On August 12, 2024, Power Solutions International Inc (PSIX, Financial) released its 8-K filing announcing record financial results for the second quarter of 2024. The company, a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, reported a net income of $21.5 million, a 236% increase from the previous year.
Company Overview
Power Solutions International Inc is an America-based company that manufactures, distributes, and services power systems that primarily run on non-diesel fuels, including natural gas, propane, and gasoline. The company's products are designed to meet emission standards imposed by environmental regulatory bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency. Its products are distributed to a wide range of industrial original equipment manufacturers that supply equipment to sectors including power generation, oil and gas, material handling, airport ground support, agricultural, turf, construction, and irrigation. The company generates most of its sales from the United States.
Second Quarter 2024 Performance
Power Solutions International Inc (PSIX, Financial) reported a net income of $21.5 million for Q2 2024, a significant increase from $6.4 million in Q2 2023. The diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.94, surpassing the analyst estimate of $0.36. The company's gross margin also saw a notable improvement, rising to 31.8% from 22.1% in the same period last year.
Financial Achievements and Challenges
Despite a 9% decrease in sales to $110.6 million, the company achieved a gross profit increase of $8.2 million, or 31%, compared to the same period last year. This was primarily due to improved mix, pricing actions, higher operating efficiencies, and lower warranty costs. However, the decrease in sales was attributed to lower sales in the industrial and transportation end markets, partially offset by increased demand in the power systems end market.
"I am pleased to report that in the second quarter, we achieved record-breaking results with a gross margin of 31.8% and net profit of $21.5 million. Our sales performance was driven by high demand in the power systems market, offset by the decrease in sales from some of our transportation customers and the softness we observed in the industrial market," said Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer.
