BRIDGEVILLE, Pa., Nov. 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc. (Nasdaq:USAP) reported today that it is correcting the results for the third quarter of 2012 previously reported on October 24, 2012. This was necessitated by the discovery of an incorrect customer invoice, for which a credit memo has now been issued.
The effect of this correction is that previously reported sales for the third quarter of 2012 were reduced by $0.9 million to $61.4 million from the $62.3 million originally reported. Accordingly, corrected operating income for the third quarter of 2012 is $4.7 million and corrected net income is $2.7 million or $0.38 per diluted share.
Related adjustments also have been made in the segment report for the Company's Universal Stainless & Alloy Products segment as well as in accounts receivable and other items on the balance sheet and cash flow statements.
The corrected financial tables for the third quarter of 2012 accompany this announcement. Investors are also advised to refer to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period, which the Company expects to file on November 9, 2012.
Chairman, President and CEO Dennis Oates stated: "We are disappointed that this adjustment was necessary and we have taken immediate action to prevent this from happening again."
