FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CAVCO INDUSTRIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Sales increase 22% to $36 million
Income from continuing operations increases 73% to $1.7 million
PHOENIX, AZ -(July 22, 2004) – Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVCO) today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 ended June 30, 2004. Cavco, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is the largest producer of manufactured homes in Arizona. The company is also the largest producer of park model homes in the United States.
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 increased 22% to $35,937,000 versus $29,515,000 last year. Net income for the first quarter this year increased to $1,707,000 compared with net income of $942,000 for the same period a year ago including a proforma tax provision.
Net income per share for the first quarter this year was $0.54 based on basic weighted average shares outstanding and $0.52 per share based on diluted weighted average shares versus proforma net income per share of $0.31 for the first quarter of last year.
Pre-tax income from continuing operations for the first quarter of this year was $2,844,000 compared with $1,643,000 for the first quarter last year. After-tax income from continuing operations increased 73% to $1,707,000 or $0.54 per share versus $986,000 or $0.32 per share for the same period last year assuming a proforma income tax provision.
Commenting on the results, Joseph Stegmayer, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to begin fiscal 2005 with results that exceed the very good performance of the first quarter last year. The increase in sales is attributable to a higher incoming order rate resulting in greater manufacturing shipments, an improved product mix of larger homes with more features, and price increases. Selling prices were increased to offset significant inflation in material costs; however we could not keep pace with the rate of increases which resulted in lower gross profit margins during the quarter.”
Mr. Stegmayer continued, “Looking ahead, there are still many challenges to overcome, total industry home shipments have continued to decline for the first five months of 2004, financing is in short supply and the overall housing market is very competitive. Fortunately Arizona, our largest market, has reported modest shipment growth recently and we continue to benefit from strong housing demand in California. Cavco’s order backlogs are higher than at this time last year, which gives us reason to expect second quarter results will compare favorably to the prior year. It is difficult to predict beyond our second quarter although we do feel that Cavco is well positioned to participate as the industry’s performance improves.” Stegmayer concluded.
Commenting on the company’s financial condition, Sean Nolen, Chief Financial Officer, said, “During the first quarter, we generated approximately $2.5 million or $0.75 per share in after-tax cash flow, which further strengthened our financial condition. We concluded the first quarter with cash in excess of $34 million and no debt outstanding.”
