FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Miami, FL November 13, 2006 DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. (AMEX:DCU) today reported operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 2006.
For the first three months of fiscal 2007, revenues increased 70.0% to $5,912,198 from $3,478,240 for the same period of last year. While these revenues were a record for any fiscal quarter, the disruption caused by Hurricane Katrina during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, affected the comparability of revenues. Net earnings increased 73.5% to $186,779 or $.03 per diluted share from $107,661 or $.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Venerando J. Indelicato, Chief Financial Officer of DRYCLEAN USA Inc., stated: We are happy to reach a new milestone in quarterly revenues and while they may not be comparable with last years revenues, they are a record for the Company. He also stated that net earnings were more comparable, as last years earnings were helped by commissions paid to the Company by manufacturers selling directly to the Companys customers.
