ELMA, N.Y.

Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVT) reported an approximate 17% increase in revenue to $8,171,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to $6,990,000 for the same period of 2014. The increase in revenue is the result of increases in commercial shipments at both the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and Consumer Products Group (CPG). Net income was $2,771,000 (or $1.27 per share Basic and $1.23 Diluted) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to a net loss of $145,000 (or $(0.07) per share Basic and $(0.06) Diluted) for the comparable period ended March 31, 2014. The $2,916,000 increase in net income is a result of a pre-tax insurance settlement of $4,500,000 related to a previously disclosed arbitration award.

On April 7, 2015, the Company received a Certificate of Occupancy for the CPG’s newly constructed manufacturing facility. “With over half of the $4,000,000 investment being complete, we are excited to be producing in the new building. While we are acutely aware of the challenges that lie ahead, we intend to capitalize on the potential for increased operational efficiencies,” stated Kenneth D. Trbovich, President of both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products Groups.

The Company is composed of two groups – the ATG and the CPG. The ATG primarily designs, develops and manufactures servo controls and other components for various commercial and government applications (i.e., aircraft, jet engines, missiles, manufacturing equipment, etc.). The CPG designs and manufactures cutlery, bayonets, pocket knives, machetes and combat knives, survival, sporting, agricultural knives and other edged products for both commercial and government applications.
