WINCHESTER, Va., Aug. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- American Woodmark Corporation AMWD today announced results for its first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2016.

Net sales for the first fiscal quarter increased 12% to $258.2 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The Company experienced growth in all channels during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Net income was $21.7 million ($1.32 per diluted share) for the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $15.2 million ($0.92 per diluted share) for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The Company benefited $0.06 per diluted share from a lower tax rate in the quarter due to the adoption of a new accounting standard that requires companies to reflect the tax benefit from stock-based compensation transactions in their tax rate and earnings per share.

Gross profit for the first quarter of the current fiscal year was 23.0% of net sales compared with 21.7% in the same quarter of the prior year.  Gross profit in the current quarter was favorably impacted by higher sales volume, lower labor benefit costs and improved operating efficiency.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2017 were 10.6% of net sales compared with 11.4% in the same quarter of the prior year.  The decrease in the Company's operating expense ratio was driven by favorable leverage from increased sales, lower display costs and on-going expense control.

The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $32.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 compared with $17.7 million during the same period in the prior year.  The improvement in the Company's cash from operating activities was driven primarily by higher operating profitability and lower increases in customer receivables.  Net cash used by investing activities was $40.6 million during the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $15.3 million during the same period of the prior year due to a $35.0 million investment in certificates of deposit which was partially offset by decreased investment in property, plant and equipment.  Net cash used by financing activities of $4.3 million increased $5.4 million during the first quarter of the current fiscal year compared to the same period in the prior year as the company repurchased 72,400 shares of common stock at a cost of $5.1 million, a $3.3 million increase from the prior year, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options decreased $1.5 million.

American Woodmark Corporation manufactures and distributes kitchen cabinets and vanities for the remodeling and new home construction markets.  Its products are sold on a national basis directly to home centers, major builders and through a network of independent distributors.  The Company presently operates nine manufacturing facilities and seven service centers across the country.
