses primarily relating to acquisitions and divestitures, factory start-up costs, factory relocation expenses, executive severance, and restructuring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a tool that can assist management and investors in comparing our performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our underlying operations.
Management uses such measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess our performance relative to our competitors, and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a replacement for, U.S. GAAP financial measures.
We believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures provides investors greater transparency to the information used by our management for its financial and operational decision-making. We further believe that providing this information better enables our investors to understand our operating performance and to evaluate the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.
