TX Holdings Reports First Quarter Results for 2021 Fiscal Year

ASHLAND, Ky., Feb. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TX Holdings, Inc. (OTC Markets PINK: TXHG), a supplier of mining and rail products to the U.S. coal mining industry, today announced financial results for its first quarter 2021 fiscal year.  During the 2021 first quarter, the company reported annual revenue of $882,386, a 50.0% increase when compared to the same period the prior year. Net income for the first fiscal quarter of 2021 was $75,189, an income increase of $133,534, when compared to a net loss of $58,345 for the prior year first quarter fiscal.

Mr. Shrewsbury, the company’s CEO and Chairman, stated that:

“Our 12/31/2020 first quarter fiscal was an appreciable improvement over the same period the prior year. Having experienced previous period of lower demand for our mine and rail products, primarily due to a decline in the U.S. coal mining industry, we are encouraged by our improved operational results driven by an increase in product demand during the first quarter of the current fiscal year, when we experienced a 50.0% revenue increase over the same period the prior year.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), estimates that total U.S. coal production decreased by 24% to 537 million short tons in 2020. This decline largely reflected lower demand for coal from the electric power sector and the coal export market. Lower natural gas prices made coal less competitive for power generation. In 2021, EIA expects coal production to increase by 12% to 603 million short tons because of a forecast 41% increase in natural gas prices for electric generators, making coal more competitive in the electric power sector. EIA forecasts coal production will rise to 628 million short tons in 2022.
