AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS |
WINCHESTER, Virginia (February 27, 2017) -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2017.
Net sales for the third fiscal quarter increased 14% to $249.3 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal year increased 9% to $771.5 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in both the new construction and remodel channels during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017.
Net income was $14.6 million ($0.89 per diluted share) for the third quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $12.0 million ($0.73 per diluted share) in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was $53.9 million ($3.28 per diluted share) compared with $45.4 million ($2.76 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit for the third quarter of the current fiscal year was 20.7% of net sales compared with 20.4% in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Gross profit for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was 21.7% of net sales compared with 21.4% for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit in the current quarter was favorably impacted by higher sales volume and improved operating efficiency. Gross profit for the first nine months of the current fiscal year was favorably impacted by higher sales volume, lower labor benefit costs and improved operating efficiency.
Selling, general and administrative costs for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2017 were 12.0% of net sales compared with 11.8% in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Selling, general and administrative costs for the first nine months of the current fiscal year were 11.1% of net sales compared with 11.3% for the same period in the prior year. The Company’s expense ratio was negatively impacted in the current quarter due to increased spending on product launches and non-recurring lease exit costs. The improvement in the Company’s operating expense ratio in the first nine months of the current fiscal year was driven by favorable leverage from increased sales, lower commissions and on-going expense control.
The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $51.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2017 compared with $53.6 million during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the Company’s cash from operating activities was driven primarily by higher discretionary contributions to the Company’s pension plans, which was partially offset by higher operating profitability. Net cash used by investing activities was $51.7 million during the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared with $33.7 million during the same period of the prior year due to an increased net investment of $29.3 million in certificates of deposit, which was partially offset by decreased investment in property, plant and equipment. Net cash used by financing activities of $11.2 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 178,118 shares of common stock at a cost of $13.4 million, a $1.4 million increase from the prior year, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options decreased $5.4 million.
