AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

WINCHESTER, Virginia (February 25, 2016) -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2016.

Net sales for the third fiscal quarter increased 16% to $218.6 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year increased 14% to $706.1 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in all channels during the third quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Net income was $12.0 million ($0.73 per diluted share) for the third quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $7.3 million ($0.45 per diluted share) for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal year 2016 was $45.4 million ($2.76 per diluted share) compared with $24.2 million ($1.52 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit for the third quarter of the current fiscal year was 20.4% of net sales compared with 18.6% in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross profit for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was 21.4% of net sales compared with 17.7% for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit in the current quarter and the first nine months of the current fiscal year was favorably impacted by higher sales volume and improved operating efficiency.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016 were 11.8% of net sales compared with 12.8% in the same quarter of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative costs for the first nine months of the current fiscal year were 11.3% of net sales compared with 11.7% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in the Company’s operating expense ratio in the current quarter and the first nine months of the current fiscal year was driven by favorable leverage from increased sales and on-going expense control.

The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $50.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2016 compared with $36.0 million during the same period in the prior year. The improvement in the Company’s cash from operating activities was driven primarily by higher operating profitability, which was partially offset by higher customer receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses consistent with higher sales. Net cash used by investing activities was $33.7 million during the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with $43.5 million during the same period of the prior year due to a $24.5 million reduced investment in certificates of deposit, which was partially offset by increased investment in promotional displays and property, plant and equipment of $14.7 million. Net cash used by financing activities of $2.1 million increased $6.4 million during the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared to the same period in the prior year as the company repurchased 176,343 shares of common stock at a cost of $12.0 million, a $6.9 million increase from the prior year.
