Highlight of Business Operations:Our net income includes bargain purchase gains, net of deferred taxes, of $3.4 million and $0.2 million for fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, as a result of our acquisitions of EMT and Telogy, respectively. Our operating profit modestly decreased, as growth in our rental revenues and sales of new equipment were offset by lower used equipment sales and an increase in depreciation expense of $5.7 million, or 12.0%, as we have invested in additional rental equipment to support our growth, and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $6.5 million, or 11.4%, primarily related to the broadening and strengthening of our sales organization in support of our resale channel, higher rental demand, and future growth opportunities.

Total Revenues: Total revenues for fiscal 2012 and 2011 were $248.6 million and $228.7 million, respectively. The 8.7% increase in total revenues was due to a 9.9% increase in rental and lease revenues and a 7.4% increase in sales of equipment and other revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11.4% to $64.0 million in fiscal 2012 compared to $57.4 million in fiscal 2011. As a percentage of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased modestly to 25.7% in fiscal 2012 from 25.1% in fiscal 2011. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the broadening and strengthening of our sales organization in support of our resale channel and higher rental demand.

Total Revenues: Total revenues for fiscal 2011 and 2010 were $228.7 million and $145.9 million, respectively. The 56.8% increase in total revenues was due to a 25.3% increase in rental and lease revenues and a 114.2% increase in sales of equipment and other revenues.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
