AEP Industries Inc earnings reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2011

AEP Industries Inc earnings reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 : Packaging company AEP Industries Inc. said Friday its fiscal third-quarter profit fell 33 percent, as higher costs and interest expense offset an increase in sales.

Sales rose 20 percent to $246.4 million from $204.9 million, on an increase in sales volumes coupled with higher selling prices mainly stemming from the pass through of higher resin costs.

Operating expenses rose 12 percent to $26.4 million, while interest expense rose 33 percent to $5.1 million as a result of higher interest rates, the company said.
