Natrol, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTOL), a premier manufacturer and marketer of nationally branded nutritional products, today reported its fiscal first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2007. For the first quarter, the Company reported that net sales increased 10.5% to $18.7 million versus $16.9 million a year ago; diluted earnings per share for the first quarter were $0.02 versus $0.01 in the first quarter of last year. Wayne Bos, Natrol’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to have begun this year with another successful quarter. We have continued to see gains in our operating profitability, revenue growth, and improvements in our operating cash flow. At the same time, we have continued to invest in a variety of growth initiatives to build our future.” The Company noted that its first quarter gross profit margin improved to 47.0% from 40.7% in the prior year. This improvement was driven primarily by a better mix of high-margin sales, predominantly due to the inclusion of the NuHair®, Shen Min®, and Promensil® businesses. Gross margin also benefited from continued improvements in manufacturing efficiency. Selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales rose slightly, to 43.0% from 40.8% in the prior year, primarily due to planned increases in its sales and marketing activity. The Company reported first quarter operating income of $744,000, a margin of 4.0%, versus a small operating loss in the year-ago quarter and noted that pre-tax income rose to $555,000 versus the year-ago level of $118,000. First quarter net income increased to $340,000 versus just $73,000 in the same quarter of 2006. Mr. Bos continued, “We are pleased by our progress, but remain intently focused on implementing strategies to continue growth and further improve our profitability. Shortly after the close of the first quarter, we successfully executed a sale and leaseback of our real estate properties which netted approximately $12.0 million in cash. It is our intent to use this capital to fund new growth initiatives.” Mr. Bos concluded, “We will continue to instill a culture of operating discipline and growth throughout our organization. We believe that Natrol has a compelling opportunity within the global marketplace for nutritional supplements. We intend to take full advantage of the global wellness trend to maximize returns for our shareholders.” About Natrol – Nourishing the Potential of Mind and Body™ Natrol, Inc.
