  • EPS of $0.03 vs a loss of $0.01 in the prior year

“The company experienced yet another great quarter, marked by impressive financial performance and significant milestones,” stated CEO, Warren Kruger. Greystone Logistics has expanded its sales team by adding two in-house salesmen. This strategic move enables the company to enhance its sales efforts, provide personalized service, and cater to the evolving needs of its customers. While Greystone Logistics has traditionally relied on stocking and nonstock distributors to support its sales, the addition of in-house salesmen reflects the company's commitment to delivering exceptional customer service and building strong relationships. Greystone Logistics is also pleased to announce the order for a new tool for an existing customer that is under a three-year contract further strengthening Greystone's relationship with its valued customers and underscoring its dedication to adapt and provide innovative cutting-edge solutions.”

Greystone Logistic (OOTC:GLGI) ($0.78; $22.0M market cap) a manufacturer of recycled plastics reported Q3 2023 results, only via an SEC filing:

  • Sales of $13.5 million vs $22.4 million in the prior year
  • GAAP EPS of $0.01 vs $0.02 in the prior year

“Greystone continues to show improvements in its operations, stated CEO Warren Kruger. Gross profit margins demonstrate significant improvements. The company’s top line was partially impacted by a large customer providing their own raw materials and other customers delaying deliveries. We are anticipating a robust fourth quarter continuing to the next fiscal year. We believe the company is well positioned for growth as demonstrated by equity equal to approximately 40% of total assets as of February 28, 2023.”

CEO Warren Kruger recently appeared on a Planet MicroCap interview with Bobby Kraft. In the video he stated that they expect to report $65 to $70 million for the current fiscal year implying Q4 sales to be in a range of $20 to $25 million vs $21.1 million in Q4 2022.

Greystone Logistic (OOTC:GLGI) ($0.85; $24.2M market cap), a manufacturer of recycled plastic, announced a major contract win. The company announced it has begun shipping pallets for a recent $13.5 million purchase order. 

Greystone is pleased to have the opportunity to continue to provide this highly respected worldwide corporation our recycled pallets” said Warren Kruger CEO of Greystone. “The retailer’s focus on recycled pallets demonstrates a commitment to environmental, social and governance standards. Companies are looking at sustainable solutions that provide for efficiencies in storage, safety, cleanliness, and longevity of product. The cost benefit of buying 100% recycled plastic pallets versus buying wood pallets is being recognized by businesses across the world. The value proposition with recycled plastic pallets is tangible and helps the circular economy as even broken recycled pallets can be ground and used again.”

The contract value is near a full quarter's worth of revenues. However, GLGI does not disclose the expected duration or time to completion. Furthermore, it should be noted that last year a major customer reduced it’s orders, which led to a decrease in quarterly sales during the last few quarters. However, according to SEC filings, it is possible that this customer resumed its orders with GLGI. 

As it seems the market’s focus is finally shifting towards value stocks, GLGI’s P/E of only ~12 is enough reason for us to  schedule a follow up interview with management.  We have not spoken with them in several years.

Based on new orders and relationships, Greystone believes that the demand for its pallets is increasing which is primarily expected to have a positive impact on operations during the last half of the current fiscal year as well as future years.”

  • Sales of $18.3 million vs $20.9 million in the prior year
  • Adjusted EPS of $0.04 vs $0.02 in the prior year
  • Significantly reduces debt
  • Decrease in revenue for the quarter was not due to demand issues, but due to labor issues

We still believe in the long term growth opportunities for the company. Currently we feel shares are worth between $1.50 and $2.25 in the near term based on trailing EPS.

“The continuation of record-breaking sales in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2019 was expected based on the burgeoning development of our customer base”, stated CEO Warren Kruger. Kruger continued, “The number of customers with over 15% sales volume increased from two to three over the prior period. Our margins have not developed consistently with the increase in sales as front loading of costs continue to remain high. These costs include equipment, facilities, infrastructure, training, and maintenance costs. Our dedicated employees work daily to flatten out these costs, maximize production and implement cost saving initiatives.”

GLGI ($0.46) - Yesterday we highlighted the strong Q4 2017 earnings results and stated the results were via 10-K with no press release issued. This morning, GLGI issued a press release. Comments from management included:

"This past year, management has been diligent in zeroing in on reducing costs while being very aggressive paying down principal on our debt. We closed a plastics recycling facility in Sand Springs, OK, moving the equipment to Iowa for better equipment utilization, management oversight, and cost control. The company acquired two buildings with 52,000 square feet storage capacity for recycling equipment and pallets. We will continue to work hard for our shareholders and look forward to the opportunities and challenges in fiscal year 2018.

Going forward, our team will focus on automation that leverages our ability to consistently produce quality pallets while providing our employees additional tools to do their jobs. Another new machine was recently delivered with an additional machine on order. These machines are projected to be in production in September 2017 and January 2018. We anticipate steady growth in top line sales during fiscal year 2018. Additionally, our staff continues to monitor machine and mold depreciation to ensure the correct allocation of capital is available to maintain top production levels and maximize efficiencies."

Going Private News
TULSA, OK--(Marketwired - Feb 5, 2014) - Greystone Logistics, Inc. (OTCBB: GLGI) (OTCQB: GLGI),(the "Company") announced today that it will not proceed with the proposed one for ten thousand (1-10,000) reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock and a cash payment per share for resulting fractional shares equal to $0.50. The Company had previously filed a Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to vote on an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation that would authorize the proposed reverse stock split. The Company also announced today that the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company relating to the proposed reverse stock split will not be held. The primary purpose of the proposed reverse stock split was to reduce the number of holders of record of the Company's Common Stock to fewer than 300, in order for the Company to be able to terminate the registration of its Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Bill Rahhal, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, said that the cost associated with the proposed reverse stock split was the primary reason for the decision of the Company's Board of Directors to not proceed with the proposed reverse stock split, as the estimated cost of effecting the proposed reverse stock split has increased substantially since the Preliminary Proxy Statement was filed. 

