ELMWOOD PARK, N.J., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kreisler Manufacturing Corporation (Nasdaq: KRSL) announced higher sales and earnings for fiscal 2007.

    Fiscal 2007 Highlights
    -- Net Income 69% increase to $1,960,000 (Fiscal 2006: $1,163,000)
    -- EPS 65% increase in fully diluted GAAP earnings per common share of
       $1.04 (Fiscal 2006: $0.63)
    -- Net Sales 21% increase to $23,852,000 (Fiscal 2006: $19,723,000)
    -- Backlog 44% increase to $29,876,000 (Fiscal 2006: $20,800,000)

'Our 21% sales growth is indicative of the continued strong customer requirements for the engine components we manufacture,' said Kreisler CEO Michael Stern. 'We experienced double-digit sales increases in all three of our industry market areas -- commercial aircraft engines, military aircraft engine and industrial gas turbines. Our June 30, 2007 backlog of almost $30,000,000 increased 44%.'

Stern added, 'Our net income growth of 69% reflects efficiencies achieved from higher production rates. We have also benefited from lower growth in certain costs such as purchased materials as well as lower costs attributable to detail components purchased by Kreisler Industrial from Kreisler Polska. By the end of fiscal 2007 we implemented production cells for most of our U.S. manufacturing operations which we believe will streamline our processes. During fiscal 2008 our operational focus is to improve our manufacturing operations resulting in higher quality and on-time delivery.'

Stern noted that, 'Our purchases of $1,500,000 in capital equipment represented an increase of $1,000,000 compared to fiscal 2006. We expect to continue making appropriate capital equipment purchases using our own available resources as well as external sources of funding.'

The Company reported a sales increase of 21% to $23,852,000 for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to sales of $19,723,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006 . Net income increased 69% to $1,960,000 . Income from operations increased to $3,069,000 compared to the prior year income from operations of $1,875,000 , an increase of $1,194,000 or 64%. Gross margin increased to $4,954,000 compared to the prior year gross margin of $3,148,000 , an increase of $1,806,000 or 57%. The Company reported diluted earnings per share of $1.04 compared to the prior year earnings per share of $0.63 .
