From Dec 2019 to Dec 2024
Span-America Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPAN) today reported its results for the second fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2017. Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were up 3% to $15.2 million compared with $14.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 rose 126% to $1.7 million compared with $758,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and benefited from a higher sales volume in the medical segment, a more profitable sales mix and a $732,000 non-recurring, after-tax gain (approximately $0.26 per diluted share) from life insurance proceeds. Net income per diluted share rose 121% to $0.62 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with $0.28 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
Second Quarter Results
Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were $15.2 million compared with $14.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The sales increase came entirely from our medical segment and was partly offset by a sales decline in our custom products segment. Sales in the medical segment increased by 18% to $12.9 million compared with $11.0 million in the second quarter last year. Sales in the custom products segment were down by 41% to $2.3 million in the second quarter of this year compared with $3.9 million in the second quarter last year. Operating income increased by 21% to $1.4 million in the second quarter this year compared with $1.2 million in the same quarter last year due to higher sales volume in the medical segment and a more profitable sales mix during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the same quarter last year.
Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 increased by 126% to $1.7 million compared with $758,000 in the second quarter of last year. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 included a $732,000 non-recurring, after-tax gain (approximately $0.26 per diluted share) from life insurance proceeds. There was no comparable gain in the prior year. Earnings per share increased 121% in the second quarter to $0.62 per diluted share compared with $0.28 per diluted share in the second quarter last year. The increases in net income and earnings per share were the result of higher sales volume in the medical segment, a more profitable sales mix and the non-recurring gain from life insurance proceeds.
Medical Segment – Total medical sales were $12.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, an 18% increase compared with $11.0 million in the second quarter last year. The increase in medical sales came primarily from our medical beds and therapeutic support surface product lines. Span-Canada sales increased by 59% to $3.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with $2.3 million in the same quarter last year. Span-Canada benefited from higher sales volume related to the provincial budget year-end in March. Second quarter sales also included several significant orders from our traditional long-term care customer base as well as from our customers in the government and export markets.
Sales of pressure management product lines increased by 7% to $9.3 million compared with $8.7 million in the second quarter last year. Sales of therapeutic support surfaces increased by 7% to $6.7 million compared with $6.3 million in the second quarter last year. Sales of all other pressure management product lines as a group increased by 7% to $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with $2.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Sales were up in all of our major pressure management product lines in the second quarter except Selan®, which decreased by 3%.
Custom Products Segment – Total custom products sales were down by 41% to $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with $3.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Consumer bedding sales make up the larger part of the custom products segment and were down by 57% to $1.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with $2.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in consumer sales in the second quarter was due entirely to the loss of our consumer business with Sinomax, which we announced in April 2016, following Sinomax’s decision to in-source the manufacturing of these products after opening its first manufacturing facility located in the U.S. Sales to Sinomax were approximately $1.9 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year.
Sales from our industrial product lines, included within the custom products segment, increased by 6% to $1.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with $977,000 in the same quarter last year. Most of our industrial sales growth in the second quarter came from customers in the packaging market.
Earnings – Total gross profit level increased 13% to $5.9 million compared with $5.2 million in the second quarter last year. The gross margin percentage also increased to 38.5% compared with 34.9% in the same quarter last year. The increases in gross profit level and margin were the result of a large shift in sales mix to the higher-margin medical segment from the custom products segment due to strong growth in medical sales combined with a decrease in consumer sales.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by 4% to $2.7 million compared with $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. R&D expenses increased by 3% to $283,000 due to normal quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in our product development costs in the medical segment. Administrative expenses increased by 27% to $1.4 million due to higher professional fees (approximately $114,000) associated with the recently announced proposed acquisition of Span-America by Savaria Corporation.
Operating income rose 21% in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 to $1.4 million compared with $1.2 million in the same quarter last year and benefited from higher sales volume in the medical segment and a more profitable sales mix during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the same quarter last year.
Net non-operating income rose to $737,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with a net non-operating loss of $53,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. As previously announced on February 2, 2017, the Company realized a gain of $732,000 from life insurance proceeds as a result of the death of Span-America founder and former CEO, Don Spann. The gain from the insurance proceeds contributed approximately $0.26 per diluted share after taxes to second quarter earnings.
Net income for the second quarter increased by 126% to $1.7 million compared with $758,000 in the second quarter last year. Earnings per diluted share rose 121% to $0.62 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with $0.28 in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The increases in net income and earnings per share were the result of higher sales volume in the medical segment, a more profitable sales mix and the non-recurring gain from life insurance proceeds. Excluding the gain from life insurance proceeds, diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 would have been $0.35 per share, a 25% increase compared with $0.28 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
Year-to-Date Results
For the first half of fiscal 2017, total sales were down 16% to $30.4 million compared with $36.3 million in fiscal 2016. The decrease in sales came entirely from the custom products segment and was caused by two events. First, we had a $6.1 million seasonal promotion of consumer products that took place in the first half of fiscal 2016 and was not repeated in the first half of fiscal 2017. Second, we lost our consumer business with Sinomax, as announced in April 2016 and described above, following Sinomax’s decision to in-source the manufacturing of these products after opening its first manufacturing facility located in the U.S. last year.
First half fiscal 2017 sales in the medical segment increased by 14% to $25.4 million compared with $22.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2016. Most of the year-to-date increase in medical sales came from Span-Canada, where sales of our medical beds and related products were up 35% to $6.7 million compared with $5.0 million in the first half of fiscal 2016. Sales within our pressure management product lines increased by 8% during the first half of fiscal 2017 to $18.8 million compared with $17.4 million in the first half of fiscal 2016. Within this product group, sales of therapeutic support surfaces increased by 10%, and sales of all other pressure management product lines increased by 3%.
Custom products sales decreased by 64% in the first half of fiscal 2017 to $5.0 million compared with $13.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2016. Consumer sales decreased 76% in the first half of fiscal 2017 to $2.9 million compared with $12.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2016. The decrease in consumer sales came entirely from the loss of the Sinomax business and the seasonal promotion as described above. Sales of our industrial products, included in the custom products segment, were up 11% to $2.1 million in the first half of fiscal 2017 compared with $1.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2016.
Operating income for the first half of fiscal 2017 increased by 3% to $2.8 million compared with $2.7 million in the first half of fiscal 2016. The increase was the result of higher medical sales volume and a more profitable sales mix during the first half of fiscal 2017 compared with the same period in fiscal 2016.
Net non-operating income rose to $771,000 in the first half of fiscal 2017 compared with $55,000 in the first half of fiscal 2016. The increase was due primarily to the gain from life insurance proceeds of $732,000, or approximately $0.26 per diluted share after taxes.
Net income for the first half of fiscal 2017 rose by 41% to $2.7 million compared with $1.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2016. Earnings per share increased by 41% to $0.97 per diluted share in the first half of fiscal 2017 compared with $0.69 per diluted share during the same period last year. The increase in earnings for the first half of fiscal 2017 was mainly the result of higher medical sales volume, a more profitable sales mix and the gain from life insurance proceeds.
