芝加哥，伊利諾伊州 - 2024年10月23日 - tootsie roll industries，Inc.的董事長Ellen R. Gordon報告了2024年第三季度和前9個月的淨銷售額和淨收益。

​

2024年第三季度淨銷售額爲2,238,910,000美元，而2023年第三季度爲2,483,360,000美元，減少了24,445,000美元，或10%。2024年第三季度的淨收入爲32,844,000美元，而2023年第三季度爲34,382,000美元，每股淨收益分別爲0.46美元和0.48美元，在2024年第三季度和2023年減少了0.02美元每股或4%。

​

2024年前9個月的淨銷售額爲5,241,740,000美元，而2023年前9個月爲5,678,840,000美元，減少了43,710,000美元，或8%。2024年前9個月的淨收益爲64,318,000美元，而2023年前9個月爲62,509,000美元，每股淨收益分別爲0.90美元和0.87美元，在2024年前9個月和2023年增加了0.03美元每股或3%。

​

Mrs. Gordon said, “We continue to face a challenging market in third quarter and nine months 2024 as customers and consumers became more resistant to higher price realization. Third quarter and nine months 2024 sales were adversely affected by the timing of sales between third and fourth quarter 2024 when compared to the prior year comparative periods.

​

Third quarter and nine months 2024 gross profit margins benefited from higher price realization and improvements in plant manufacturing operating efficiencies. However, lower sales volumes adversely affected our results in third quarter and nine months 2024 because much of our plant overhead costs, and certain other costs and operating expenses, do not decrease with lower sales.

​

In response to increases in input costs in recent years, many companies in the consumer products industry have increased selling prices. We have implemented price increases as well during this period with the objective of improving sales price realization in order to recover our margin declines. We made progress in restoring our margins in 2023 and continue to do so in 2024. Cocoa and chocolate costs have moved significantly higher in the markets this year, and we expect these increases to continue to have some adverse effects on our input costs and margins in fourth quarter 2024 and 2025. Although the Company continues to monitor its input costs, we are mindful of the effects and limits when passing on the above-discussed higher input costs to our customers as well as the final consumers of our products.

​

Third quarter and nine months 2024 net earnings benefited from increased investment income from the Company’s investments in marketable securities, higher leasing revenue from the leasing of certain real estate to third parties, and more favorable foreign exchange. The Company’s effective income tax rates were 22.6% and 23.9% in third quarter 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 22.4% and 24.1% in nine months 2024 and 2023,

每股收益分別得益於在過去十二個月內通過在開放市場購買股票，導致2024年第三季度和九個月的未已流通股數較2023年對應時期減少。

​

我們專注於長期發展，因此繼續對工廠製造業進行投資，以滿足新的消費者和客戶產品需求，實現產品質量改進，擴大某些產品線的產能，並提高運營效率，從而爲消費者提供真正的價值。
