Dynamic Materials 2Q sales slide 7 percent

BOULDER – Dynamic Materials Corp. (Nasdaq: BOOM) saw second quarter sales slide 7 percent versus the same period a year ago, though they climbed 12 percent over the first quarter of this year.

DMC released its earnings report for the period ending June 30, showing $53.6 million in second quarter revenue, down from $57.9 million last year. Net income also declined, sliding from $3.4 million last year to $2.9 million, or 21 cents per share, this year.

Its NobelClad segment makes explosion-welded clad metal plates for making equipment in various industries. Its Oilfield Products segment consists of DynaEnergetics, a maker of advanced explosive components and systems for perforating oil and gas wells, and AMK Technical Services, which specializes in the welding of components for the oil, turbine and jet-engine industries.
