The current quarterly sales were weak down 17% YOY. Management believes that the negative top line results are not indicative of further weakness. Management did announce a quarterly .01 dividend and a stock buyback with 149,000 shares purchased in the first quarter. Their cash position remains strong at $6.4 million as of March 31, 2010 or 1.30 per share.
The average annual EBITDA from 2005 to 2009 was $1,626,000. The EBITDA for 2005 to 2009 was 1,430,000; 2,270,000; 1,920,000; 1,470,000 ; and 1,040,000 respectively. If the company can revert back to the average annual EBITDA from 2005 to 2009 they would report a ~14% EBITDA to enterprise value. This goal is achievable given the additional business acquisitions over the 2005 to 2009 period. The 14% EBITDA to EV and richer valuation should help move the stock significantly higher from its current price closing price of $2.85.
