In July we leased approximately 50% of our office and warehouse space in the Hilti Complex to a new tenant, reducing our overall footprint and generating income from underutilized space. In August, we switched our outbound freight carrier which has reduced the average cost per shipment by approximately 20% and in September we consolidated our warehouse operations in Utah into our Tulsa facility. We will see the impact of all of these strategic changes in the upcoming quarters and beyond.\"\n\"The largest improvement in our financial performance will occur when we sell our Hilti Complex and eliminate our borrowings with our bank. On September 19th we executed a Letter of Intent to sell/lease back the Hilti Complex. The agreement excludes the 17 acres of excess land which will remain under the EDC's ownership. The proceeds from the sale, which is expected to be completed around the end of this calendar year, are expected to fully pay back the bank leaving us with no debt and we expect to have limited borrowing needs moving forward.\" \n\"Additionally, during the second quarter last year we received an Employee Retention Tax Credit totaling $3.8 million which changed the pre-tax loss for the quarter of $2.3 million to a pre-tax gain of $1.5 million.\" \n\"The results from these key changes reflect our commitment to returning to profitability for our shareholders. I would like to again thank our stakeholders for your ongoing support, including our Brand Partners, Customers, Employees, Vendors and Shareholders. Through your support, we remain steadfast in our mission to improve children's literacy,\" concluded Mr. White.\nEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONCONDENSED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)\n\n\n\n\n\nThree Months Ended August 31,\n\nSix Months EndedAugust 31, \n\n\n\n\n\n2024\n\n2023\n\n2024\n\n2023\n\n\n\nNET REVENUES\n\n$\n\n6,509,200\n\n$\n10,593,100\n\n$\n16,502,600\n\n$\n25,117,100\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nEARNINGS (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES\n\n\n\n(2,466,100\n) \n\n1,452,900\n\n\n(4,213,100\n) \n\n252,300\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nINCOME TAX EXPENSE (BENEFIT)\n\n\n\n(662,700\n) \n\n391,200\n\n\n(1,130,700\n) \n\n63,400\n\n\n\nNET EARNINGS (LOSS)\n\n$\n\n(1,803,400\n) \n$\n1,061,700\n\n$\n(3,082,400\n) \n$\n188,900\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nWEIGHTED AVERAGE NUMBER OF COMMON AND EQUIVALENT SHARES OUTSTANDING\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nBasic\n\n\n\n8,272,217\n\n\n8,269,771\n\n\n8,269,494\n\n\n8,273,910\n\n\n\nDiluted\n\n\n\n8,272,217\n\n\n8,269,771\n\n\n8,269,494\n\n\n8,283,221\n\n\n\n\nFiscal 2025 Second Quarter Earnings Call\nDate: Thursday, October 10, 2024Time: 3:30 PM CT (4:30 PM ET)Dial-in number: (800) 717-1738Conference ID: 47709\nThe conference call will be broadcast live and audio replays will be available following the event at www.edcpub.com/investors.\nAbout Educational Development Corporation (EDC)\nEDC began as a publishing company specializing in books for children.
