JVA 3.95 Coffee Holding Co., Inc. Reports Second Quarter and Six Month Earnings
Jun 14, 2007 9:00:00 AM

BROOKLYN, NY -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 06/14/07 -- Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (AMEX: JVA) today announced its operating results for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007. In this release, the Company:

-- Reports sales growth of 18.2% for the quarter;

-- Reports a $623,122 increase in net income for the quarter; and

-- Reports net income of $0.06 per share for the quarter.

Net income equaled $338,888, or $.06 per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended April 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of $284,234, or ($0.05) per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended April 30, 2006. Net income equaled $648,592, or $.12 per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared to net income of $235,404, or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The increase primarily reflects increased gross profit and was partially offset by increased operating expenses.

Net sales totaled $14,194,373 for the three months ended April 30, 2007, an increase of $2,183,445 or 18.2% from $12,010,928 for the three months ended April 30, 2006. Net sales totaled $26,829,485 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, an increase of $973,712 or 3.8% from $25,855,773 for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The increase in green coffee sales reflects higher sales of green coffee and private label coffee compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

"We are obviously pleased with our results for the quarter as operating margins returned to more historical levels. The price increases implemented at the beginning of 2007 were crucial in achieving these historical margins along with a favorable position in the green coffee markets were keys to a profitable quarter," said Andrew Gordon, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"I am always pleased when we are able to grow our business at the rate we have (18.8% for the quarter) while maintaining normal operating margins. In doing so, we continue to meet the challenges of an ever increasing volatile economic environment and we hope to keep to improving our margins while growing our sales over the balance of fiscal 2007. With some exciting new business on the West Coast as well as our first substantial business with our Joint Venture - Generations Coffee Co. to begin in the immediate future, we believe our goals will be achievable."
