DUBUQUE, Iowa - Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLXS) today reported net sales of $386 million, a 10% increase for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 compared to $352 million in the prior fiscal year. Net income increased to $13.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the highest ever reported by the Company, from $13.1 million in the prior fiscal year. The current year includes executive transition costs of $1.3 million.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2013 net sales were $102 million, a 9% increase over prior year quarter net sales of $94 million. Net income for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
Residential net sales were $311 million in the current fiscal year, an increase of 13% from the prior fiscal year sales of $275 million. The residential net sales increase of $36 million was primarily due to growth from existing customers and products, and expansion of product portfolio and customer base. Commercial net sales were $75 million in the current fiscal year compared to $77 million in the prior fiscal year.
Residential net sales were $82 million in the current quarter, an increase of 10% from the prior year quarter of $75 million reflecting growth from existing customers and products, and expansion of product portfolio and customer base. Commercial net sales were $20 million in the current year quarter compared to $19 million in the prior year quarter.
Gross margin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was 23.4% compared to 24.2% for the prior fiscal year. During fiscal year 2013, the Company's expenses related to workers compensation and health insurance programs were approximately $1.5 million or 0.4% of net sales higher than fiscal 2012. Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was 23.3% compared to 25.3% in the prior year quarter. For the quarter the gross margin percentage change is primarily due to changes in product and customer mix, and increased workers compensation insurance expenses.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 were 18.2% of net sales compared to 18.4% in the prior fiscal year. The current year includes executive transition costs of $1.3 million or $0.11 per share. Excluding these costs, primarily incurred through the third quarter, SG&A was 17.8% of net sales for the current year. SG&A expenses were 17.0% and 18.1% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The improvement for the quarter reflects better absorption of indirect costs on higher sales volume.
During the fiscal year and quarter ended June 30, 2013, the number of outstanding fully diluted shares increased by 318,126 and 211,836, respectively. This is a result of shares issued on the exercise of stock options and the impact of a 23% stock trading price increase on the outstanding options.
Based on the above factors, earnings per share were $1.80 and $1.86 per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $0.57 per share and $0.61 per share, respectively. All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at June 30, 2013 was $113.7 million compared to $103.7 million at June 30, 2012. Significant changes in working capital from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013 included increases in inventories of $9.7 million, other current assets of $4.4 million and accounts receivable of $2.5 million. The increases were offset by a decrease in cash of $3.0 million, increased other current liabilities of $2.7 and increased accounts payable of $1.0 million. The higher inventory levels support the increases in residential sales volume and expanded product offerings.
The decrease in cash of $3.0 million during fiscal year 2013 reflects net cash provided by operating activities of $5.9 million offset by capital expenditures of $6.2 million, including $2.7 million to complete the $11.8 million corporate office building, and payment of dividends totaling $4.2 million. The Company expects that capital expenditures for fiscal year 2014 will be approximately $4.5 million, primarily for manufacturing, delivery and information technology equipment.
Outlook
The Company believes that moderate top line growth will continue through the end of calendar year 2013. Residential growth is expected to continue with existing customers and products, and through expanding our product portfolio and customer base. The Company expects this growth to be led by increased demand for upholstered products. The Company expects demand for its commercial products to remain at current levels into the second half of the calendar year. The Company is confident in its ability to take advantage of market opportunities.
The Company remains committed to its core strategies, which include a wide range of quality product offerings and price points to the residential and commercial markets, combined with a conservative approach to business. We will maintain our focus on a strong balance sheet through emphasis on cash flow and increasing profitability. We believe these core strategies are in the best interest of our shareholders.
