Todd Reports Third

Successive Profitable Quarter

J.T. Gilbride, chairman of Todd Shipyards

Corporation, told the shareholders at the an- nual meeting- that he estimated profits for the first quarter ended June 30 would amount to approximately $1.9 million, equal to $1.28 per share. "This is the third successive profit- able quarter and would tend to indicate the company is entering a period of sustained profitability," he said.

Mr. Gilbride reported that work on the 17 guided missile frigates the company is con- structing for the Navy is progressing on schedule and within the target cost. The first three ships under the contracts are 55 per- cent, 50 percent and 43 percent completed, with the first vessel scheduled for delivery in January 1980.
