(NASDAQ-AAON) In the quarter, revenues reached a record level, $47,733,000, up 16.4% from $41,003,000 during the corresponding period in 2003, and net income decreased 58.0% to $1,527,000 or $0.12 per share compared to $3,635,000 or $0.27 per share for the same period a year ago. Norman H. Asbjornson, President and CEO, stated that, "due to further increases in material costs during the third quarter, recent product price increases did not yield the anticipated margin improvement and additional product price increases will be necessary. It is unclear what impact further product price increases will have on sales volume in the future." Net sales for the first nine months of 2004 were up 15.5%, $128,246,000, compared to $111,081,000 in 2003, whereas earnings were down 48.2% from $10,487,000 or $0.79 per share, to $5,435,000 or $0.42 per share. All per share earnings are on a diluted basis. Mr. Asbjornson said, "sales in the third quarter, together with the Company's current backlog, will produce record second half of 2004 and yearly sales; however, due to ongoing material cost increases, earnings in the second half of 2004 will only approximate earnings in the first half of the year." Certain statements in this news release may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. Statements regarding future prospects and developments are based upon current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
