2007 results

 (to December 29, 2007)
Swings to a 4Q profit


Monaco reported today (February 6th, 2008) revenues and earnings for the for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 29, 2007:
  • Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $292.1 million, or 2.4% lower than the $299.2 million in revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross profit for the period was $32.1 million, up 18.6% from $27.1 million a year ago. 
  • For the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007, Monaco Coach reported revenues of $1.3 billion, level with fiscal year 2006 revenues. Gross profit for the year was $140.9 million, up 13.1% compared to $124.5 million for 2006.
  • Kay Toolson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Monaco Coach Corporation, stated, "We are very pleased with our 2007 results. The steps we have taken over the last 18 months to make the Company more efficient have significantly increased our profitability. We are committed to maintaining production levels that will produce optimal inventory levels for our dealer partners and the Company."
  • "Our Motorized RV Segment continues its strong momentum both in the marketplace and profitability. Our diesel Class A market share improved by over 10% through November, and our gasoline market share is also beginning to improve. We feel the Fed's recent interest rate cuts should help the RV market in the second half of 2008. We believe that while some RV buyers may delay their purchasing decisions when times are uncertain, they rarely leave the RV lifestyle and can be expected to return to purchase a new RV when their confidence is restored," said Toolson.
  • "The changes we made throughout our manufacturing processes, including increasing efficiencies at our sub-assembly plants, and reconfiguring and consolidating production lines, have led to better gross margins," said John Nepute, President of Monaco Coach Corporation. "Our industry-leading dealer initiative, Franchise for the Future, has aided us in increasing market share in a down market. The Company will continue to implement our proven strategy of matching our production level with wholesale and retail demand to manage the need for incentives to move products to our dealer partners."
