Companies mentioned in this article: McRae Industries, Inc.

MOUNT GILEAD, N.C., Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- McRae Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MRINA and MRINB) reported consolidated net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 of $24,864,000 as compared to $20,195,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 amounted to $1,943,000, or $0.87 per diluted Class A common share as compared to net earnings of $1,379,000, or $0.63 per diluted Class A common share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2013 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2012

Consolidated net revenues totaled $24.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $20.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Sales related to our western/lifestyle boot products for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled $18.5 million as compared to $14.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as demand for these products remained strong. Revenues from our work boot products grew approximately 3%, from $6.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to $6.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The increased demand for these footwear products resulted primarily from an improved economy and the commencement of two military boot contracts with the U. S. Government.

Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 amounted to approximately $7.9 million as compared to $6.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The growth in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in net revenues. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues inched up from 31.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to 31.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as product pricing continued to stay ahead of rising product costs.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses totaled approximately $4.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to $4.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This increase in SG&A expenses resulted primarily from increased expenditures for sales related compensation, travel expenses, administrative salaries, health insurance costs and employee benefit costs, which were partially offset by reduced expenditures for office rentals, sales promotional costs, and professional fees.

As a result of the above, the consolidated operating profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 amounted to $3.1 million as compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Our financial condition remained strong at October 27, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.1 million as compared to $12.9 million at July 28, 2012. Our working capital amounted to $39.7 million at October 27, 2012 as compared to $38.9 million at July 28, 2012.

We currently have two lines of credit with a bank totaling $6.75 million, all of which was fully available at October 27, 2012. One credit line totaling $1.75 million (which is restricted to one hundred percent of the outstanding receivables due from the Government) expires in January 2014. The $5.0 million line of credit, which also expires in January 2014, is secured by the inventory and accounts receivable of our Dan Post Boot Company subsidiary.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available credit lines will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2013.

Net cash used by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 amounted to $2.4 million. Net earnings, as adjusted for depreciation, contributed approximately $2.1 million of cash. Accounts and notes receivable used approximately $5.5 million of cash as strong first quarter sales, primarily attributable to the western and work boot business, outpaced customer payments. Increased inventory levels primarily associated with material purchases to support our two new Government contracts used approximately $1.2 million of cash. The timing of payments for inventory purchases and employee benefits provided approximately $1.3 million of cash. The payment of accrued sales commissions used approximately $280,000 of cash. The timing of income tax payments provided approximately $1.1 million of cash.

Net cash used by investing activities totaled approximately $1.2 million. Investment in "held to maturity securities" used approximately $1.05 million while capital expenditures, primarily for manufacturing, office, phone and computer equipment, used approximately $142,000.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $197,000, which was used for dividend payments and to repurchase Company stock.
