Foote Has
Increased
Earnings
Foote Mineral Com
pany reported net
earnings of 1648,000,
equsd to Oc per share,
for the second quarter of
1977 compared with
$1,489,000, or 17 cents
per share for the same
period at 1076. Sales
were $88,678,000 com
pared with $80,028 ^N) In
the 1976 quarter.
Six months net ear
nings In 1977 were
$2,068,000, or 22 cents
per common share after
payment of preferred
Indldend, compared
with $8,608,000, or 48
cents per common share
In the same period of
1076. Sales were
$66,692,000 compared to
$60,218,000 for the same
period of 1976.
W. T. Barrett,
president and chief
executive officer, said
that lower earnings
were principally a
result of continued
Increased operating
costs without equivalent
price Increases for
ferroalloys. Furnace
operating problems at
the Graham, West
Virginia plant and a
furnace transformer
failure at the Keokuk,
Iowa plant during the
second quarter also
contributed to lower
earnings.
Foote’s share of the
losses of Silicon
Smelters (Pty.)
Limited, a one-third
owned silicon metal
plant In South Africa,
amounted to $880,000 in
the second quarter and
$680,000 for the six
months. Production
rates In the second
quarter exceeded
design.--capacity -> but
depressed world prices
continue to adversely
affect Silicon Smelters*
profitability.
