Quaker Chemical announces record sales for 2006

28 Feb '07
3 min read

Fourth Quarter 2006 Summary:
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $115.5 million, up 8% from $107.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. Foreign exchange rate translation increased revenues by approximately 3% for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to the same period in 2005.

The remaining increase in net sales was attributable to a combination of higher sales prices and volume growth. Volume growth was mainly attributable to market share growth and increased demand in China partially offset by some softness in our other markets. Selling price increases were broadly implemented across all regions and market segments to offset significantly higher raw material costs.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 32.3% for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to 30.2% for the fourth quarter of 2005. Higher selling prices and a stronger performance from the Company's CMS channel helped improve margins, as mineral oil prices stabilized during the fourth quarter.

Sequentially, the fourth quarter 2006 gross margin as a percentage of sales represents an improvement over the first, second and third quarter 2006 gross margin percentages of 29.6%, 30.4% and 31.6%, respectively.
