NORTH PLAINS, Ore., Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Jewett-Cameron Trading Company Ltd. (JCTCF) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 ended November 30, 2013.
Sales were $8.01 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to sales of $9.30 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. For the quarter, income from operations was $543,924 compared to $772,385 in the year-ago quarter. Net income for the quarter was $332,579, or $0.11 per share, compared to net income of $480,746, or $0.15 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Per share amounts have been adjusted for the 2 for 1 stock split of the common shares effective May 2, 2013.
"Our markets have become much more competitive," said CEO Don Boone. "In response, we have increased our efforts to obtain new business and expand our customer base to smaller and mid-size customers. These initiatives resulted in higher selling expenses during the quarter."
As of November 30, 2013, the Company's cash position was $8.096 million, and currently there is no borrowing against its $5.0 million line of credit. Today, the Company announced a new share re-purchase plan where it can repurchase for cancellation up to 313,493 common shares representing 10% of the approximately 3.1 million common shares outstanding. This share repurchase plan may commence on January 20, 2014 and will remain in place until May 16, 2014 but may be limited or terminated at any time without prior notice.
