Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $42.83 million, compared to $33.97 million in the comparable period of 2014, an increase of 26%.

This is yet another quarter of strong sales and earnings growth for Cemtrex. In fact, the Company’s trailing four quarters sales is at record levels and continues to rise.

And this trend seems to continue. A couple of weeks ago, the Company announced that it had received new orders in excess of $4,200,000 across its two business groups: Environmental Products & Systems and Electronics Manufacturing Services.

The Company received approximately $2.5M in new environmental products sales with deliveries expected over the next twelve months for new projects located in Southeast Asia. In addition, the Company received approximately $1.7M in new electronics products orders for a diverse set of existing European customers in medical, industrial, and automation industries with deliveries expected over the next twelve months.

Mr. Govil said, “We are continuing to see demand in both of our important markets where there are overall economic concerns, Europe and Asia. We are confident that with our product portfolio, niche industry segments, and continued demand from our customers we can continue to grow our business despite outside market concerns.”

Conclusion

Cemtrex disclosed little information about the target company. However, knowing that it generated $47.6 million in revenues in fiscal year 2014, the potential impact of the target company is obvious.

We continue to like Cemtrex. The Company grows organically, and it’s always on the lookout for a complimentary acquisition.
