Bradley T Nielson, president and chief executive officer of MITY Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq:MITY), today announced operating results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net sales for the second quarter totaled $14.1 million compared to $13.4 million a year ago, an increase of 5 percent. Net income was $1.4 million versus $1.1 million for the comparable period a year ago, an increase of 27 percent. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the recent quarter were $0.35 and $0.34, compared to the previous year's second quarter basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.27 and $0.25, an increase of 30 percent and 36 percent, respectively. Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $28.4 million compared to $25.4 million a year ago, an increase of 12 percent. Net income was up by 34 percent to $3.0 million versus $2.2 million for the comparable period a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings for the six-month period were $0.71 and $0.68, an increase of 37 and 39 percent over the previous year's six-month basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.52 and $0.49, respectively. As compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the increase in net sales reflected growth of 10 percent in the healthcare seating unit as well as 4 percent growth in the multipurpose room unit. International sales accounted for 15 percent of total sales. The increase in sales in the multipurpose room unit during the quarter was primarily attributable to growth in the education, church, and hospitality markets. "We are pleased to report another strong quarter with increases in both sales and net income," said Nielson. "We continue to take advantage of the growth opportunities in many of our markets. In addition, our gross margins have improved now that we no longer have the high level of expenses related to our discontinued table project. We are particularly encouraged by the strong market acceptance of our multipurpose room chair lines as we experienced growth in these lines of 29 percent in the quarter. We are also very excited to begin production of two new chair lines during the December quarter -- our SwiftSet Courtside(TM) folding chair and our SwiftSet HD(TM) high density stacking chair. These two new chair lines are evidence of the rapid progress we are making to broaden our product offering and meet the needs of more of our customers." "During the quarter, material costing pressures again appeared on the horizon," noted Paul R. Killpack, chief financial officer. "Although these pressures do not currently appear to be as strong as we saw over a year ago, they still will affect our margins and will likely require us to implement a price increase on our product lines. Still, we believe that strong sales growth in the short term will continue and anticipate that sales will be up during the coming quarter by as much as 10 percent as compared to last year's December quarter." The Company will host a follow-up live broadcast over the Internet to discuss the financial results at 4:30 PM Eastern Time today. The live web simulcast of the conference call will be available to the public online at www.mityinc.com or on StreetEvent's Individual Investor Center at www.streetevents.com.
