Quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to quarter ended December 31, 2011
Total revenues increased 24.0% to $572.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $461.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of the assets of Micro, revenue growth in the United States was 16.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Revenues from the acquisition of Micro, which was acquired on October 31, 2011, were $28.7 million during the month of October 2012. Revenue growth in the United Kingdom was 24.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, consisting of 21.7% organic growth and an increase of 2.5% related to foreign currency exchange. Commissions increased 16.3% to $4.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Commissions increased primarily due to an incentive received during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that was not earned during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, partially offset by a decrease in gross billings from agency contracts due to a manufacturer’s products not being available.
Gross profit increased by 23.1% to $76.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $62.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 13.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to 13.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 due to a decrease in product margin, partially offset by an improvement in freight as a percentage of total revenues. Vendor rebates for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 increased by approximately $2,910,000 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to the growth in revenues and timing of manufacturer programs.
Operating income increased 26.4% to $27.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $21.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. SG&A expenses increased 22.0% to $47.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $38.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 8.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to 8.4% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefit costs and Micro expenses for the month of October 2012.
Net income increased 26.9% to $16.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $13.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $1.32 and $1.05 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of 25.7%.
As of December 31, 2012, we had $52.6 million outstanding on our credit facilities after acquiring PCI Animal Health for approximately $17 million. We generated cash from operations of $15.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Business Outlook
The Company estimates that for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, revenues will be from $2.310 billion to $2.360 billion, which represents growth of 11.3% to 13.7% compared to revenues in fiscal year 2012. The Company estimates that diluted earnings per share will be from $4.73 to $4.87 per share, which represents growth of 11.8% to 15.1% compared to diluted earnings per share in fiscal year 2012. The Company’s previous guidance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 was revenues from $2.285 billion to $2.335 billion and diluted earnings per share of $4.66 to $4.80. These estimates are based on the Company’s current calendar-year and quarterly vendor contracts which typically undergo annual renegotiation and which may include terms such as rebates, commissions and exclusivity requirements.

Certain statements contained herein that are not descriptions of historical facts are "forward-looking" statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of the factors that will determine the Company's future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's views only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking information include the impact of vendor consolidation on our business; changes in or availability of vendor contracts or rebate programs; exclusivity requirements with certain vendors that may prohibit us from distributing competing products manufactured by other vendors or margin reductions if we become a non-exclusive distributor; transitional challenges associated with acquisitions, including the failure to achieve anticipated synergies; vendor rebates based upon attaining certain growth goals; changes in the way vendors introduce/deliver products to market; a disruption caused by adverse weather (i.e. drought) or other natural conditions or disasters; possible changes in the use of feed additives (antibiotics, growth promotants) used in the production animal markets due to trade restrictions, consumer concern and/or government regulations; seasonality; unforeseen litigation; risks associated with our international operations; financial risks associated with acquisitions and investments; the impact of general economic trends on our business; the recall of a significant product by one of our vendors; extended shortage or backorder of a significant product by one of our vendors; the timing and effectiveness of marketing programs or price changes offered by our vendors; the timing of the introduction of new products and services by our vendors; our intellectual property rights may be inadequate to protect our business; the ability to borrow on our credit line, extend the terms of our credit line or obtain alternative financing on favorable terms or at all; risks from potential increases in variable interest rates; the impact of tightening credit standards and/or access to credit on behalf of our customers and suppliers; inability to ship products to the customer as a result of technological or shipping disruptions; and competition. Other factors include changes in the rate of inflation; changes in state or federal legislation or regulation; the continued safety of the products the Company sells; and changes in the general economy. Investors should also be aware that while we do, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against our policy to disclose any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that we agree with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report.
