MOUNT GILEAD, N.C., Nov. 15, 2016

MOUNT GILEAD, N.C., Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- McRae Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets:  MCRAA and MCRAB) reported consolidated net revenues for fiscal 2016 of $108,758,000 as compared to $108,673,000 for fiscal 2015.  Net earnings for fiscal 2016 totaled $4,692,000 as compared to $6,641,000 for fiscal 2015.  Net earnings per diluted Class A common share were $2.36 for fiscal 2016 as compared to $3.17 for fiscal 2015.  

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FISCAL 2016 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2015

Consolidated net revenues for fiscal 2016 amounted to approximately $108.8 million as compared to $108.7 million for fiscal 2015.  Sales for our western/lifestyle products decreased from $67.1 million for fiscal 2015 to $58.8 million for fiscal 2016 primarily as a result of softening in higher priced ladies fashion boots and premium kid's boots. Consolidated net revenues from our work boot products totaled $49.7 million for fiscal 2016 as compared to $41.3 million for fiscal 2015.  This growth in work boot net revenues was the result of higher military boot production levels.  As we continue to gain efficiencies, we expect to see even higher production levels in fiscal 2017. Net revenues associated with our other small businesses were insignificant for fiscal 2016 and we expect their contribution to be minimal in the future. We enter fiscal 2017 with cautious optimism as we face a retail business climate that continues to evolve as consumers' choices for products and delivery models continue to change.  

Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2016 totaled $26.9 million as compared to $29.3 million for fiscal 2015.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues associated with our western/lifestyle boot segment amounted to 35.0%, down slightly from 35.7% for fiscal 2015 primarily due to changes in the product mix.  Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues related to our work boot business fell from 12.5% for fiscal 2015 to 12.3% for fiscal 2016.  This decline was primarily attributable to our military boot business making up a higher percentage of sales and carrying a considerably lower gross margin than other work boot products.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses amounted to $19.8 million as compared to $19.0 million for fiscal 2015.  This increase in SG&A expenses was the result of higher health insurance costs.  Our group health insurance costs increased over $1.6 million from fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2016. This was partially offset by a decrease in employee benefit expenses.

As a result of the above, consolidated operating profit totaled approximately $7.1 million for fiscal 2016 as compared to $10.3 million for fiscal 2015.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

At July 30, 2016, our financial condition and liquidity remained strong as cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.6 million as compared to $15.4 million at August 1, 2015.  Our working capital totaled $52.8 million at July 30, 2016 as compared to $51.3 million at August 1, 2015.

We currently have two lines of credit totaling $6.75 million, all of which were fully available at July 30, 2015.  One credit line totaling $1.75 million (which is restricted to one hundred percent of the outstanding receivables due from the Government) expires in January 2017.  The $5.0 million line of credit, which also expires in January 2017, is secured by the inventory and accounts receivable of our Dan Post Boot Company subsidiary.  

Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2016 amounted to approximately $5.2 million.  Net earnings, as adjusted for depreciation, contributed approximately $5.6 million of cash, along with deferred income taxes contributing approximately $1.0 million. Accounts receivable provided approximately $2.9 million of cash, as fourth quarter sales for our western/lifestyle segment decreased. Higher inventory levels in our military boot business, which were partially offset by lower inventory levels for our western/work boot business, used approximately $2.2 million of cash. The timing of payment for accounts payable and lower accrued employee benefits, accrued payroll, and income tax payments used approximately $2.4 million of cash.  

Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $3.4 million.  The majority was used for capital expenditures, primarily for our manufacturing facility and ERP system.

Net cash used to finance our dividend payments totaled approximately $1.3 million.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available credit lines will be sufficient to meet our capital requirements for fiscal 2017.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release includes certain forward-looking statements.  Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those projected, estimated, assumed or anticipated in any such forward-looking statements include: the effect of competitive products and pricing, risks unique to selling goods to the Government (including variation in the Government's requirements for our products and the Government's ability to terminate its contracts with vendors), changes in fashion cycles and trends in the western boot business, loss of key customers, acquisitions, supply interruptions, additional financing requirements, our expectations about future Government orders for military boots, loss of key management personnel, our ability to successfully develop new products and services, and the effect of general economic conditions in our markets.
