CAL-MAINE FOODS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2011 RESULTS
JACKSON, Miss. (March 28, 2011) ¾ Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. (NASDAQ: CALM) today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended February 26, 2011.
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were $274.7 million compared with net sales of $271.2 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company reported net income of $33.6 million, or $1.41 per basic share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with net income of $34.5 million, or $1.45 per basic share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 include in other income a one-time cash distribution of approximately $4.8 million pre-tax, or $3.2 million or $0.13 per basic share after tax, received in exchange for the Company’s non-voting stock ownership in the Eggland’s Best, Inc. cooperative. The Company retains its membership in the cooperative and this transaction does not affect its existing specialty eggs marketing agreement with Eggland’s Best, Inc.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, net sales were $699.6 million compared with net sales of $688.1 million for the prior-year period. The Company reported net income of $53.6 million, or $2.25 per basic share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared with net income of $46.8 million, or $1.97 per basic share, for the year-earlier period.
“We are pleased with our results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011,” said Dolph Baker, president and chief executive officer of Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. “While our sales and volumes showed improvement over the prior year period, our profitability was affected by higher feed costs. Demand for eggs at the retail level remained strong and specialty egg sales continued to grow, accounting for 23.5 percent of our revenues for the quarter and 17.5 percent of total dozens sold. Shell egg prices, as reflected in the Urner Barry market, were slightly lower compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2010; however, the higher volume of specialty egg sales, which carry a higher selling price, offset the drop in average market prices.
Baker continued, “Overall, the national egg supply was up slightly compared with the same period a year ago. The national chick hatch has recently been trending higher and could affect future supply levels.
“Our operations have continued to run well, however, feed costs have remained high and volatile. For the third quarter of fiscal 2011, our feed costs increased 5.7 cents per dozen eggs, reflecting higher overall grain prices, especially for corn, which are at near-record levels. We expect this trend in grain prices to continue for the remainder of fiscal 2011 and beyond.”
For the third quarter of fiscal 2011, Cal-Maine will pay a cash dividend of approximately $0.470 per share to holders of its common and Class A common stock. The amount paid could vary slightly based on the amount of outstanding shares on the record date. The dividend is payable May 12, 2011, to shareholders of record on April 27, 2011.
