Natural Alternatives International, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter Net Income of $0.16 Per Diluted Share and 21.4% Increase in Annual Profit on 8.3% Revenue Increase

    SAN MARCOS, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Natural
Alternatives International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading
formulator, manufacturer and marketer of customized nutritional
supplements, today announced fourth quarter net income of $1.2 million or
$0.16 per diluted share on revenues of $34.2 million and net income of $2.7
million or $0.39 per diluted share for the fiscal year.
    Fourth quarter revenue increased 38.5% to $34.2 million from $24.7
million for the comparable quarter last year. Income before income taxes
increased to $1.7 million from $640,000 in the comparable quarter last
year. Net income increased to $1.2 million or $0.16 per diluted share from
$285,000 or $0.04 per diluted share for the comparable quarter last year.
    For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, net income increased 21.4% to
$2.7 million or $0.39 per diluted share from $2.2 million or $0.34 per
diluted share in the prior year. Revenue increased 8.3% to $99.1 million
from $91.5 million in the prior year.
    As of June 30, 2006, NAI had cash and working capital of $2.2 million
and $13.2 million, respectively, compared to $1.9 million and $14.4
million, respectively, in the prior year. As of June 30, 2006, we had $2.3
million available under our working capital line of credit.
    President Randell Weaver stated, "We are pleased to report our fifth
consecutive year of increased revenue and operating profits. We are
particularly pleased to report record quarterly revenue of $34.2 million in
the fourth quarter. Of that amount, $9.0 million represents initial
shipments of a single product for a new customer. The fourth quarter
revenue for this product should not be considered representative of our
ongoing business level for this product as it includes initial inventory
supplies for the customer. We look forward to benefiting from this new
relationship, as well as the historically strong and reliable relationships
we have cultivated with our existing customers. We also anticipate
continuing to invest in expanding and marketing our existing Direct to
Consumer brands as well as our brands we recently acquired through the
acquisition of Real Health Laboratories (RHL)."
    CEO Mark LeDoux added, "We are pleased to begin realizing operational
benefits from the acquisition of RHL. Following the integration of
previously outsourced fulfillment activities during the third quarter, we
initiated the integration of call center activities for our Dr. Cherry
Pathway to Healing(R) product line into RHL's existing operation. We expect
the call center integration to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal
2007."
