Business News

LANCASTER, PA — Burnham Holdings, Inc. (OTC-Pink: BURCA) has announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2024, showcasing a robust performance marked by increased net sales and improved earnings. The company reported net sales of $64.7 million, reflecting an 8.3% increase compared to the same period in 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, net sales reached $176.1 million, up from $171.4 million in the previous year.

The company faced challenges with its gross profit margin, which stood at 19.3% for the third quarter, down from 20.5% in 2023. Year-to-date figures showed a slight decline to 21.6% from 22.0% last year, primarily due to product mix issues and temporary inefficiencies.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses saw a rise, increasing by $1.4 million for the quarter and $2.0 million year-to-date, largely driven by uninsured litigation settlements. However, when adjusted for these impacts, SG&A as a percentage of sales improved to 15.6% from 17.1% in the previous year.

Adjusted net income for the quarter more than doubled to $1.7 million from $0.8 million last year. Likewise, adjusted diluted earnings per share increased to $0.37 from $0.17, and $1.18 year-to-date compared to $1.03 in 2023.

Product sales reflected varied performance, with residential sales up by 2.2% for the quarter but down 5.1% year-to-date. In contrast, commercial product sales surged by 20.8% for the quarter and 13.0% year-to-date. The service and rentals sectors contributed $1.8 million for the quarter and $6.3 million year-to-date.
