CSS INDUSTRIES, INC. REPORTS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2014
CSS Industries, Inc. (NYSE:CSS) announced today its results of operations for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2014. As previously announced, the Company divested the Halloween portion of its Paper Magic Group, Inc. business during fiscal 2013. Due to the divestiture, Halloween sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 of approximately $30,914,000 were reduced to $1,366,000 in fiscal 2014.
Sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 1.8% to $54,560,000 from $53,621,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Excluding $1,569,000 of Halloween sales in the fourth quarter of the prior year, net sales increased 4.8%, primarily due to higher sales of All Occasion stationery products. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $(2,085,000), compared to $(5,308,000) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. Loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $(1,603,000), or $(0.17) per diluted share, versus $(1,985,000), or $(0.21) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was $(1,529,000), or $(0.16) per diluted share, versus $(2,401,000), or $(0.25) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Sales for full year fiscal 2014 decreased 12.0% to $320,459,000 from $364,193,000 in full year fiscal 2013. Approximately $29,548,000 of the lower sales level is due to the divestiture of the Halloween business in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, with the balance primarily due to lower sales of Christmas products and All Occasion products. Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the full year fiscal 2014 was $27,700,000, compared to $22,637,000 in the prior year. Results for full year fiscal 2013 include a pretax loss of $4,363,000 relating to the Halloween business. This loss was comprised of $2,701,000 of income from Halloween operations offset by $7,064,000 of charges incurred as a result of the divestiture. Income from continuing operations for the full year fiscal 2014 was $18,564,000, or $1.97 per diluted share, versus $15,588,000, or $1.63 per diluted share, in the prior year. Net income for full year fiscal 2014 was $18,769,000, or $1.99 per diluted share, versus $15,227,000, or $1.59 per diluted share, in the prior fiscal year. The Company's seasonal orientation has historically resulted in operating losses in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year and operating profits in the second and third quarters. Results for full year 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 twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 because it enhances comparability between the reporting periods.
