AMERICAN WOODMARK CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS AUTHORIZES STOCK REPURCHASE

WINCHESTER, Virginia (November 24, 2015) -- American Woodmark Corporation (NASDAQ: AMWD) today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2015.

Net sales for the second fiscal quarter increased 18% to $256.3 million compared with the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year increased 13% to $487.5 million from the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company experienced growth in all channels during the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.

Net income was $18.2 million ($1.10 per diluted share) for the second quarter of the current fiscal year compared with $7.7 million ($0.48 per diluted share) for the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2016 was $33.3 million ($2.03 per diluted share) compared with $16.9 million ($1.07 per diluted share) for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Gross profit for the second quarter of the current fiscal year was 21.9% of net sales compared with 17.0% in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross profit for the first six months of the current fiscal year was 21.8% of net sales compared with 17.2% for the same period in the prior year. Gross profit in the current quarter and the first six months of the current fiscal year was favorably impacted by higher sales volume and improved operating efficiency.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 were 10.7% of net sales compared with 11.3% in the same quarter of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative costs for the first six months of the current fiscal year were 11.1% of net sales compared with 11.2% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in the Company’s operating expense ratio in the current quarter and the first six months of the current fiscal year was driven by favorable leverage from increased sales and on-going expense control.

The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $39.4 million during the first half of fiscal year 2016 compared with $18.6 million during the same period in the prior year. The improvement in the Company’s cash from operating activities was driven primarily by higher operating profitability, lower increases in inventory levels and higher accrued expenses. Net cash used by investing activities was $25.8 million during the first half of the current fiscal year compared with $26.0 million during the same period of the prior year due to a $16.5 million reduced investment in short-term certificates of deposit, which was partially offset by increased investment in promotional displays, property, plant and equipment of $16.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.9 million decreased $0.6 million during the first half of the current fiscal year compared to the same period in the prior year as the company repurchased 108,787 shares of common stock at a cost of $7.0 million, a $1.9 million reduction from the prior year, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options decreased $1.9 million.
