American Woodmark Corporation announces fourth quarter results

June 02, 2016

WINCHESTER, Va., June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) today announced results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2016.

Net sales for the fourth fiscal quarter increased 16% to $240.9 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Net sales for the full fiscal year increased 15% to $947.0 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The Company experienced growth in all channels during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Net income was $13.4 million ($0.81 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $11.3 million ($0.69 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Exclusive of after-tax non-operating charges related to idle land disposal of $0.8 million ($0.05 per diluted share), the Company generated $14.2 million ($0.86 per diluted share) of net income for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $11.3 million ($0.69 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Net income for the entire fiscal year 2016 was $58.7 million ($3.57 per diluted share) compared with $35.5 million ($2.21 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Exclusive of after-tax non-operating charges related to idle land disposal of $0.8 million ($0.05 per diluted share), the Company generated $59.5 million ($3.62 per diluted share) of net income for the entire current fiscal year compared with $35.5 million ($2.21 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year was 20.3% of net sales compared with 20.9% in the same quarter of the prior year.  Gross profit for the entire current fiscal year was 21.1% of net sales compared with 18.5% for the same period in the prior year.  Gross profit in the current quarter was unfavorably impacted by higher labor benefit costs and higher depreciation costs related to the previously announced plant expansion.  Gross profit for the current fiscal year was favorably impacted by higher sales volume and improved operating efficiency.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 were 11.1% of net sales compared with 12.4% 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 11.9% for the same period in the prior year.  The improvement in the Company's operating expense ratio in the current quarter and 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 $71.8 million during fiscal year 2016 compared with $58.7 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.  Net cash used by investing activities was $40.8 million during the fiscal year compared with $56.6 million during the same period of the prior year due to a $27.0 million reduced investment in certificates of deposit, which was partially offset by increased investment in promotional displays and property, plant and equipment of $10.7 million.  Net cash used by financing activities of $6.1 million increased $17.8 million during the fiscal year compared to the same period in the prior year as the company repurchased 243,143 shares of common stock at a cost of $16.6 million, an $11.5 million increase from the prior year, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options decreased $6.2 million.

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets.  Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and through a network of independent distributors.  The Company presently operates nine manufacturing facilities and seven service centers across the country.
