EAGAN, Minn.-- Norcraft Companies, L.P. (Norcraft) today reports financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
First Quarter of Fiscal 2012 Compared with First Quarter of Fiscal 2011
Net sales increased $3.7 million, or 5.7%, from $64.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 to $67.9 million for the same quarter of 2012. Income from operations increased $0.5 million, or 11.7%, from $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 to $4.7 million for the same quarter of 2012. Net loss increased $1.3 million from $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 to $2.5 million for the same quarter of 2012.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure and defined in the attached table) was $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $7.6 million for the same quarter of 2011.
"We are pleased with our results in the first quarter as we grew sales and profit more than expected. However, we anticipate the balance of 2012 will be very challenging in the highly competitive cabinet industry where consumers are continuing to be cautious about big- ticket purchases. As such, we will continue introducing new products and programs to compete in this difficult market," commented President and CEO, Mark Buller.
