CSS Industries, Inc. Reports Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2013
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 27, 2014--CSS Industries, Inc. (NYSE:CSS) announced today its results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013. As previously announced, the Company divested the Halloween portion of its Paper Magic Group, Inc. business during fiscal 2013. Halloween sales in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 totaled approximately $1,415,000 and $29,345,000, respectively. Due to the divestiture, this level of sales did not recur in fiscal 2014. The Company’s fiscal year ends on March 31. References to a particular fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, “fiscal 2014” refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased to $106,295,000 from $116,020,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Approximately $1,299,000 of the lower sales level is due to the divestiture of the Halloween business as discussed above, with the balance of the lower sales level primarily due to lower sales of Christmas products and narrow woven ribbon. Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $16,316,000 compared to $17,019,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Income from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was $10,988,000, or $1.18 per diluted share, versus $11,600,000, or $1.21 per diluted share, in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, including discontinued operations, was $11,007,000, or $1.18 per diluted share, versus $11,611,000, or $1.22 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Results for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 include income from Halloween operations and charges incurred as a result of the divestiture as detailed in the charts below.

Management believes that presentation of results of operations adjusted for the affects of the disposition of the Halloween product line provides useful information to investors with respect to the Company’s operating results for the three- and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 because it enhances comparability between the reporting periods.
