AmeraMex International Reports Profitable Year End


CHICO, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 11, 2013) - AmeraMex International, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AMMX), a provider of heavy equipment to infrastructure, shipping, construction and farming companies, today reported financial results for its financial year ended December 31, 2012.

The company reported revenue of approximately $3.4 million with gross profit of $2.5 million compared to revenue of approximately $5.2 million with gross profit of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Gross profit margins, as a percentage of revenue, were 74 percent, a significant increase when compared to gross profit margins of 42 percent for the comparable 2011 year. Improved margins are due in part to product mix and the company's trucking operation.

The company reported a net income for the year of approximately $.276 million compared to net loss of $.132 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This is due in part to a decrease in SG&A expenses and depreciation as equipment was sold directly out of inventory. 

AmeraMex CEO Lee Hamre commented, "We have discussed a number of potential projects over the past several months and will provide an update on the following projects during tomorrow's conference call."

Project Update:

  • Agreement between AmeraMex and U.S.-based Westrail to construct and repair railway system in Northern Africa 
  • SEC Audit
  • Transportation contract
  • Additional contracts in American Samoa
  • Opportunities in Peru and Central America
  • Order pipeline - international and U.S.
  • Opportunities in Niger
  • Opportunities within the Commodities Division
