SAN MARCOS, Calif., Sept. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --Natural Alternatives
International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading formulator and
manufacturer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced record
revenue for fiscal 2005 of $91.5 million, the highest level in the company's
25 year history. Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was $2.2
million, or $0.34 per diluted share.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, revenue increased 16% to $91.5
million from $78.5 million in the prior year. The growth in revenue resulted
primarily from a 22% increase in contract manufacturing sales. Income before
income taxes increased 13% to $3.4 million from $3.0 million in the prior
year. Net income decreased to $2.2 million or $0.34 per diluted share
compared to $3.0 million or $0.48 per diluted share in the prior year
primarily due to recognition of a tax benefit in the prior year.
NAI also reported record revenue for its fourth quarter ended June 30,
2005. Fourth quarter revenue increased 6% to $24.7 million from $23.3 million
for the comparable quarter last year. Revenue growth resulted primarily from
an 8% increase in contract manufacturing sales. Income before income taxes
decreased to $640,000 from $955,000 in the comparable quarter last year. Net
income decreased to $285,000 or $0.04 per diluted share from $1.0 million or
$0.15 per diluted share for the comparable quarter last year partially due to
an increase in tax expense of $402,000 related to the prior year recognition
of a tax benefit and current year dividend repatriation tax expense.
As of June 30, 2005, NAI had cash and working capital of $1.9 million and
$14.4 million, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 were $2.5 million. During fiscal 2005, we
invested $7.7 million in capital expenditures primarily for the expansion of
our Vista, California manufacturing facility, and the acquisition of
additional manufacturing equipment. We funded our capital expenditures from
available cash on hand. As of June 30, 2005, we had $7.7 million available
under our working capital line of credit.
CEO Mark LeDoux commented, "We are pleased to report our fourth
consecutive year of increased revenue and operating profits. This past year
we believe we improved our competitive positioning and fortified our
sustainable growth plans with several accomplishments:
* Completed our Vista production facility expansion to 162,000 square
feet.
* Obtained recertification of our Good Manufacturing Practices by the
Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia (TGA).
* Extended our business relationship with NSA.
* Reduced our debt 18% or $832,000 while funding $7.7 million of capital
expenditures from available cash on hand."
President Randell Weaver added, "We are pleased with our 16% growth in
2005 annual revenue. We are also delighted our revenue has grown by an average
compound growth rate of 21% over the last four years. Looking forward, we
expect our trend of annual revenue growth to continue. We anticipate quarterly
revenue fluctuations due to, among other things, the timing of customer orders
that are impacted by marketing programs, supply chain management, entry into
new markets and new product introductions. We anticipate revenue in the first
quarter of fiscal 2006 will be lower than our recent fourth quarter due to the
timing of customer orders."
"We also expect our long-term trend of growth in annual profitability to
continue, however, there may be periodic quarterly declines in profitability
due to revenue fluctuations, regulatory compliance costs and investments in
new marketing, brand development and channel diversification initiatives.
Regulatory compliance costs related to our TGA recertification are largely
complete. Additionally, during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, we
restructured our regulatory compliance, quality assurance and product
development departments to be more responsive to customer demands and more
competitive in the marketplace. Looking forward, in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 we expect an improvement in gross margin percentage and lower
regulatory compliance costs that are expected to be offset by an increase in
brand development costs."
