Larry Keener, chairman and CEO of Palm Harbor Homes, said: "The prevailing economic uncertainties and depressed housing market have continued to challenge our industry and our business in the first quarter of 2010. Palm Harbor's revenues for the quarter are indicative of the weak demand for factory-built housing products."
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 totalled USD82.4m, down from USD130m for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The operating loss was USD5.1m compared with operating income of USD0.8m in the same period last year.
The results for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 included a pre-tax gain of USD3m on the repurchase of convertible senior notes.
