SAN MARCOS, Calif., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Natural Alternatives International, Inc. ("NAI") (Nasdaq: NAII), a leading formulator and manufacturer of customized nutritional supplements, today announced net income of $277,000 or $0.04 per diluted share on revenue of $22.5 million for the third quarter ended March 31, 2005.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, revenue increased 21% to $66.8 million from $55.2 million for the comparable period last year. The growth in revenue resulted primarily from a 28% increase in contract manufacturing sales. Income before income taxes increased 34% to $2.8 million from $2.1 million for the comparable period last year. Net income decreased to $1.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share compared to $2.0 million or $0.32 per diluted share in the comparable period last year.
Third quarter revenue increased 6% to $22.5 million from $21.3 million for the comparable quarter last year. Revenue growth resulted primarily from an 8% increase in contract manufacturing sales. Income before income taxes decreased to $398,000 from $868,000 in the comparable quarter last year. Net income decreased to $277,000 or $0.04 per diluted share from $855,000 or $0.13 per diluted share for the comparable quarter last year.
As of March 31, 2005, NAI had cash and working capital of $3.5 million and $15.2 million, respectively, compared to $7.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2004. Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was $1.9 million. We invested $6.3 million in the expansion of our Vista, California manufacturing facility, which included the acquisition of additional manufacturing equipment. We funded our capital expenditures primarily from available cash on hand. As of March 31, 2005, we had $6.1 million available under our working capital line of credit.
President Randell Weaver stated, "We are pleased with the $700,000 improvement in pretax income despite incurring high regulatory compliance and related costs primarily relating to the Good Manufacturing Practices audit by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia (TGA). The TGA performed their physical audit of our facilities during this past quarter. There can be no assurance that we will receive the TGA's final certification, however, we expect we will receive it this quarter. Third quarter revenue and earnings were in line with our previous statements. We currently anticipate revenue and profitability for our fourth quarter to be consistent with our third quarter."
CEO Mark Le Doux commented, "We have extended our business relationship with NSA. The strategic relationship between NSA and NAI has prospered over the last thirteen years and we look forward to assisting NSA in its continuing growth."
