Play It Again Sports’ parent reports increase in Q2 profit
Winmark Corp. (Nasdaq: WINA), parent of Play It Again Sports, said its second-quarter net income was $1.195 million, or $0.22 per share diluted, compared to net income of $930,500, or $0.17 per share diluted, in 2008.
“Our second-quarter performance was acceptable in light of the current economic environment,” said John Morgan, chairman and CEO, in a statement. “Our franchising and middle market leasing businesses performed well, but we have been negatively impacted by write-offs in our small business leasing portfolio. We fully expect the small business portfolio to continue to perform poorly until there is a broad recovery in the U.S. economy.”
As of June 27, the company had loans and leases equal to $44.1 million.
