For the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2012, Command Center reported total revenue of $43.36 million, an increase of 18.2% on revenue of $36.68 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2011. Net income for the six months was $281,087, or $.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $1,631,694, or ($.03) per share in the same period last year.

The company said gross profit margin improved to 24.8% and 24.6% in the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, versus 23.3% and 21.6% in the like year-ago periods. SG&A expenses were 20.8% of revenue in the second quarters of both this and the prior year, and 21.6% and 23.7% of revenue for the first six-month periods of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Workers’ compensation expense was 4.4% and 5.5% of revenue for the twenty-six weeks of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

“I am pleased by the sharp focus throughout our entire organization on improving sales, margins and profits over the past year,” said Command Center Chairman and CEO Glenn Welstad. “Strong organic sales growth at the branch level in the second quarter and first half of 2012 has been augmented by an increase in our coverage of the Bakken Region of North Dakota, as well as the increase in restoration activities of Disaster Recovery Services, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. We expect these positive trends to continue and have positioned Command Center for even stronger growth in the second half of this year and beyond.”

The company recently announced it had opened, or was in the process of opening, a total of seven new branch offices in six different states. This move is expected to accelerate its expansion and create greater visibility for the company nationwide.
