ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2016 -- Transcat, Inc. (NASDAQ:TRNS) (“Transcat” or the “Company”), a leading provider of accredited calibration, repair, inspection and laboratory instrument services and value-added distributor of professional grade handheld test, measurement and control instrumentation, today reported financial results for its fiscal year 2017 (“fiscal 2017”) second quarter, which ended September 24, 2016.
Lee D. Rudow, President and CEO, commented, “We are building momentum in fiscal 2017 as demonstrated by our solid results for the second quarter. Our Service segment continues to show steady progress with revenue growth from both organic initiatives, particularly related to life sciences, and recent acquisitions. We expect Service segment margins to improve over time as our actions to integrate recent acquisitions and capture operational synergies take hold. We are pleased with the positive traction in Distribution as that segment’s revenue improved 15%. We benefited from incremental used equipment sales and rental business from our April 2016 acquisition of Excalibur Engineering, Inc. (“Excalibur”) as well as from traditional Transcat customers, particularly from the alternative energy space.”
