EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- CCA Industries, Inc. (Amex: CAW) announced today revenues of $13,871,040, net income of $343,683, and earnings per share fully diluted of $0.05 for the first quarter ended February 29, 2008. Revenues for the first quarter last year were $13,975,385, and net income was $472,753, with fully diluted earnings per share of $0.07.
"The first quarter's net income has always been the lowest quarter because the Company's business model has been to spend approximately 80% of its media budget in the first six months, causing an inordinate reduction in the first six-month's earnings. Earnings in the third and fourth quarters should not be impacted by the disproportionate deduction of media expenses," stated Dunnan Edell, President.
"Despite all of the problems in the corporate world, the Company is working to build up its cash reserves. Free cash is a little higher than it was last year at this time. There is still no corporate debt. If one of our new initiatives or core products takes off, we are in the perfect position to commit additional capital and take quick advantage of such an opportunity."
On February 25, 2008, the Board of Directors declared an $0.11 per share dividend for the second quarter ending May 31, 2008 payable to shareholders of record May 1, 2008, and payable on June 1, 2008.
