AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS |
WINCHESTER, Virginia (May 30, 2017) -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) today announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2017.
Net sales for the fourth fiscal quarter increased 7% to $258.7 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the full fiscal year increased 9% to $1,030.2 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in all channels during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.
Net income was $17.3 million ($1.06 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $13.4 million ($0.81 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Exclusive of after-tax non-operating charges related to corporate business development expenses in fiscal 2017 and idle land disposal in fiscal 2016, the Company generated $18.6 million ($1.13 per diluted share) of net income for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $14.2 million ($0.86 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Net income for the entire fiscal year 2017 was $71.2 million ($4.34 per diluted share) compared with $58.7 million ($3.57 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Exclusive of after-tax non-operating charges related to corporate business development expenses in fiscal 2017 and idle land disposal in fiscal 2016, the Company generated $72.9 million ($4.45 per diluted share) of net income for the entire current fiscal year compared with $59.5 million ($3.62 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year was 22.3% of net sales compared with 20.3% in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross profit for the entire current fiscal year was 21.8% of net sales compared with 21.1% for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit in the current quarter and 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 fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 were 12.1% of net sales compared with 11.1% in the same quarter of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative costs for the entire current fiscal year were 11.3% of net sales compared with 11.2% for the same period in the prior year. The Company’s expense ratio was negatively impacted in the current quarter and fiscal year by corporate business development expenses related to a potential M&A target that we ultimately decided not to pursue.
The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $77.1 million during the current fiscal year compared with $74.6 million during the same period in the prior year. The increase in the Company’s cash from operating activities was driven primarily by higher operating profitability and accrued expenses which was partially offset by higher discretionary contributions to the Company’s pension plans. Net cash used by investing activities was $53.7 million during the current fiscal year compared with $40.8 million during the same period of the prior year due to an increased net investment of $28.3 million in

certificates of deposit, which was partially offset by decreased investment in property, plant and equipment. Net cash used by financing activities of $20.8 million increased $11.9 million during the current fiscal year compared to the same period in the prior year as the company reduced long-term debt by $7.2 million and realized a $5.7 million decrease in proceeds from the exercise of stock options. This impact was partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in repurchases of common stock.
