Preformed Line Products Q3 EPS $1.54 Down From $3.03 YoY, Sales $147M Down From $160.4M YoY

Preformed Line Products Company (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/plpc#NASDAQ">PLPC</a>) reported challenging second-quarter 2024 results, with significant declines in both earnings and revenues from the prior-year period. The company faced headwinds from reduced spending in the communications end market and unfavorable foreign currency translations.
Despite lower sales, PLPC managed to control operating costs. The company remains focused on cost reduction and strategic investments to navigate the current market conditions.
The following analysis delves into the detailed financial metrics and strategic developments that have contributed to the company&#39;s quarterly results.

Preformed Line Products Company price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Preformed Line Products Company Quote
</div>
<h3>Q2 Results</h3>
Preformed Line Products reported a second-quarter 2024 earnings per share of $1.89, significantly declining from the $4.08 reported in the year-ago quarter.
Total quarterly revenues of $138.7 million for second-quarter 2024 marked a 14% decrease from $181.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.
The weak quarterly results are primarily attributed to a continued slowdown in spending in the communications end market. Additionally, foreign currency translation negatively impacted the quarterly results.
<h3>Profitability</h3>
Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $9.4 million, down 54% from the $20.5 million reported in the second quarter of 2023. The significant decrease in net income was mainly due to the lower gross profit resulting from decreased sales levels. However, this was partially offset by reductions in period expenses, interest expenses and income tax expenses.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $44.3 million, down 33.2% from the $66.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased by 460 basis points to 31.9% in the second quarter of 2024 from the prior-year quarter. This reduction is a direct consequence of the lower sales volume and the adverse impacts of reduced spending in the communications end market.
<h3>Operating Costs</h3>
Total operating costs for the second quarter of 2024 decreased to $32.98 million from $38.18 million in the second quarter of 2023. Selling costs decreased to $11.93 million from $13.01 million in the previous year.
General and administrative costs slipped year over year to $15.25 million from $18.22 million. Research and engineering costs slightly declined to $5.36 million from $5.76 million. The decrease in these expenses reflects the company&#39;s ongoing efforts to streamline operations and control costs amid reduced sales volumes.
<h3>Liquidity</h3>
As of Jun 30, 2024, PLPC&#39;s liquidity position included $47.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, marking a dip from $53.6 million at the end of 2023.
The company&#39;s debt profile comprised $2.8 million in the current portion of long-term debt, with an additional $28.8 million in long-term debt (excluding the current portion).
<h3>Management Guidance</h3>
The company remains optimistic about the market&#39;s prospects and continues to invest in product development, streamline manufacturing operations and expand its customer service portfolio. These actions are expected to position the company well for favorable market conditions.
<h3>Other Developments</h3>
PLPC highlighted the continuation of cost-reduction activities initiated in 2023, which have helped maintain financial stability during the market slowdown. These efforts include streamlining manufacturing operations and investing in product development.

Stable Payouts, Increasing Performance: Preformed Line Products Supports Investors with Growing Earnings

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Preformed Line Products (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLPC#NASDAQ">PLPC</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 20 cents per share. On Thursday, Preformed Line Products will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 20 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own PLPC as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 20 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 19, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Overview Of Value Stocks In The Industrials Sector

Preformed Line Products Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLPC#NASDAQ">PLPC</a>) today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Dennis F. McKenna as Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2024. Mr. McKenna assumes the role from Robert G.&nbsp;Ruhlman, who has served as CEO since 2000 and who will become Executive Chairman of the company.
Dennis McKenna is a long-standing employee of PLP, joining the company's ranks in 1993 and steadily progressing through various leadership roles over his impressive thirty-year career. Most recently, Dennis served as the company's Chief Operating Officer, where he oversaw PLP's global operations and business development teams.
As CEO, Dennis will help lead a company that has experienced multiple years of consistent growth and will focus on continuing to expand the company's global sales, engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Earlier this year, in May, J. Ryan Ruhlman was named President of the company and will concentrate on driving PLP's business development objectives, marketing strategies and people-centric goals.
&nbsp;"PLP's Board of Directors couldn't be more pleased with the appointment of Dennis as PLP's 4th CEO in the company's 76-year history," said Rob Ruhlman, current CEO and future Executive Chairman. "I am especially proud and fortunate that someone like Dennis, who has spent thirty years with the company, has risen through the ranks to become our next Chief Executive Officer – an incredible validation of the emphasis we place on employee retention and development."
"It's an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve as CEO of PLP," said McKenna.

Preformed Line Products shares are trading higher following Q1 results.

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Preformed Line Products (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLPC#NASDAQ">PLPC</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 20 cents per share. On Friday, Preformed Line Products will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 20 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own PLPC as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 20 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on April 20, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
