Selling, general, and administrative expenses was 10.4% of revenue in Q4, up from 9.4% in the prior year. This increase arose mainly from the addition of 9 branches during 2010.

"We ended 2010 strong; both our construction and agricultural stores grew organically, and through acquisitions in the fourth quarter," said Rocky, Chief Executive Officer Brian Taschuk. "Given the current commodity prices, recent trends of economic improvement in the construction industry and the opportunity to fully realize the synergies available as a result of our recent acquisitions, we are optimistic heading into 2011.

"We acquired 12 new locations in the past year and we expect to slow down on acquisitions this year to ensure they are properly integrated and performing to our expectations," Taschuk added. "Our strong end markets, growth from past acquisitions, and improving asset utilization should add value for shareholders this year." (More at RockyMtn.com . . . )
