EXPRESS-1 EXPEDITED SOLUTIONS (AMEX:XPO) CONTINUES DRIVING
MOMENTUM FOR SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE QUARTER
REVENUES UP 25%; OPERATING INCOME UP 43%
BUCHANAN,
Mich. August 9, 2007 Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc. today reported higher
revenues and operating income for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2007.
Express-1, one of the nations top providers of ground expedited services for the automotive,
manufacturing, logistics, service, and other industries, reported a 24.5% increase in revenue in
the second quarter of 2007. Revenues increased to $13.8 million compared to $11.1 million in the
second quarter of 2006. During the same period, income from operations (income before income tax
provision) increased by 42.8% to $1,211,000 versus $848,000 for the same period in 2006.
The Companys net income was $754,000 or $0.03 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007
compared to $848,000 or $0.03 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2006. The decline is
related the provision for current taxes during the 2007 period. The Company did not record a
current provision for taxes during the second quarter of 2006, and estimates its net operating loss
carry-forwards (NOLs) have been reduced to approximately $6.3 million as of June 30, 2007. At the
start of 2007, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $8.3 million,
which are reduced by current taxable earnings. The Company does not anticipate paying a significant
amount of cash for income taxes until its net operating losses are exhausted.
Express-1 continues to build on its success, and now has completed seven consecutive quarters with
growth. Were gaining market share as reflected by our increases in revenue, and remain focused on
our earnings, as shown by our income from operations. Our fleet of independent contractors, or
value providers (VPs) as we call them, has steadily increased and we are focused on giving them
more miles and enhancing their quality life, said Michael Welch, the Companys Chief Executive
Officer. Jeff Curry, the Companys President stated, within our primary operating segment we
increased our revenues while delivering strong margins for the quarter. We remain focused on cost
containment and successfully controlled our SG&A increases in relation to our top-line growth.
Capacity improved with our average fleet of VPs increasing by 36% during the period. Mr. Welch
added, At the same time, our Evansville segment showed a small increase in revenue during the
period. Evansville remains profitable and contributed to our overall results for the period. We
remain focused on pushing our momentum as we head into the second half of 2007.
Chief Financial Officer Mark Patterson said, The Company is clearly demonstrating the operating
leverage weve spoken of in the past. Our income from operations grew at a much greater rate than
that for our revenues during the period. Were committed to this model, cautious about overhead
increases and careful in our spending. Our reliance on a variable cost model and the use of VPs
continued to support favorable margins. We recognized a gross margin of 25.4% for the second
quarter of 2007 versus 25.7% in the same quarter last year. Were pleased with these results and
proud of the commitment of our team.
Outlook
Looking ahead to 2007, we continue to be focused on adding to our fleet capacity and on further
developing of our customer base. These are two of the primary keys of our successful organic
growth, Welch said. We want to be one of the largest and the most reliable of the ground
expediters in the country. Were confident in our business model and believe that by remaining
conservative and goal-focused in our approach we will be able to continue delivering strong results
in revenue growth and profitability.
