Eric Seidel, president and chief executive officer, commented, “We continue to bear down, as profitability approaches. We opted to take a one- time restructuring charge in the quarter of $127,685, which should enable us to save approximately $1.2 million yearly, going forward. Our collision repair management revenues were up 10 percent over last year’s first quarter, while our fee and other revenue increased 63 percent. We expect our fee and other revenue stream to continue to improve our operating margin in the coming quarters.”
