Medical Action Industries Reports Second Quarter 2013 Results
BRENTWOOD, N.Y., Oct. 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medical Action Industries Inc. (Nasdaq:MDCI), a leading supplier of medical and surgical disposable products, today reported results for the fiscal 2013 second quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Chief Executive Officer and President, Paul D. Meringolo said, "We continue to focus on delivering exceptional service and value to our customers. In addition, we have embarked on a multi-pronged effort to improve our internal operations and management effectiveness. Net sales have increased from the comparable prior year period. Relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and first quarter of fiscal 2013, we achieved gains in operating income and net income. Our recent realignment of the business into strategic business units has increased focus on targeted market segments and we have been working diligently to create action plans centered on improving profit and containing costs. While we still have a significant amount of work ahead of us, I am extremely pleased with the opportunities provided by these realignments and action plans."
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $112.1 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 2.2%, compared to $109.7 million in net sales reported for the comparable prior year period. Excluding professional expenses related to our renegotiated credit agreement, the Company generated adjusted net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.6 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, reported for the comparable prior year period. Without this adjustment, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.1 million or $0.00 per basic and diluted share. When compared to the comparable prior year period, the results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were favorably impacted by $0.8 million in lower net material costs, primary resin. Finally, the reported results for the prior year period included an extraordinary gain of $0.4 million due to an insurance settlement related to inventories damaged as a result of weather-related water damage.
Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2012 were $224.3 million, an increase of $8.2 million or 3.8%, compared to $216.1 million in net sales reported for the comparable prior year period. Excluding professional expenses related to our renegotiated credit agreement, the Company generated adjusted net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.8 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, reported for the comparable prior year period. Without this adjustment, the Company incurred a net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2012 of $0.1 million or $0.00 per basic and diluted share. When compared to the comparable prior year period, the results for the six months ended September 30, 2013 were not impacted by fluctuations in material costs. As previously mentioned, the reported results for the prior year period included an extraordinary gain.
