Benjamin Rashleger, president and chief executive officer, commented: “Our second quarter sales were led by our recreational powersports business, with an increase of 16% in the fiscal 2015 second quarter over the prior year. Fortunately, the strength in the powersports segment overcame a decline in our energy business.” Rashleger continued: “As oil prices continue to hover at historically low levels, it has impacted the demand our customers receive for their products, and their demand to WSI for the parts we supply to them. We anticipate that our energy business will continue to be soft in the coming months, and that it will remain so until the energy market has stabilized and investment returns. However, we also anticipate that our powersports business will continue to be strong, and that this strength will outweigh any decline in our energy business in the short term.” Rashleger concluded: “We continue to expand our efforts on diversifying our business. While it is our goal to add new business in other industries to offset the dominance of our powersports business, we are pleased that powersports continues its growth and that we have also been able to increase the number of programs that we supply.”
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $.04 per share. The dividend will be payable April 22, 2015 to holders of record on April 8, 2015.
