Net earnings for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, increased to $54.5 million, or $5.42 per diluted share, compared to $9.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. Net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, decreased from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 by 0.9%, to $1,275.4 million. The decrease is attributable to decreased sales volume of $11.1 million partially offset by higher selling prices/more favorable sales mix of $0.1 million.
“We are pleased that fiscal year 2016 finished on a strong note as holiday sales drove both sales and earnings in the fourth quarter. Our full year performance was also strong even after excluding one-time events as a good growing season last Summer and Fall led to a better than anticipated cost of goods sold,” stated Kraig Kayser, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Excluding a non-cash after-tax LIFO credit of $7.5 million, net earnings per diluted share was $0.63 during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, versus earnings per diluted share of $0.25 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, which included a non-cash after-tax LIFO credit of $0.1 million. Excluding a non-cash after-tax LIFO credit of $16.1 million, net earnings per diluted share were $3.82 during the year ended March 31, 2016, versus $1.54 per diluted share during the year ended March 31, 2015, which included a non-cash after-tax LIFO charge of $6.9 million.
Other operating income in 2016 included a gain of $24.3 million related to a contractual payment received in conjunction with a relationship transfer agreement with General Mills. The Company recorded a gain of $0.4 million from the sale of other fixed assets.
Other operating income in 2015 included a gain of $5.0 million related to a contractual payment received in connection with the closing of a Midwest plant and a charge of $0.3 million related to environmental costs related to a Company-owned plant in New York State.

The Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