Deal Flow

TULSA, OK--(Marketwired - Feb 5, 2014) - Greystone Logistics, Inc. (OTCBB: GLGI) (OTCQB: GLGI), (the "Company") announced that the Company and Greystone Manufacturing, L.L.C. ("GSM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Agreement on January 31, 2014 with International Bank of Commerce ("IBC"), pursuant to which IBC will provide the Company and GSM with a revolving line of credit of up to $2,500,000 and term loan of $9,200,000. The exact amount which can be borrowed under the revolving line of credit from time to time depends upon the amount of the borrowing base, but can in no event exceed $2,500,000. 

The revolving line of credit bears interest at the higher per annum rate of (i) the New York Prime Rate, plus 0.5%, and (ii) 4.0%. The borrowers are required to pay all interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the revolving line of credit on February 28, 2014, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter until January 31, 2016. The borrowers are required to pay the outstanding principal balance of the revolving line of credit on January 31, 2016. Any principal on the revolving line of credit that is prepaid by the borrowers may be reborrowed by the borrowers.

The term loan bears interest at 4.5% per annum. The borrowers are required to make equal payments of principal and interest in an amount sufficient to amortize the principal balance of the term loan over five years, commencing on February 28, 2014, and continuing on the last day of each month thereafter until January 31, 2019.

The revolving line of credit will be used for general working capital purposes. The term loan was used to repay the borrowers' obligations to The F&M Bank & Trust Company, to pay preferred dividends and to finance the acquisition of certain equipment.

Bill Rahhal, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, stated that these two new loans provided necessary capital to support the Company's current and future growth as well as improving the capitalization of the Company's debt. Bill Rahhal also stated "We are very excited about the new relationship with IBC Bank and look forward to working with them."

GeoBargain on the radar GLGI files a SC 13E-3 "Going Private Transaction" for $0.50 per share. We first added GLGI to our 52 week high screen on 7/17/2012 when the stock was trading at $0.17. The stock reached a high of $0.71 on April 2, 2013 or 317% higher than our first mention.  The buyout of $0.50 would translate into gains of 194%.  However, we believe the buyout price undervalues the company and we are looking at options to prevent management from making moves that ignore minority shareholder interest.

Third Quarter 2013 Results

  • For the quarter ended February 28, 2013 Greystone recorded net income of $174,215 compared to $163,798 for the same period last year.
  • Greystone recorded net income of $1,227,759 for the nine months ended February 28, 2013 on sales of $16,705,437 compared to net income of $914,939 on sales of $16,872,981 for the comparable prior period.
  • Net income available to common stockholders for the nine months was $882,998, or $0.03 per share, compared to $657,996, or $0.03 per share for the prior period.

"I am pleased with the fiscal year to date results," stated Warren Kruger , CEO. "Our core pallet business was up 4% and pallet demand remains steady. Resin sales, however, were off due to unusual weather conditions affecting sales of plastic pipe-our major market for recycled plastic. While our total sales were flat, our income before income taxes was up 15% due to the increase in pallet sales and lower operating costs. Additionally, the recognition of a tax benefit from net operating losses in the current period resulted in our net income attributable to common stockholders being up 34% over the prior period."

This press release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical facts that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including the potential sales of pallets or other possible business developments, are forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. Actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements.

Bill Rahhal, CFO, commented, "Management is emboldened by the strong quarter but temper our enthusiasm for the next two quarters based on historically slower sales of beer case goods pallets. However, demand for our keg pallet and Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) pallet continue to look good over the next six months. Additionally, one of the pelletizing lines which has been down for necessary maintenance will be placed back in service during next quarter and we may see resurgence in resin sales back to historical levels. All other product lines continue to hold steady and work also continues on promising new pallet opportunities with existing and new customers."

TULSA, Okla., Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Greystone Logistics, Inc. (OTCBB: GLGI).  Greystone Logistics announces that for the first time in corporate history the company has received an unqualified opinion from auditors on the recently filed May 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements. 

Bill Rahhal, Greystone's CFO, stated "The unqualified opinion is a reflection of the financial growth that Greystone has achieved over the past several years including sales for the corporate year ending May 31, 2012 of $24,186,047 with net income attributable to shareholders of $2,103,268 or $.08 per share. Greystone's growth is the result of the efforts of our employees and their dedication to produce innovative, top quality, 100% recycled plastic pallets and reprocessed resin for resale while providing high quality service for our valued customers. We are proud to be a "green" company utilizing recycled materials and have a very positive attitude for our future and continued financial improvement for our shareholders." 

Greystone Logistics is a "Green" manufacturing and leasing company that reprocesses and sells recycled plastic and designs, manufactures, sells and leases high-quality 100% recycled plastic pallets that provide logistical solutions needed by a wide range of industries such as food and beverage, agricultural, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical and consumer products. The Company's technology, including that used in its injection molding equipment, proprietary blend of recycled plastic resins and patented pallet designs, allows production of high-quality pallets quickly and at lower costs than many processes. The recycled plastic for its pallets helps control material costs while reducing environmental waste and provides cost advantages over users of virgin resin. Excess plastic not used in production of pallets is reprocessed for resale
