NORTH PLAINS, Ore., July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. ( JCTCF) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine month periods of fiscal 2013 ended May 31, 2013.
Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled $15.05 million compared to sales of $16.11 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012. For the quarter, income from operations were $1,686,508 compared to $1,556,199 in the year-ago quarter. After other items and income taxes, the Company reported net income of $1,018,564, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $937,090, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, in last year's third quarter, after adjusting for the Company's 2 for 1 stock split effective May 2, 2013.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2013, Jewett-Cameron reported sales of $38.58 million compared to sales of $35.10 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2012. Income from operations was $3,437,952 in the current nine month period compared to income of $2,391,570 in the year-ago nine month period. The current nine month period was positively affected by the gain on sale of property of $353,852 while the year-ago nine month period was positively affected by the reversal of Litigation Reserves totaling $1,443,629. Including the one-time gains, net income for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 was $2,289,941, or $0.73 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $2,288,897, or $0.65 per basic and diluted share, in the prior nine month period, after adjustment for the 2 for 1 stock split.
"An increasing shift towards e-commerce sales of our metal products through our customer's online websites has resulted in lower costs and higher margins," said CEO Don Boone. "We also completed the 2 for 1 stock split of our common shares, and our strong cash position combined with the additional liquidity corresponds to our practice of implementing share re-purchase programs, which we believe is an effective method of enhancing shareholder value."
As of May 31st, 2013, the Company's cash position was $7.68 million, and there is currently no borrowing against its $5.0 million line of credit. During the nine months ended May 31, 2013, the company repurchased and cancelled a total of 814 common shares at a total cost of $4,884, which represents an average price of $6.00 per share. On May 29, 2013, the Company announced the implementation of a new share repurchase plan for the purchase and cancellation of up to 400,000 common shares, which represents approximately 13% of the approximately 3.1 million shares outstanding. The plan commenced on June 3, 2013, and will remain in place until August 16, 2013, but may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice.
