Bradley T Nielson, president and chief executive officer of MITY Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq:MITY), today announced operating results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2005. Net sales for the third quarter totaled $13.4 million compared to $11.9 million a year ago, an increase of 13 percent. Net income was $1.2 million versus $0.8 million for the comparable period a year ago, an increase of 51 percent. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the recent quarter were $0.29 and $0.28, compared to the previous year's third quarter basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.18, an increase of 61 percent and 56 percent, respectively. Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, totaled $41.8 million compared to $37.3 million a year ago, an increase of 12 percent. Net income was up 38 percent to $4.2 million versus $3.0 million for the comparable period a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period were $1.01 and $0.97, an increase of 44 and 45 percent over the previous year's nine-month basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.70 and $0.67, respectively. As compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the increase in net sales reflected a 16 percent growth in multipurpose room sales that was primarily attributable to growth in the office, public assembly, hospitality, government, education, business, and recreation markets. Multipurpose room chair sales were up by 88 percent primarily due to new product lines as well as growth of existing chair lines. For the nine-month period, international sales have increased 22 percent compared to the prior year period. "We are pleased to once again report a 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. The strong market acceptance of our multipurpose chair lines continues with help from our new chair lines, the Steelcore(TM) Chiavari ballroom chair and our DuraMax(TM) folding chair. We also see continued growth in our existing chair lines. In an effort to further broaden our product offering and meet the needs of our customers, we anticipate the introduction of two additional chair lines in the coming months as well -- the SwiftSet Courtside(TM) folding chair and the SwiftSet HD(TM) high density stacking chair. Also in an effort to further enhance our competitive advantages, we are beginning to formalize lean initiatives in our multipurpose room manufacturing facility. "In addition, we are making great progress in building the production capability of our new polyethelene fencing venture. We are actively creating the tooling and molds required to bring our equipment up to full utilization. In the mean time, we have three more beta sites currently being installed with several other fence installers patiently waiting for product availability," Nielson continued. "During the quarter, we were successful at continuing our share repurchase program by repurchasing 103,800 shares," noted Paul R. Killpack, chief financial officer. "This brings our total for the year to almost 398,000. Yesterday, at our board of directors meeting, the board increased its authorization by 150,000 shares, bringing the total authorization to 650,000. "We are pleased to see continued growth in our core business, especially our chair lines," added Killpack. "Although we face continued material cost pressures as well as freight cost increases, still we believe that our strong sales growth will continue, particularly as we expand the number of products offered. We anticipate sales will be up during the coming quarter by as much as 10 percent as compared to last year's March quarter."
