LITTLE ROCK, AR--(Marketwire - March 25, 2010) - DAC Technologies (
Net sales for 2009 were $14,680,709 as compared to $17,042,361 for 2008, a decrease of $2,361,652 or 14%. This decrease in sales came from the Company's decision not to manufacture low gross margin products, primarily fireplace equipment and game processing items, but instead to concentrate on its core business of gun cleaning and firearm accessories including gun locks. Non-core items accounted for $4,842,192 in gross revenue in 2008 with very little if any profit margins. The Company's core business of gun cleaning and firearm accessories increased in 2009 to $12,547,920 in gross revenues as compared to $10,060,248 in 2008. This is an increase of $2,487,672 or a 25% increase in core business sales.
David A. Collins, Chairman and CEO, noted, "Although our net sales declined, our core business increased substantially along with substantial increases in net profits, operating profits, gross margins and earnings per share. The company has also opened an office in Bentonville, AR and a distribution center in Los Angeles, CA to better serve Wal-Mart and all of our customers. The company is looking forward to a good 2010, especially in the 3rd and 4th quarter as we have new products going into most all of our customers, including Wal-Mart and Cabelas."
In addition, the Company will be filing its annual 10K Report, including audited financial statements, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no later than March 31, 2010.
