Drew Industries posts sharp 1Q loss

May

An impairment charge and a general decline in business led to a sharp first-quarter loss at Drew Industries Inc. of White Plains, a supplier of parts for manufactured homes and recreational vehicles.
The company lost $36.7 million, or $1.70 a share, on sales of $71 million. For the comparable quarter a year earlier, Drew had net income of $9.11 million, or 41 cents a share, on sales of $159.1 million.
Driving most of the loss last quarter was a non-cash charge of $29.4 million, or $1.36 a share. The company announced last month that it was taking the charge because of uncertainties in the economy in general, and in the RV and manufactured home industries.
